Maintaining routines and habits can be a significant challenge with ADHD. Some of these offer team-based collaboration, useful for coach/client, family members, or other groups. Organizing, prioritizing, estimating time, and addressing procrastination can be assisted by apps such as Evernote, Trello, Asana, Slack, Todoist. The sections below provide an overview of select apps that address each of the six core clusters of EFs identified by ADHD experts ( Brown, 2020 ). While there is no one specific technology for managing ADHD-related challenges, using varied apps to support common EF challenges may make life easier for individuals with ADHD. Having trouble with EFs can set individuals with ADHD up for a lot of difficulty at home, school, work, and in daily life. These functions continuously work together, coordinating across the “superhighway” of the brain, to help us accomplish tasks and work towards goals. Most individuals with ADHD face challenges with executive functions (EFs) - planning, organizing, focusing, shifting attention, self-regulating, solving problems, and other mental functions. While commonly thought of as a condition that only affects children or adolescents, ADHD actually impacts individuals across the age spectrum, from childhood through adulthood. The framework makes possible the network, but only the active relationship between nodes in the framework is the network.Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a neuropsychological disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and dysregulation ( NIH, 2020 ). The framework represents the ideal or theory of the network, but it is not itself the network. Perhaps frameworks are the prepared, ordered nodes ready for activation. Until that moment, it represented only a collection of nodes arranged in a framework. Once those went live, the network activated. As for the small office network I built and managed, it remained a collection of wires placed in sequences until I powered up the hardware router and the cable modem. My active searching, cataloging, filing, opening, editing, closing, even deleting files is what turns the collection of nodes into a network. Memory devices have little meaning, even if they contain most of my files, if I am not connecting to them to retrieve and store documents. The lines connecting nodes represent the activation of the network, the active relationship between nodes. What I realized about each of these networks is that, until there is activity in the network, these are merely collections of nodes.

(NB: Popplet embedding is not working correctly on updated WordPress platforms, so I’ve posted a linked screen capture instead.) Differentiation activates the network.Īs part of last week’s asynchronous activities, I created two Popplet mindmaps: one representing a hybrid LAN/wifi network I developed and managed for a small office, the other representing the cloud and physical storage spaces I use for files. The discovery of those differences is what brings them into relationship with one another. Statements or the discourses they contain remain undescribed until they are brought into relationship with one another and the differences are found among them. Biesecker uses Derrida to suggest a similar concept.
Foucault makes this clear when he discusses ways in which statements can be described in terms of one another-in terms of their differences. An inactive network is a collection of nodes without relations among them. The significance is that a network, however created and whatever its nodes and the nature of the relations among those nodes, must be activated. Obviously, one can’t have a network without nodes (at least I think that’s obvious-I may prove myself wrong yet), but the connections between the nodes are what activate the network. I’m beginning to think the answer is connections more than nodes. In my initial mindmap I asked whether networks were made up of nodes or connections.
There’s more at work than mere interest or attraction.
