You Are Not Alone

Join us on Thursday. April 18th for New Tech's ADHD OASIS Meetup: Staying Motivated and Accountable

Navigating the challenges of ADHD and motivation can sometimes feel like a struggle, even with a daily planner in hand. Tasks that seem mundane or repetitive can be especially daunting for adults with ADHD, as traditional motivation techniques may not always hit the mark. While the tendency to rely on urgent deadlines is common, there's hope in experimenting with new approaches and finding resources tailored to individual needs. Understanding that ADHD isn't simply a matter of willpower, but rather a complex brain chemistry can alleviate some of the frustration in managing motivation and tasks effectively.

Join us for New Tech Northwest's ADHD OASIS Meetup. This virtual event will combine community and coaching to support you in building supportive systems for managing your neurodiverse brain. Discover how to decrease your neurodiverse challenges while building relationships with fellow ADHDers and neurodiverse peers who are on similar journeys.

You can attend these virtual Meetups on the third Thursday of every month. The more Meetups you attend, the more peer connections you'll make with other professionals who have neurodiverse brains like you. Instead of being lonely in your experience, come laugh, learn, and connect with your community.

During the Meetups we'll share struggles as well as systems and strategies to overcome your executive functioning and working memory challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, miscommunication, interrupting, inattentiveness, stress, distractibility, procrastination, paperwork fails, imposter syndrome, having to mask your neurodiversity at work, and weak organization skills. Welcome!
