If you have ADHD, you’ve probably been told to “just use a planner,” “try harder,” or “be more disciplined.” You already know how that goes.

ADHD coaching is different. It’s not about willpower. It’s about building support that works with your brain — not against it.

So what is ADHD coaching?

ADHD coaching is a structured, practical partnership that helps you strengthen executive function in real life.

That includes things like:

• prioritizing when everything feels urgent

• planning without overplanning

• starting tasks (especially the boring ones)

• finishing what you start

• building routines you can actually keep

• reducing overwhelm and decision fatigue

• creating systems that survive “off days”

A good coach helps you translate insight into action — and action into consistency.

What ADHD coaching is not

Let’s make this clear, because it protects you and it protects the work.

ADHD coaching is not:

• therapy

• diagnosis

• treatment for mental health disorders

• crisis support

• a replacement for medical care

Many people do coaching alongside therapy, medication, or other clinical care. Coaching is often where the “okay, but what do I do on Tuesday?” part gets solved.

Who ADHD coaching is for

ADHD coaching can be a great fit if you:

• feel capable but inconsistent

• are exhausted by “always catching up”

• have good intentions and messy execution

• struggle with follow-through even when you care

• keep rebuilding systems every Monday

• are navigating a transition (new job, promotion, divorce, parenting, burnout recovery)

It’s also for high-performing adults who look “fine” on the outside — but internally feel like they’re running a full-time emergency management team.

What changes when coaching works

Progress usually looks like:

• fewer forgotten tasks and last-minute scrambles

• decisions that feel calmer and clearer

• better boundaries (and less resentment)

• routines that are flexible, not fragile

• more confidence because you have repeatable systems

And one of the biggest wins: you stop assuming your struggle means you’re broken.

You’re not broken. You’re under-supported.

The FastBraiin approach

In FastBraiin coaching, we focus on:

• simple systems that fit real life

• micro-steps that reduce resistance

• honest planning based on time, energy, and environment

• skills + identity (because shame kills consistency)

You don’t need a perfect routine. You need a reliable reset.

Try this today: the 3-part “next step” filter

When you feel stuck, ask:

1. What’s the next visible action? (not the whole project)

2. What would make it easier? (timer, body double, remove steps, reduce choices)

3. What does done look like? (one sentence)

Coaching is basically learning how to ask (and answer) those questions consistently.
