Executive Dysfuntion - Managing Everyday Overstimulation and Emotional Regulation
If you work in User Experience (UX) you know the overwhelming emotions associated with managing creative projects of ambiguity.
The good news is that it's not a discipline or a "try harder" problem - it's a neuroscience problem.
Executive dysfunction disrupts your brain’s ability to control thoughts, emotions and behavior. It’s common with conditions like ADHD.
Like...it's literally out of your control. Your brain is wired different (and that's okay).
In this episode we deep dive into the ADHD brain, Executive dysfunction, and why you'd rather finally fold all your laundry rather than make that phone call you've needed to for the last two weeks.
What is this?
We are two UX Researchers with 20+ years combined experience, with one of us also being certified ADHD coach that specializes in working with tech professionals.
