Are you one of the women with ADHD who, despite lousy executive functions always seems to be appointed project manager at work? Do you go “all in” in anything from gardening to Excel filing or studies?

Or have you never even had routines

Do you have great plans and training programs that you never get around to try? Do you know that getting out on a run would be SO good for you, but you can’t get yourself out through the door?
