You can handle individual tasks all day. But the moment something becomes a project, everything slows down.
Research into ADHD executive functioning suggests the difference often comes down to planning demands, not motivation or intelligence.
In this episode, Skye and Robbie break down what these experiments reveal about ADHD and why complex projects require building a sequence before starting. That requirement can create real cognitive friction for many ADHD brains.
On Friday, we’ll look at the practical systems that reduce this planning load and make complex work easier to execute.

- Why ADHD often struggles more with projects than tasks
- What “tower task” planning experiments reveal about ADHD
- Why working memory and inhibition appear most consistently affected
