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.

If Accounting Makes Your ADHD Brain Shut Down, Listen to This (with Joe Dunaway)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If the word accounting makes your attention disappear, this episode is for you.
Skye sits down with Joe Dunaway - founder of Vici Financial, accountant, business owner, and ADHDer - to talk about why so many ADHD entrepreneurs avoid their numbers, and how to understand them without overcomplicating things or forcing yourself into systems you won’t maintain.
This isn’t about becoming good at accounting.
It’s about knowing enough to make decisions, reduce background stress, and stop guessing about your business.
We cover:
- Why accounting causes shutdown for ADHD brains
- The real cost of avoiding your numbers
- The fastest way finances get messy (and how to stop it)
- How to separate signal from noise in your financials
- When numbers actually become useful instead of overwhelming
If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll look at it later” — this conversation will help you finally look, without spiraling.
