The 4 Pillars of ADHD Productivity

Productivity can feel like something never to be achieved when you have ADHD. But it is achievable.

What is Productivity?

Simply put it’s how much you get done. More specifically, it’s the ratio between outputs and inputs – what you get out from what you put in.

The great thing about productivity is that it can always be improved. You can find efficiencies; you can build effectiveness.

People want productivity as it creates a feeling of momentum, and momentum keeps us on the path to achieving goals.

Here’s what ADHD productivity looks like:

1. Time

You have tools to estimate time and strategies to help manage and hold you accountable. You use time wisely, investing it in what really matters. You are reliable and feel good about yourself – finally!

2. Organisation

You bring your future into today – you have a plan for today that considers your future best interests. You use scaffolding (structures, routines, props) to turn your thoughts and ideas into reality. Your actions are organised over time so you can achieve your goals.

3. Motivation-Accountability

You no longer feel frustrated or stuck and have stopped beating yourself up. You generate motivation through external accountability because it works. It keeps you on track, mindful of what you want to achieve, and you have support.

4. Resilience

You keep going when things get tough or uncertain. You have energy and willpower because you have streamlined your life and no longer feel depleted. And you are prepared for obstacles, knowing you have scaffolding and accountability in place to support you. You have confidence in yourself, your strengths, and abilities, and this grows with each challenge you overcome.

The Result

Performance. With each productivity gain, momentum builds, your confidence grows, you perform better, and you feel even more confident.

You enjoy the benefits in all areas of your life.
And who doesn’t want that?
