An ADHDier course · Getting Things Done
Just Start
Understanding the gap between knowing and doing.
What this course is
Not motivation.
Activation.
You already know what needs doing. You have known for days. You have thought about it more times than the task would have taken. And still the thing sits there, getting heavier every hour it stays undone.
This course is not about motivation, discipline, or wanting it more. It is about activation — the specific, separate skill of getting a task from intention into motion — and the conditions that make it possible.
Every lesson gives you something to understand, something to try today, and something to keep.

03Make the First Move Smaller
Not smaller as encouragement. Smaller until it is almost insultingly easy — that is the actual threshold.

04Build the Runway
Most starting problems are environment problems wearing a personality costume.

05Borrow Activation
Interest, urgency, novelty and other people are not cheats. For an ADHD nervous system they are the fuel that actually ignites.

06Starting Again
Every system breaks. The skill that matters is not consistency — it's how quickly you return after the break.

Where this comes from
Barkley, Executive Functions
Frames ADHD around self-regulation and the delay between intention and action rather than knowledge or willingness.
Faraone et al., 2021 — International Consensus Statement
Summarises the broad evidence base for ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition affecting self-regulation across the lifespan.
NICE guideline NG87
Recommends environmental and structural supports alongside any medical treatment, rather than effort-based advice alone.
ADHDier courses are educational. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a replacement for individual clinical advice.
