Turns out, regulating motivation is a skill to be learned. If you’d like to be on the waitlist for my next executive functioning group, drop motivation down on the comments. #adhd #executivefunction #Neurodivergent

I can’t tell you how many times I meet with a late diagnosed Neuro divergent individual who tells me that they skipped the class on adulting and feel like they’re just pretending, constantly waiting for someone to find out that they’re not a real adult. The thing is, executive functioning is

Your brain might not be wired for 6 a.m. productivity. Aligning work with your natural energy rhythm can boost focus, consistency, and follow-through more than any “miracle morning.” #adhdbrain #executivefunction #adhd #neurodivergent

You’ve probably been told that attention is like a muscle. It needs rest. While I could go on for days about the type of rest, that your attention needs, a huge mistake I see too many people making is not actually putting that knowledge into practice. Taking breaks, will help you optimize your

Your system didn’t fail, it just outgrew its launch size. ADHD brains love big ideas, but sustainable success comes from small starts. #adhdadults #adhdcoaching #productivitytips #perfectionism #worksmarternotharder

Perfectionism isn’t productivity. ADHD brains love improving systems but constant fine-tuning kills momentum. Build version one, use it, then evolve. #adhdcoach #perfectionism #adhdentrepreneur #adhdtips

Discipline isn’t the answer. You need the right anchor for your brain. When “3 p.m.” doesn’t work, try “after lunch” or “once my call ends.” That’s how you turn time blindness into timing that actually works for your brain. #adhdbrain #executivefunctioning #adhdtips

Stop relying on your brain to do all of the work. Changing your environment, can be the difference between success and another week of feeling stuck. #AskJAN #adultadhd #adhd #autism #neurodivergent

Offering voice and choice in the format that instruction is given, not only increases motivation and engagement, but also help students develop crucial self awareness and metacognitive abilities that are necessary for their executive functioning development. #Teacher #IEP #executivedysfuntion

Dr. Lethco @drlethco.bsky.social · 18d

Starting isn’t a motivation problem, it’s a brain activation problem. When dopamine is low and context is missing, your brain never gets the “go” signal. The goal isn’t to push harder; it’s to design a spark your brain can actually respond to. Save this for the next time you’re staring at the

🇺🇸💔🔵 I don’t know about you, but nobody taught me how to take good breaks. The difference between a good Brain rig and a bad brain break is genuinely hours of productivity every day multiplied by weeks months, and years that you don’t figure this out. Highly recommend this self experiment. Let

The sooner we learn to accept the natural life cycle of routines and habits with executive functioning the sooner we can move on and start making real progress towards our goals. #adhd #adhdcoach #neurodivergent

While managing time is a direct function of executive functioning. There are also indirect aspects of time management at play. Because executive functions are significantly more effortful and unpredictable, completing tasks can take much longer. While we have some tools for helping students with

Your focus has rhythms. The goal isn’t to stay ‘on’ all the time! The more we respect our natural attention rhythms the easier it is to restart when the rhythm gets interrupted or takes a pause. #adhd #ADHDtips #motivation #procrastination #productivity
