    The ADHD Skills Lab

    Things are starting to fall through the cracks. 

    Not because you’re not trying, but because the systems everyone recommends weren’t built for a brain like yours.

    The ADHD Skills Lab is for business owners with ADHD whose responsibilities have grown past simple solutions. Each week, Skye Waterson and guests share research-backed strategies and real-world systems to help you reduce the chaos, make consistent progress, and stop reinventing the wheel every time life gets complex.

    No “just use a planner.” No productivity hacks that last a week. Just honest, practical support from someone who has spent years researching, testing, and refining what actually works for adult ADHD.

    Skye is the founder of Unconventional Organisation, a former academic diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, and the author of over 50 articles read by more than 250,000 people worldwide. She has worked with senior leaders, business owners, academics, and professionals navigating ADHD in high-responsibility roles, and was invited to share her research with both the Australian and New Zealand Government.

    ADHD in the Creative Industry: Insights from Tevis Houston Dec 02, 2024
    Show notes

    In this episode of The ADHD Skills Lab, we sit down with Tevis Houston, the mind behind Friends Everywhere, a studio that partners with major brands like Levi's and Vans. We dive into the impact of late diagnosis, the power of ADHD strengths in the creative industry, and the importance of building supportive communities.
    Since we are so close to the holidays, I have taken some of the core ADHD strategies Tevis discusses and dressed them up for the holidays! You will find this list below!
    Thanks for being here! Until next time,
    Sarah Russell (Podcast Producer)
    Here is a list of 3 tips to survive this holiday season with ADHD:
    1. Leverage Your Natural Strengths

    • The Tip: Tevis mentions her ability to "pivot quickly" is a benefit in her creative work.
    • The Action: Over this next month, embrace multitasking in ways that fuel you—like decorating while listening to festive music or brainstorming gift ideas while cooking.

    2. Prioritize Breaks to Rest and Reset

    • The Tip: Tevis shared how taking breaks is her way to “reset.”
    • The Action: Schedule short breaks throughout the day during the holiday rush. Use them to step outside, do a quick breathing exercise, or enjoy a cup of tea.

    3. Sleep on Big Decisions

    • The Tip: Tevis recommends “sleeping on it”.
    • The Action: Apply this to holiday spending or major planning choices!!! Write down ideas and revisit them after a good night’s sleep.
