Men with ADHD 1.0 Skills Group
Men with ADHD 1.0 Skills Group
Build practical skills for the ADHD challenges that show up in everyday life.
You may know exactly what you need to do and still struggle to get started.
You may underestimate how long something will take, lose track of what you were doing, become distracted halfway through a task, or find yourself relying on urgency just to get things done.
And when these patterns keep happening, it can be easy to conclude:
“I just need to try harder.”
The Men with ADHD 1.0 Skills Group takes a different approach.
This 10-week group is designed to help men with ADHD better understand executive functioning and build practical skills through ADHD education, real-life application, strategies and tools that work, and connection with other people who understand the challenges.
The goal isn’t simply to learn more about ADHD.
It’s to begin understanding how ADHD affects your everyday life—and develop strategies you can actually use.
Understanding Executive Functioning in Everyday Life
Executive functioning is involved in many of the things we expect ourselves to simply be able to do.
Getting started.
Remembering what needs to happen.
Planning the steps.
Estimating time.
Staying focused.
Managing distractions.
Following through.
Shifting from one task to another.
When these processes are difficult, the result can sometimes look like procrastination, poor motivation, disorganization, or a lack of effort.
But knowing that you need to do something and being able to consistently make it happen aren’t necessarily the same thing.
The Men with ADHD 1.0 Skills Group provides a place to better understand these challenges while developing practical ways to approach them.

What We’ll Work On
Getting Started
“I know I need to start, but I just can’t.”
Getting started can be difficult even when you understand the importance of the task.
We’ll explore initiation and practical strategies that can help make the transition from knowing to doing more manageable.
Planning & Prioritizing
When there are multiple things competing for your attention, deciding what to do first can become a challenge of its own.
Skill building can help create more external structure around deciding what matters now, what can wait, and what the next step actually is.
Attention & Distraction
“When the task isn’t fun, I can’t start.”
ADHD doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t pay attention.
The challenge can involve directing and sustaining attention when something isn’t naturally interesting, urgent, novel, or engaging.
Understanding those patterns can help you begin developing strategies around them.
Time Awareness
“I thought this would only take 30–45 minutes, but then I spent hours on it.”
Difficulty estimating and experiencing time can affect deadlines, appointments, productivity, transitions, and everyday responsibilities.
We’ll explore strategies that can help make time more visible and easier to work with.
Organization & Follow-Through
Starting is one challenge.
Keeping track of everything and getting to the finish line can be another.
We’ll look at practical ways to support organization and follow-through rather than expecting yourself to keep everything in your head.
Real-Life Application
Knowing a strategy isn’t particularly useful if it doesn’t work in your actual life.
That’s why this group emphasizes real-life application.
The goal is to explore tools and strategies in the context of the situations where you’re actually experiencing difficulty.
ADHD Education
Understanding why something is difficult can change how you approach it.
ADHD education provides context for the patterns you may have spent years interpreting as personal shortcomings.
That understanding becomes a foundation for developing better strategies.
Connection With Other Men Who Understand
Sometimes one of the most useful realizations is simply:
“Other people experience this too.”
The group provides an opportunity to learn alongside other men who understand many of the challenges that can accompany ADHD.
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

The experiences Janet’s team hears from people with ADHD include statements like:
“I know I need to start, but I just can’t.”
“I just lack motivation.”
“I just need to try harder.”
“I have no sense of urgency.”
“I have to force my way through.”
“I was told I could do so much more if I just applied myself.”
“I always think I should be doing more.”
“Why is this so difficult for me?”
“I feel like no one understands my brain.”
“I know what I need to do, but I don’t know how or where to start.”
If some of these statements feel familiar, learning more about your executive functioning and developing practical strategies may provide a different way to approach those challenges.
Practical Skills. Real-Life Strategies.
This isn’t about creating a perfect routine or becoming someone you’re not.
It’s about better understanding how you function and developing strategies that can support you where things are difficult.
Sometimes that means changing how you begin a task.
Sometimes it means making information more visible.
Sometimes it means adding external structure.
And sometimes it means recognizing that trying harder isn’t necessarily the same thing as having the right tools.
The Men with ADHD 1.0 Skills Group creates a supportive environment to begin doing that work.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before asking for support.
