“Why did I come into this room?” “What was I about to say?”
These moments aren’t carelessness — they’re the working-memory challenges common in ADHD. The ADHD brain processes ideas quickly but struggles to hold them long enough to act.
Coaching uses external memory supports — visual boards, capture tools, and structured prompts — to keep thoughts visible. By reducing the brain’s load, you free up focus for creativity and follow-through.
Working memory doesn’t need fixing; it needs scaffolding.
