Translating ADHD

This week, Cam and Shelly continue our conversation on ADHD and decision making by looking at decision making during the work day. We look at where missed decision points can happen during our work day. We then discuss how listeners can apply a learning action model to create change by catching more opportunities for decision, considering what the decision at hand is when a decision point is identified, and saving bandwidth for the decisions that matter.

This week, Cam and Shelly continue our conversation on creating a meaningful work day as ADHD adults by looking at agreements. We discuss the implicit agreements that we make with ourselves and others, and how we can fail to uphold those agreements when they are not clear or when a bigger signal grabs our attention. We then look at why explicit agreements are much more powerful for our ADHD brains. When we make explicit agreements with ourselves and others we know our commitment, our role, and how others around us can support. Finally, we discuss how listeners can begin to examine their existing agreements to look for opportunities to strengthen those agreements.
