How to Find a Virtual Assistant Who Actually Gets ADHD
ADHD-ish Blog: Avigail’s perspective on this issue is unique and invaluable. As someone who specializes in helping ADHD entrepreneurs find and integrate the right kind of support, she's seen both sides: the client desperate for help but unable to articulate what they need, and the virtual assistant waiting passively for instructions that never come.
Stop Executive Function Impairments with Cognitive Ergonomics
ADHD is often discussed in terms of visible symptoms—distraction, procrastination, and executive functioning challenges. But what if there was a deeper way to translate those behaviors into actionable insights? In this episode of my ADHD mindset and motivation podcast, Jeff Copper introduces cognitive ergonomics, an engineering-based paradigm that focuses on the underlying mechanisms of ADHD. This approach represents a significant evolution in ADHD executive coaching methodology. One standout tool is the "attention scope"—simulated experiences that let you actually experience your cognitive patterns, moving self-awareness from intellectual insight into embodied understanding. The result? A practical method for recognizing situations that trigger executive function impairments and clearer strategies for accommodation through ADHD executive coaching. What's the most overlooked ADHD accommodation? Direct oral conversation—talking things through to clarify ambiguity. This isn't just helpful; it's vital. Voice memos, Voxer chats, and coaching calls are legitimate cognitive accommodations that address executive function impairments. Cognitive ergonomics gives these methods the validation they deserve.
