So that's R, A. What about I?

I is implement.

So this is about implementing a strategy in that moment that works for you.

And, you know, in coaching sessions, we talk about what those...

strategies are personally for you what works for you so for procrastination for example I work with a guy who has some very important presentations to do for his organization and often puts them off to the very last minute and it's only when I explained that you know the ADHD brain runs on reward urgency and novelty that it triggered for him as to why he does that him having a strategy you know if he likes fizzy sweets for example

And the reward thing, because we live in now or not now, the reward thing is about having it while you're doing.

It's not about rewarding at the end because we can't see that.

So it's about him having a bowl of fizzy sweets next to him while he needs to do this particular task or taking himself off to the cafe to do it.

So it's novel, you know, or the urgency thing that he's already nailed because he's doing it at the last minute, 11 o'clock at night.

So it's finding the right strategy for you that you can confidently work

put to use every time that this triggers without getting bored of it, like us ADHDists can do, of strategies that aren't designed for us.

What about S?

So S takes us into systemize, and that's where that strategy is really important, that mechanism that you're putting in is specifically something that's going to work for you.

Because systemizing it is about not just doing it for the first three times and then going, well, that works and then getting bored.

It's about engineering a cognitive path that is saying, yes, I am going to do this every time my RSD triggers.

this is what I'm going to do.

I am going to go to a, I'm going to stop.

I'm going to accept it.

I'm going to find a safe space and I'm going to do the evidence check.

So it is about getting into that regular process of going, I know this is the trigger.
