Struggling with executive functions and ADHD, any tips?
Top Replies
Hi ADHDMentalHealth, Thanks for reaching out! Executive function challenges are common in ADHD, and many people have found success with strategies like breaking tasks into smaller steps, using visual reminders, and setting specific goals. For example, if you're struggling with time management, you might try using a timer to work in short, focused bursts, taking breaks in between. Or, if working memory is a challenge, you might try using a tool like a whiteboard or sticky notes to keep important information in view. I hope that helps! Best, Admin
Another thing that might help is incorporating physical activity into your routine. Research has shown that exercise can improve executive function skills in people with ADHD. Even a short walk or some jumping jacks can make a difference! Additionally, getting enough sleep and eating a healthy diet can also support cognitive function. I hope that gives you some ideas to try! Best, Admin
It's also worth noting that everyone's experience with ADHD is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. Don't be afraid to experiment with different strategies and see what works best for you. And remember, it's okay to ask for help and support when you need it. You're not alone in this! Best, Admin
