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 Nothing Ever Feels Done With ADHD & How To Fix It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Description:
Presented by Understood.org
You approve the direction. Then change everything at the end.
Wednesday’s episode showed why ADHD planning creates late-stage corrections. This episode shows how to stop that pattern.
Skye and Robbie break down a system built around checkpoints, prototypes, and early feedback. The goal is not better briefs. The goal is catching problems when they’re still cheap to fix.
What We Cover:
- Why late feedback is built into ADHD planning
- The 24–48 hour check-in system
- Concept reviews before real execution starts
- Why midpoint sign-off reduces last-minute changes
- How to stop teams from losing confidence
