April 18th Hot Topic – Stay Motivated and Accountable
Navigating the challenges of ADHD and motivation can sometimes feel like a struggle, even with a daily planner in hand. Tasks that seem mundane or repetitive can be especially daunting for adults with ADHD, as traditional motivation techniques may not always hit the mark. While the tendency to rely on urgent deadlines is common, there's hope in experimenting with new approaches and finding resources tailored to individual needs. Understanding that ADHD isn't simply a matter of willpower, but rather a complex brain chemistry can alleviate some of the frustration in managing motivation and tasks effectively.

You are not alone. Come join a community of peers where you can safely discuss your neurodiverse experiences with a supportive community of peers once month.

You can attend these virtual Meetups on the third Thursday of every month. The more Meetups you attend, the more peer connections you’ll make with other professionals who have neurodiverse brains like you. Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.

Join us to be welcomed into a community that gets you and lives with similar neurodiverse brains.

During the Meetups we’ll share struggles as well as systems and strategies to overcome your executive functioning and working memory challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, miscommunication, interrupting, inattentiveness, stress, distractibility, procrastination, paperwork fails, imposter syndrome, having to mask your neurodiversity at work, and weak organization skills.

The Community
Professionals in technology who are managing ADHD, ADD, autism, dyslexia, depression, anxiety, or other neurodivergent conditions.
