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, AI, and the Future of Focus
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is redefining work, but for ADHD founders, the question isn’t whether to use it, it’s how.
In this episode, Skye sits down with Ryan Brazzell, entrepreneur, founder of Assistant Launch, and system/AI strategist who helps founders “bend time” using systems and executive support. Ryan has built and scaled multiple 7- and 8-figure companies by applying AI, systems thinking, and radical delegation.
Together they dig into how AI can support ADHD brains - reducing overwhelm, automating decision fatigue, and freeing up mental space - and where the danger lies in turning it into another distraction.
What we cover:
- Why ADHD brains are drawn to AI tools, and when they backfire
- How Ryan uses AI + systems to reclaim focus and execution
- Practical ways to delegate routine tasks to AI without losing control
- The subtle traps of veneer automation vs real system design
- What AI means for the future of work and focus in ADHD entrepreneurs
