I highlight the importance of understanding dysregulation and its impact on the effectiveness of ADHD management tools (yes even using calendars can get better with regulation). Takeaways The band-aid approach offers quick fixes but lacks long-term effectiveness. Transformation requires internal work and awareness, not just external tools. Dysregulation can hinder the effectiveness of ADHD management tools. Information hoarding can lead to inaction and frustration. Effective ADHD management combines both external tools and internal transformation. Understanding the three types of regulation is crucial for managing ADHD. Nervous system regulation alone is not enough for lasting change. Transformation takes time and patience, not instant solutions. Connect with Jenna Instagram TikTok
