You do get that "finding the techniques that work for you" is like the whole value of the coach, right? You're standing at the end, and I'm assuming you've put in a lot of work to get where you are because the kinds of resources that would helped you weren't available.
There is such a gap of "people who have ADHD sharing the things that actually worked for them." One of the best strategies for me "task bracelets" I didn't get from my therapist but a random TikTok.
I don't really know if this service is the one to pull it off but I want something like it to exist.
You took the words out of my mouth! Many of our members (me included) have tried to adopt things others said worked for them, and it can get quite exhausting finding time after time that they don't work. There are 2 (of many things) that could be happening here: 1. The tool/tip wasn't the right one for you. 2. The tool/tip wasn't implemented in a way that maximized chance of success
Those 2 items above are what our coaches try to help with.
With 1., just picking up and trying something someone else is using can get exhausting. Our coaches help you dissect what the problem is, what sort of systems work well for you (in the past), what don't, and why, and then help you pick from a narrowed list to choose. For example, accountability works really well for me (body doubling) but another one of our members hates it because they are introverted and easily distracted by movements of others.
With 2., sometimes we pick up the right tool/tip but we don't implement it properly. We try it hastily for one day and then give up. Our coaches use behavioral change psychology to break down the steps, implement it into your life in the way that sticks, then keep you accountable to actually giving it your best shot.
