In this mini episode of the ADHD Goals Podcast, the host dives into the concept of executive functioning and its impact on individuals with ADHD. Executive functioning involves cognitive processes that help control and manage behaviours, essential for planning, organising, and prioritising tasks. The episode explores key aspects such as working memory, inhibition, emotional regulation, planning, task initiation, time management, and flexible thinking. It emphasises how deficiencies in these areas contribute to daily life challenges for those with ADHD. The host offers practical tools and strategies to manage these challenges, including breaking tasks into smaller steps, using reminders, and seeking ADHD coaching. The episode aims to provide insights into improving daily functioning and reducing stress associated with ADHD.
