ADHD at Work

You can see the task. You understand why it matters. You may even know how to do it. Yet starting, organizing, or returning to it can consume more energy than the work itself.

ADHD at Work is a practical, nonjudgmental guide for adults with ADHD and for anyone who recognizes ADHD-like friction in the workday. Instead of asking you to remember more, try harder, or build a perfect routine, Mara Linden shows you how to move the work out of your head and into a system you can see and use.

You will learn how to: - Name a point of friction without turning it into a character flaw - Turn a vague project into one visible next action - Give time clearer starts, stops, and transitions - Arrange physical and digital workspaces to support return - Leave meetings with decisions and actions you can find - Connect a tiny start to a realistic continuation plan - Protect focus while remaining reliably reachable - Close, delegate, schedule, or deliberately drop unfinished commitments - Ask a manager or team for a specific working experiment - Repair a missed deadline without hiding or overpromising - Build a workday that can survive interruption - Keep your system small enough to trust

Every chapter ends with prompts, key takeaways, and one small step. Use the chapter that matches today's friction; you do not have to rebuild your whole work life at once.
