ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is often misunderstood. While many people associate it with hyperactivity or difficulty focusing, there is a key aspect of ADHD that frequently gets overlooked: executive functioning.

Do you have a hard time starting tasks when they’re too boring or too difficult? Maybe you get distracted easily and that prevents you from getting any work done. Or do you find that you have trouble working on projects because you never know how to get them done?

We often focus on the end result of what we want, to get a good grade in a class for example, and forget to start with the basics.
