ADHD: Taking Notes and Making Lists—A Deep Dive

Got ADHD? Do you struggle with notes and lists—taking them but not knowing what to do with them, or ending up with lists scattered everywhere? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://www.digcoaching.com) explores the functional role of notes and lists to better understand what’s happening cognitively. Sometimes notes help you pay attention in the moment. Other times they serve as a reference to revisit information or a way to synthesize ideas so they’re easier to study and remember. And sometimes, people simply stop using their notes altogether.Jeff breaks down why many people with ADHD repeatedly rewrite daily lists, struggle to act on what’s written, or feel overwhelmed by the whole process. If you’re confused about how notes and lists are supposed to work—or feel like you’re doing them “wrong”—this episode will help clarify their purpose and how to use them more effectively. If this sounds like you, tune in. You may discover you’re doing more right than you think.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.
