Embrace the Focus: Avoid Task Shifting

Individuals with ADHD face significant challenges in task shifting due to the difficulty in regaining focus after interruptions. The concept of a 'temporal dead zone' arises, where a person with ADHD, having completed a task and facing an impending meeting, often refrains from starting a new task. This reluctance is rooted in the awareness that beginning another task will likely lead to an interruption, resulting in either missing the meeting or becoming frustrated by the need to stop working. Consequently, this creates a time block where productivity is lost, emphasizing the importance of scheduling and managing tasks around meetings to maintain focus.
