#Adhd Executive Function Coaching

ADHD & executive function ⬇️ Executive function is what helps us plan, prioritize, start tasks, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through. In people with ADHD, these functions are impaired, which explains why we can want to do something and know it’s important, and still struggle. We can’t decide where to begin. We lose track of time. We shut down from overwhelm. Even with the best intentions and a fully mapped-out to-do list, we can still manage to get absolutely nothing done and it’s incredibly frustrating. Here are 6 ways executive dysfunction makes life difficult for people with ADHD. Let me know some of the ways you struggle day to day, and follow me for more relatable content about adult ADHD. #adhdexplained #adhdstruggles #adhdmidlife #adhdproblems #adhdbrain #adhdfacts #adhdmom #adhdawareness #adultadhd #adhdwomen #adhdmom #neurodivergent #neurodiverse #neurospicy #relatablemom #honestmom

It’s not procrastination. It’s paralysis. For ADHD brains, starting is often the hardest part. Not because we don’t care. Not because we’re lazy. But because our brains struggle to activate—especially when the task is emotionally heavy, overwhelming, or just… boring. If you’ve ever stared at your to-do list and done nothing for hours, I see you. And no, beating yourself up won’t make it easier next time. ✨ Here’s what can help: ✔️Body doubling ✔️Start-only timers ✔️Breaking tasks down so far it feels silly ✔️Tiny rewards for momentum ✔️Telling someone what you’re starting Start wherever you are. It still counts. What helps you initiate tasks when your brain is on strike? Drop it in the comments—we can crowdsource ideas!

Executive function is a proactive skill set. That’s why it doesn’t develop when you are reactive. Reminding a kid for the third time, yelling about how you’re sick and tired, constant correction won’t actually help them develop the skill because the skill is proactive. If we want to facilitate a proactive, self-directed effort, then we have to create lines of questioning and collaborative, thinking that are proactive and help a child direct himself. Start in the car on the way home. Make it a routine. Make the questions predictable patterns. #growthmindset #middleschool #parentingtips #teenager #fyp

Someone asked if there are ways to improve your executive function if you grew up in poverty or experienced other kinds of trauma or discrimination. YES! These are free or as close to free as possible, and only require a few minutes on google to get 1,000,000 ideas. None of these are quick fixes, they require both commitment and self-compassion (for when you miss a day, feel like you screwed up, etc.) Be kind to yourself! You’re doing the best you can. ♥️ #socialjustice #antiracism #endpoverty #publichealth #executivefunction
