ADHD Task Techniques

  • Embodied tasking — approach tasks through the body, not just the mind
  • Externalise direction — lower cognitive load by making the next step physically visible (sticky note, open tab, object in path)
  • Task staging — make the environment more approachable before starting; also called task costuming: set the scene like a ritual
  • Task costing — reframe the task with an identity: “pretend you’re a world-famous violinist preparing to play”
  • INCUP — (research what this stands for; captured as an ADHD productivity framework)
  • When you avoid a task: ask “how can I make this more enjoyable?”
