Crafting Your ADHD Survival Kit with Mad...

WILLIAM CURB
About this episode

Hey team!

We're chatting with Maddy De Gabriele, an Australian science communicator who's turned her personal journey with ADHD into a mission to help others. Through her Adult ADHD Starter Kit and corporate workshops, Maddy breaks down ADHD management into bite-sized, easily digestible pieces.

In this episode we dive into specific tools that can become part of your everyday toolkit for managing your ADHD. We discuss timers, headphones, pillboxes, blankets and more in this episode. If you've been wanting an episode that goes into the actual tools that I and many others use in their day to day ADHD life, then this is the episode - Maddy brings the goods.

This Episode's Top Tips 

  1. When we're looking at what goes into our tool kit we need to be thinking of both the physical and mental items that can assist us throughout the day.
  2. It's important to work on getting past the idea of how we "should" be able to do certain things and look at what tools will let us actually do those things.
  3. It's important to work on understanding and accepting ADHD as a chronic condition. We need to recognize ADHD's impact on our daily life and work on employing practical tools and strategies to mitigate those challenges.
