The Challenge
Sylvia, a 49-year-old teacher and mother of two teenage sons, received her ADHD diagnosis just six months ago, after a long history of anxiety and panic attacks. Stretched thin and constantly overwhelmed, she also serves as the primary caregiver for her parents, who live 45 minutes away. Sylvia’s to-do list seems endless, yet she never feels like she’s making any real progress. She spends her days “putting out fires”—jumping from one urgent task to the next—and wonders how it’s possible that she works so hard but always feels behind.
The Progress
Since completing our workshop, Sylvia has gained greater clarity on which tasks are truly important and how to prioritize them. In week three of our program, we provide a deep dive into prioritization, teaching strategies to spend less time and energy on tasks that are necessary but don’t deserve as much mental bandwidth as they currently occupy. Our workshop also provides participants with tools to improve their awareness of time and decrease “time blindness,” a common struggle for many people with ADHD. We believe that before you can manage your time effectively, you must first improve your awareness of it, which is why our program starts with skills to help you in this area.
