The primary problem listed by Adults with ADHD in surveys is procrastination. But this is not a simple issue of motivation or of understanding, it is an issue of doing. Traditional therapy and coaching that focus on motivation and planning simply don't work, or work for a weeek or two only. People living with ADD struggle with forgetfulness, planning, activation and in doing what is interesting not what is important.
As an Adult ADHD Coach I focus on the doing, I call this Action Coaching - how to make new behaviours stick, not just for a day or week but for life; how to create routines and habits; how to make tasks more interesting and stimulating; how to remember what to do; and how to plan within the constraints of ADHD. I will write more on the principles of Action Coaching soon...
