ADHD at Work – What Actually Helps Focus and Performance
Focus and performance are things we expect at work. But for a growing number of people, they don’t come easily – even when effort and intent are there. With more people diagnosed with ADHD, and many others questioning their own focus and consistency, work can start to feel harder than it should. The default advice is usually simple: be more organised, manage your time better, try harder. But when priorities constantly change, expectations aren’t clear, and structure is inconsistent, those messages don’t help. Focus drops, consistency suffers, and people are often misunderstood or labelled unfairly. ⭐ Supporting ADHD at work isn’t about labels or lowering standards. ⭐ It’s about clearer expectations, better structure and fewer moving targets. ⭐ When work is designed well, focus and performance improve for everyone.
