And I think the key point is we're lacking in dopamine.

Our ADHD brains don't have enough dopamine and cleaning and sorting and life admin and whatever else is really, really boring.

So this is the problem is we're lacking in dopamine.

So we can think of a hundred things as much more fun than doing that.

So the idea of little and often or doing a little bit every day is wonderful in principle.

And obviously with ADHD brains, everyone's different, aren't they?

So it might work well for someone, right?

I don't know anyone yet with ADHD.

Any of my clients, you go, that works perfectly.

But I do think that there are better ways.

Yes.

And this is it.

I think you've just hit the nail with the working memory as well.

So the executive function challenges, if you're ADHD, your executive function level is about a 30%.

deficit age-wise from a neurotypical brain.

So what I mean by that is you might have, let's say, I'm really bad at maths by the way, but let's just take a 20-year-old, right?

Their executive function skills might be 30 to 40% their age younger.

So you're actually dealing, very bad at maths like I said, with like a kind of 12-year-old, right?

Which is why you might have teenagers and you're thinking, why is this not working?

Or you might be a young adult.
