Many with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a love/hate relationship with habits and routines. On one hand these habits and routines provide structure, consistency, stability, and conformity in a sometimes chaotic life; on the other hand, they can be restrictive, confining, and boring. One thing is for sure. The self-help section of the book store, as well as schools, business, and society, all emphasize the establishment of and need for consistency, routines, and the formation of habits. Easy enough for those with ADHD; right? Wrong! If it were easy for those with ADHD to form or change habits, they would have done it by now.
In this presentation we will take an in-depth look at ADHD, its nature, and the forming and changing of habits. We will examine why it can be more difficult for those with ADHD to change habits, why they procrastinate around forming habits, and why they might not be able to adopt a new organizational structure that promises to help them become better organized and improve efficiency.
With new awareness of the challenges inherent in forming and changing habits for those with ADHD, we discuss key things to consider when attempting to adopt or change a habit. We look at key environmental factors that can improve the chances of success, as well as a reasonable expectation of what can be done in this area.
If you have ADHD and find yourself procrastinating around establishing or changing habits, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.

there’s no way to actually leave a review as shown in the image. also frustrating that you have to both ” complete” and then “finish” the course.
overall probably good info if you dont know much about ADHD but for someone with even a bit more than basic knowledge this didn’t offer concrete tips for the most part. I did like the idea of the 31 days folds folder system though for me I’ll start with now, soon, and later folders and maybe work toward more fine grained if that helps me
Really helpful framework. I now have a better sense as to why keeping a long running document works for me – and why it was so inextricably difficult to follow all of the “systems” my manager insisted on (trackers for trackers for trackers) they were convenient for her – and annoyingly redundant for me 🙂
I don’t get past the start button
Hi Kathy, if you are logged in, this might be helped with logging back out and back in again. Otherwise, logging in is required to view these courses.
The program doesn’t begin when I click start. The circle keeps moving but there is no action. Is there another way to get this information?
I can’t get this program to start . The wheel just turns and turns . Is there another way to get this info ? Thanks
