What is a habit? Are habits good for those with ADHD? Why are habits so hard to build if you have ADHD? Dr. Russell Barkley talks about the ADHD brain as being a two-level system – the automatic brain and the executive functioning brain. He articulates how the executive functioning brain must effortfully override the automatic brain. In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks about Dr. Barkley's concept and uses it as a context to help those with ADHD understand why habits are very helpful for those with ADHD but also why it is so hard to develop habits if you have ADHD. Jeff's insight and Dr. Barkley's model will help you understand what is at issue.
