Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I focus on my work with ADHD?

  ADHDers usually count focused work sessions in terms of minutes—and too often we count those minutes on one hand. But science says we can reboot our brain with pattern interruption. You can interrupt the pattern of your day by changing your venue.

• What does hyper focus mean for people with ADHD?

  Hyper-Focus: Intense concentration so that you lose track of time and place. People with ADHD often face challenges in several of these categories simultaneously. You benefit from any daily routines because these structures help you prepare for and adapt to what’s coming.

• Why do people with ADHD have a hard time focusing?

  The answer lies in brain chemistry: ADHD brains are naturally low on dopamine and norepinephrine, which control brain arousal and attention levels. Other people may find that, when the situation calls for it, they can “buckle down” and force their brains to focus.

• What does sustained attention mean for people with ADHD?

  Sustained attention—sticking with what you are doing and staying on task—is a key component of focus. It's the sense of "flow" most of us feel when we are chugging along at doing something. Most folks with ADHD don’t notice when they drift off but rather when they return from losing the focus of their attention.
