ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) affects focus, self-control, and executive function—skills key to workplace success.
Many with ADHD face forgetfulness, boredom, impulsivity, and difficulty managing deadlines and emotions at work.
People with ADHD often face executive function issues—difficulty with organizing, prioritizing, memory, and flexible thinking.
Talking too much, interrupting, or being too blunt can strain coworker relationships and affect team dynamics.
Busy offices can feel overwhelming. Using headphones or finding quieter workspaces can boost concentration.
Divide large assignments into smaller parts, use checklists, and take short breaks to maintain focus and structure.
Working alongside a colleague—even virtually—can improve accountability and make repetitive tasks easier to complete.
Prepare in advance, write talking points, and use fidget tools or sit close to the speaker to stay engaged during meetings.
AI tools and voice-to-text software can help you organize tasks and follow conversations better during hectic workdays.
Creative thinking, bold ideas, and resilience are common among people with ADHD—embrace your unique edge at work.
