You can solve the hardest problem in the room and still get treated like you’re bad at your job after forgetting to answer one email.

Many workplaces are not measuring how well you do your job. They’re measuring how well you perform looking organized.

In Episode 223 of The ADHD CEO Podcast, Alyece Smith breaks down what ADHD at work can actually look like, including:

• Why working memory can drop the next step after a meeting
• How executive dysfunction affects starting, planning, and switching tasks
• What RSD and rejection sensitivity can look like at work
• Why vague feedback creates shame instead of change
• How productivity theater steals energy from meaningful work
• Why ADHD burnout can hide behind praise and strong performance
• What managers and ADHD professionals can do differently

ADHD does not erase responsibility. It changes what a responsible plan may need to include.

Your system should catch what your brain drops, make the next action visible, and help you return after an interruption.
