Is Cognitive Ergonomics the Missing Link in ADHD Motivation?

ADHD-ish Podcast with Diann WingertJeff Copper appears on the ADHD-ish Podcast with host Diann Wingert. In this eye-opening interview, ADHD coach Jeff unpacks Cognitive Ergonomics (the often-missed link in understanding ADHD motivation). What if the issue isn’t laziness or lack of willpower, but the way the brain processes effort? Jeff explains why many people with ADHD can solve problems simply by saying them out loud, “downloading” their thoughts even if no one responds. That simple act reduces cognitive load and frees up executive function. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, well into your ADHD self-awareness journey, or feeling like you’ve “tried everything,” this conversation offers a radically practical lens for understanding both your struggles and your strengths. If you love intellectual deep-dives and want to explore what’s really happening under the hood, this episode will change how you think about motivation and what actually makes it work. LISTEN NOW!
