Condition guide

ADHD / ADD

Not a lack of attention, but an inconsistency in directing it.

What is it, really?

ADHD affects executive function: the brain systems that regulate attention, impulse control, working memory and emotional regulation. It is not laziness or a lack of willpower. People with ADHD often have enormous capacity for focus when genuinely engaged.

What you can do right now

  • Break tasks into small, clear steps
  • Use timers and visual cues rather than verbal reminders
  • Remove distractions from the work environment where possible
  • Acknowledge effort, not just results
  • Understand that inconsistency is part of the condition
