Body Doubling and Rubber Ducks for ADHD

October is both ADHD Awareness and National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) it can be overwhelming but ADHD doesn't have to be "scary"...

ADHD in the office doesn’t have to be SCARY!

Here are a couple of ideas to help work with your ADHD Brain in the office:

Body Doubling -

The idea behind Body Doubling with ADHD is to have someone else in the same room - or on the same ZOOM - to provide support. Like a zombie they aren’t saying much but their presence urges you onward helping you to stay focused and on task. The mere fact that you are being observed can motivate you to keep moving forward. As long as you stay one step ahead of the zombie body double, you'll be able to stay on track!

Rubber Ducks -

Did you know that a rubber duck can help with ADHD? The duck, or any object of your choosing sits quietly listening to your problem. Rather than providing ideas or feedback, a rubber duck provides a focus for your thoughts. By expressing your ideas out loud, you can stimulate various parts of your brain, helping you get unstuck and keeping you on track.

The official theme for NDEAM this year is : “Access to Good Jobs for All.”

Text reads : Body doubles. A horde of zombie outlines shuffle their way out of their graves, through a misty graveyard, under the eerie light of a full moon, with a chillingly detailed zombie leader watching over them.

A rubber duck with cold dead eyes and mouth wide in a quacking scream is chilling in front of a full moon while bats flutter and a spooky graveyard looms in the backdrop.
