Designing Your Space for Focus
An environmental audit for reducing ADHD friction at home and work
Environmental modification is one of the most evidence-based and underused ADHD interventions (Knouse & Safren, 2010). The principle is simple: rather than fighting an under-supported environment with willpower, design the environment to support the brain you have. Every check below represents a small reduction in friction. Use this audit twice — once for your primary work space, once for home — and prioritize the items you can change in the next week.
