ADHD And Above

Using Positive Psychology to support people with ADHD recognise their strengths and how they can use them to achieve their goals.

18/09/2026

Two people can both have ADHD and need completely different things.

That’s why I’m wary of anyone saying:

“This is the system people with ADHD should use.”

Which people?

I have ADHD myself. That gives me lived experience.

It doesn’t mean your brain works exactly like mine.

Coaching, for me, is about understanding you.

☑What gets in your way.
☑What you're already good at.
☑What you've tried before.
☑And what might actually work in your real life.

Not squeezing you into somebody else’s idea of how ADHD should be managed.

What’s one piece of ADHD advice that has never worked for you?

17/09/2026

What shall I eat?

Should I reply now or later?

Which one should I buy?

Do I go or stay home?

Small decisions can take up a ridiculous amount of mental space when you have ADHD.

And sometimes the problem isn’t making the “right” decision.

It’s giving every decision the same importance.

That’s one of the reasons I created my own ADHD Decision Toolkit.

It’s designed to help take some of the noise out of decision-making to give me real practical ways to move forward when my brain gets stuck.

Because choosing what to have for lunch really shouldn’t require a board meeting.

16/09/2026

Please tell me this isn’t just me.

Sometimes the task isn’t even difficult.

But my brain has apparently decided we need a full internal enquiry before we begin.

One thing I’ve learned is that beating yourself up during those three hours doesn’t make the five-minute task any easier.

Finding out what you’re actually stuck on might.

What’s your current five-minute task?

15/09/2026

“Start the report” might still be too big.

Try:

Open the document.

Still avoiding it?

Open the laptop.

ADHD brains can struggle when the starting point feels vague, boring or bigger than it actually is.

So make the first step almost ridiculously easy.

You’re not trying to finish the whole thing.

You’re just making it easier to begin.

Save this for the next time your brain says “absolutely not”.

14/09/2026

Some days ADHD feels less like “being distracted” and more like having absolutely everything competing for your attention at once.

✔The email you need to answer.
✔The thing you forgot yesterday.
✔The brilliant idea you absolutely must not forget.
✔The appointment later.
🤷And something you’re fairly sure you were supposed to be doing right now.

The answer isn’t always “try harder to focus”.

Sometimes it’s getting some of that noise out of your head and somewhere you can see it.

Write it down. Pick one thing. Start there.

And yes, the other 46 tabs will probably still complain.

How many tabs are open in your brain today?

10/09/2026

Ever spent longer thinking about doing something than it would have taken to actually do it?

⌛The five-minute email.
⌛The form you keep avoiding.
⌛The phone call you’ve been meaning to make all week.

With ADHD, knowing what needs doing and being able to start doing it aren’t always the same thing.

Instead of asking:

“Why haven’t I done this?”

Try:

“What’s making this difficult to start?”

Too boring? Too vague? Too many steps? No obvious starting point?

Once you know what’s getting in the way, you can actually do something about it.

What ridiculously small task has your brain turned into a major project recently?

I have ADHD.

I’m also an ADHD coach.

But that doesn't mean I assume somebody else's ADHD works exactly like mine.

Actually, quite the opposite.

Living with ADHD has taught me just how differently the same difficulty can show up in different people.

Something that works brilliantly for me might be completely useless to you.
And I'm not particularly interested in forcing people into systems they'll abandon three weeks later.

I'd rather work out:

☑What gets in your way?
☑What already works?
☑What do you naturally do well?
☑And what could we change to make life slightly easier?

My experience helps me understand.

It doesn't give me permission to assume.

If you've ever been given ADHD advice that was completely useless for you, I'd love to hear it.

One thing I’ve learned about overthinking decisions is that it can feel very productive.

I’m considering the options.

I’m being sensible.

I’m making sure I get it right.

Except sometimes I’m not doing any of those things.

I’m thinking about the same information for the nineteenth time and hoping it will suddenly tell me something different.

These are three questions I find useful when I notice myself doing it.

📌They don't make the decision for me.

📌They help me work out whether I actually need more thinking.

📌Save this one. Your brain will probably forget it exists precisely when you need it.

There are decisions I’ve made in five minutes that genuinely mattered.

And then there are decisions that have somehow taken up residence in my brain for three days.

Not necessarily big decisions either.

⁉Reply now or later?
⁉Go or stay home?
⁉ Buy this one or that one?
⁉ Start with this task or that task?

The strange thing about ADHD and decision-making is that the amount of thinking involved doesn’t always match the importance of the decision. Sometimes more thinking gives us clarity.

Sometimes we’re just going around the same roundabout again.

I’ve been looking at this a lot recently, including the things that actually help me get out of that loop.

What ridiculously small decision have you massively overthought recently?

02/09/2026

Some decisions deserve careful thought.

Others absolutely do not.

And yet somehow an ADHD brain can give both of them exactly the same amount of attention.

Which laptop should I buy? Fair enough.

Which job should I take? Definitely worth thinking about.

Which takeaway should I order?

Apparently we’ll need forty-five minutes, three menus, six changed minds and possibly a spreadsheet.

Decision-making is something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently, particularly why seemingly tiny decisions can sometimes take up a ridiculous amount of mental space.

So during September I’m going to share some of the things I use to make decisions easier.

Some are very simple.

Which is probably why they work.

What completely insignificant decision do you regularly overthink?

I’ll be sharing more about ADHD and decision-making throughout September. If you’d like to know more about the support I offer, you’ll find the link in my bio.
