I’d like a small group with strict/well-defined meeting times that has a coach/conversation-conductor to keep topics on track. I feel like it would work really well if advice was given/received by others with ADHD, while having a leader do stuff like

  • make sure 1 person doesn’t dominate the conversation
  • keep meeting notes
  • call/text people who miss a meeting
  • follow up with people who said they were going to do something

But I’ve never really heard of such a system.

I’ve found at least two online services, but I don’t really know if they’re worth trying. I’m curious on your opinion and/or if any of you have tried something similar.

There’s “Study Hall” which I’m not sure is what I’m really looking for https://adult-study-hall-by-adhd-rewired.mn.co/sign_up?plan_id=230880

Then this site seems to have good coaching https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37252231

    Life.

    I mean that both as a joke, but also entirely literally. And I don’t mean this as a way to brush off your comment (I’ll explain) but there isn’t “an area”.

    But also it’s not a “need”. If it were a need I’d look for a therapist. I’ve been officially diagnosed for +15 years, but I’m high functioning (an Eagle Scout, PhD student, and I’m getting married this year). I’m looking for a coach because I know I could be doing better across the board; healthier, happier, better partner in relationships, more productive at school/reseach. I keep track of missteps and their reasons; in high school I was likely operating near the best of my potential, but right now I can tell there’s a sizeable gap.

    The other, subtle, part of my post is I want to be able to give advice in a small group setting. I’ve learned a lot of things that are worth sharing, and I feel advice works best when tailored to an individual situation.
