The ADHD Skills Lab
Navigate ADHD in real life, especially when things get complex.
The ADHD Skills Lab shares research-backed strategies, real-world systems, and honest conversations to help you stay focused, make progress, and reduce chaos as responsibilities grow.|
Hosted by Unconventional Organisation founder Skye Waterson, the show blends ADHD research, expert interviews, listener questions, and practical tools for adults who want support that actually works, not generic productivity advice.
Skye is a former academic turned coach and researcher who was diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD. After experiencing firsthand how poorly traditional strategies translated to real adult responsibilities, she began developing and testing research-based, ADHD-aware systems. She has written over 50 articles read by more than 250,000 people worldwide and now focuses on translating research into strategies adults can actually use.
In 2022, Skye was invited to share her work with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service. Since then, she has supported late-diagnosed professionals, including academics, senior leaders, and business owners, navigating increasing complexity. Unconventional Organisation was built to meet a gap Skye experienced herself: practical, personalized ADHD support for adults whose lives and work no longer fit simple solutions.

Why does time blindness show up so early in life?
Welcome to another episode in our Research Recap series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.
In this episode, Skye and Will unpack a study of preschoolers in Hong Kong, showing how time perception, working memory, and delay aversion already affect early academic skills.
What we cover:
- Why ADHD symptoms in preschoolers are hard to spot but still matter
- Why time perception was the newest and most revealing test
- What frustration tasks reveal about emotional regulation
- How working memory predicts later academic success
- How these findings could shape future ADHD support
