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.

Why You Always Underestimate Time (Even When You Swear You Won’t)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Think something will take 15 minutes? Bet it takes 45.
You’re not lazy - you’ve got ADHD. And you’re probably struggling with time blindness.
In this episode, Skye and Sarah dive deep into three new studies on ADHD and time perception, breaking down the science, the symptoms, and the sneaky ways time blindness sabotages even high performers.
What we cover:
- The 3 time-based skills your brain may be missing
- Time blindness vs. working memory—what’s the real issue?
- The surprising benefit of visual timers (and what the monkey app got right)
- What the research says about the link between time and working memory
If you’ve ever said, “how is it 3pm already?” - this one’s for you.
