I have been watching videos on this topic because several people I am close to are adults with ADHD. It’s helpful for me to understand a bit about how their brains work and what their challenges are. This one really surprises me. All of the practical tips are habits that I use in my own life. I don’t have ADHD, but I prefer to have my life and my home organized and running smoothly, so I worked them out for myself over the years. They definitely work well for me!

Really good, useful info. Thanks for the talk. I think it'd be really helpful, when creating webinars about ADHD, if the pace/content could vary a bit more. Very tough for those of us with ADHD to stay focused and engaged with long talking heads slots with Text slides. I think it's surprising that we don't anticipate/manage this issue more creatively. Always surprises me that ADHD webinars are frequently un-adhd- friendly, the excellent expertise is wastefully utilised, by not applying it to the design and content of these sessions. I'm grateful for the info and the work and the solidarity but I do think these webinars could be better designed to serve the ADHD audience as so far I've found them inaccessible due to the need to focus for a long time on unchanging content.

Also, has anyone seen my car keys...?

I think it's about funding and time, as a teacher, I can tell you it takes three times as long to plan a class like that than to make slides and go through slides. The advantage is we can turn the speed up, because it's video, unlike sitting through a face to face class. You also don't have to sit and watch the video, you can get up and go around, you can listen to it while you doodle

Excellent explanation re. too many tabs and the PC freezing up!! I realised I'm already doing a few of the methods -eg everything has a home, and near to where it's needed. It's the time management and procrastination for my OH that we cant seem to get anywhere with.
