ADHD

I was asked this question three times in one week recently. So, I decided to take the opportunity to sit down, reflect, and really define what exactly it was that made an ADHD-focused virtual assistant different (not better) from a regular neurotypical-focused virtual assistant. Why should someone living with ADHD feel that they’re getting anything different with an ADHD VA than they would with someone whose focus has nothing to do with ADHD? I mean, they’re both skilled individuals – but is that enough?

If you’re reading this particular blog, I’m sure you’ve asked yourself, “How am I going to get all this work done?” on more than one occasion. Believe it or not, there’s a better question you could be asking yourself, and that is, “How is all the work I’m responsible for completing going to get done?” Asking the question this way allows you to consider more options, including delegating, when thinking about how to accomplish everything that needs to get done. It doesn’t have to all be done by you and you alone. However, delegating doesn’t often come naturally for those with ADHD.
