Unconventional Organisation with Skye Rapson

William Curb

Hey team, today I’m walking with Skye Rapson of Unconventional Organisation, a New Zealand-based coaching group that specializes in online coaching. They focus on providing research-backed and strengths-based ADHD support to help you get unstuck in your life.

In our conversation, we cover a lot of different areas, including one that I’ve really been interested in recently, systems. We get into what systems are and how important it is to tailor these systems to our own ADHD and then how we can even do that.

William Curb

In this week’s episode we’re going to be diving into a listener question about cleaning and specifically about doom boxes - and if you don’t know what those are don’t worry you’ll find out soon enough... and I’m sure you probably already have some around that house.

All right everyone, we've got another listener Q&A episode coming your way today with questions looking at ways we can declutter our phones, re-establishing your routines when life is in flux, and how to recover after taking on a heavier workload.

Digital Declutter: Tabs, Tabs, And more Tabs

Digital Declutter: Tabs, Tabs, And more Tabs

William Curb

Did you think I was all done with tabs last week... well I wasn't because there's actually a ton we can still talk about. Tabs are one of those small things in our life that can have a fairly outsized impact. Don't think so? Well keep listening to find out why.

Today we're going to be talking about how tabs can literally change the way our brain works, some ways we can cull having all those tabs open and then talk a bit about those precursors to tabs... bookmarks.

Digital Declutter: Too Many Tabs

Digital Declutter: Too Many Tabs

William Curb

Clearly, a lot of people use their browsers in a lot of different ways. Now one thing that was fairly apparent to me is that my more neurodiverse friends tended to be those people who had the most tabs open, although to be clear having too many tabs open isn't just a neurodiverse condition, anyone can easily find themselves overwhelmed by tabs.

Today we're going to be looking at why we tend to have so many tabs open and then some of the ways we can work on reducing that number.

Decluttering your Digital Life

Decluttering your Digital Life

William Curb

Digital clutter is just all that stuff that builds upon our devices. It can have a real effect on our mental health and is something to be especially aware of with ADHD because it can create a lot of distractions.

Masquerading As Adults

Masquerading As Adults

William Curb

#Adulting

Now there's something a lot of us can relate to - or relate to the idea that adulting is something we sometimes do, but being an adult is not something we are.

ADHD can make us feel like we're not really adults.

In today’s episode, we're going to be exploring those feelings of not being an adult and how that interacts with our ADHD.

On The Razors Edge

On The Razors Edge

William Curb

I imagine that a lot of you have heard of the famous razor before, which states that: plurality should not be posited without necessity. Now I'm sure that's perfectly clear for most of you, but for my benefit I'm going to do a bit of unpacking on that phrase, cause plurality should not be posited without necessity seems a bit dense to me.

Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer

Take a Picture, It'll Last Longer

William Curb

One of the tools that I most often use is the camera on my phone. Today we're going to be learning just how taking pictures can affect our memories, what things we can turn from physical to digital with pictures, and how we can use photos to assist with cleaning.

How To Create More Effective Reminders

How To Create More Effective Reminders

William Curb

When you've got ADHD making reminders is a given. There's just too much going on in any one given day for me to keep track of it all and without reminders I know I'm going to drop the ball somewhere. I've got reminders for big things like when I need to leave to pick up my kids from school and little things like having a cup of tea in the evening but not too close to bedtime.

Today we're going to be exploring the ways that we can make better reminders so that we're actually following through on them. We'll be looking at what we're creating reminders for. How and when we are getting those reminders and also look at how we are creating our system of reminders.

How to Make your Smart Phone ADHD Friendly (Part 2)

How to Make your Smart Phone ADHD Friendly (Part 2)

William Curb

A few weeks ago I got a ping on my phone reminding me to take our trash bins out to the curb for pick up the next morning. As I was wheeling the bin out, I thought about how funny it was that I rarely miss a trash day, but that's only because I have reminders in my phone and calendar.

How to Make your Smart Phone ADHD Friendly (Part 1)

How to Make your Smart Phone ADHD Friendly (Part 1)

William Curb

ADHD makes it really easy for us to get off track so we want to be making sure that we're not letting our phones dictate our next actions. Through trial and error phone designers have been making it harder and harder for us to put down our phone. Since we have ADHD this means that it is almost too easy for us to get distracted when we pop open our phone to just check the time.
