About this episode

Out of sight out of mind is probably one of the best descriptions of ADHD. We need important items and reminders in front of us and it needs to capture our attention.

So that's what we're going to talk about today. Why visual cues for busy adults with ADHD can be a game changer. Well many of us have challenges with short term memory, visual cues and aids can help us tremendously.

Dave talks with Sara Olsher, the founder of Mighty and Bright, an organization that creates very useful products to help people with visual structure.

Sara talks about founding Mighty and Bright, her personal story and why she decided to build this business.

Dave and Sara discuss visual cues and why they can be highly effective for those of us with different brains. Remember out of sight, out of mind.

They also discuss why from many busy adults with ADHD, important reminders as well as physical items sometimes need to be in our face.

Sara discusses what makes a great visual aid including those around the house.

And Dave and Sara talk about some of the important ways that visual aids can help busy adults with ADHD including task initiation, completing tasks and projects, aiding in our challenges with short term memory as well as reducing overwhelm.

Sara talks about the more popular charts that her business offers and why they are popular.
