203 Understanding Executive Functions - Self-Motivation


Listen Later

I’m so relieved to be wrapping up the last episode in the executive function series. This episode focuses on self-motivation, which is quite funny seeing as how I have felt very little of it to get this series done. 

The timing of this episode couldn’t be more perfect, however, because we are in the last few weeks before taxes are due! Many of you adults with ADHD may be especially struggling with the motivation to beat that deadline, and I’m here to explain why.

It all comes down to our lack of dopamine, but that doesn’t mean we are lazy or a lost cause for productivity. A customized cocktail of support can help us improve in this impaired executive function.

I provide several tips in the episode for improving motivation through determination. Three of these include:

  1. Talking to your doctor about medically increasing your dopamine
  2. Setting up rewards systems for yourself
  3. Joining a coaching program, like FOCUSED

Listen to this episode,  and please share with a friend who could also benefit!
