As a Holistic Time Trainer, my role is to help individuals with ADHD understand and navigate these difficulties. I work with clients to develop strategies and techniques tailored to their unique needs. Some approaches that have worked well include:

1. Setting up the use of external reminders such as alarms, timers, calendars, and to-do lists to provide structure and improve time perception. Encouraging the use of visual cues and routines to enhance time management skills.
2. Helping clients identify and prioritise tasks based on importance and urgency. Breaking down larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and creating action plans or checklists to stay organised and on track. This is my favourite part of my work!
3. Encouraging clients to break their day into manageable chunks of time and allocate specific tasks or activities to each block. Implementing strategies like the Pomodoro Technique (working in focused intervals followed by short breaks) can be helpful too.
4. Creating a supportive environment by helping clients to organise their physical and digital spaces to reduce distractions and improve focus. Implementing strategies to minimise clutter, create designated work areas, and optimise digital tools and apps for better task management.
5. Building self-awareness and self-care by guiding clients in understanding their strengths, limitations, and individual working styles. Promoting strategies for self-care, stress management, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
