ADHD Executive Function Tools

Track the daily intensity of hyperactivity symptoms to identify
patterns in physical restlessness and internal urgency.

Where This Tool Helps

Hyperactivity in adults looks different than it does in children. The obvious physical restlessness is still there — the fidgeting, the need to move, the difficulty sitting through long meetings — but it often manifests as internal urgency as much as external motion. A sense of pressure to be doing something. Difficulty tolerating stillness. Talking faster or more than the situation calls for.

For executives, this can be a performance asset in some contexts and a liability in others. High-energy rooms benefit from it; slow, deliberate processes don’t. The tracker below helps you see where the hyperactivity activation shows up most often across the week and at what intensity. Six symptoms is a short list — this tracker takes under a minute per day. The value isn’t in the individual days; it’s in the weekly shape of the data.

How to Use This Tracker

Rate each symptom based on the whole day. A 4 or 5 means the symptom was noticeably present and likely affected how you showed up in at least one interaction or meeting.
Don’t self-edit. If you talked over people three times in one meeting, that’s a 4 or 5 for “excessive talking,” regardless of whether it was well-received.
Note high-stimulation days separately. Back-to-back meetings, travel, or high-stress days amplify hyperactivity symptoms. The context helps distinguish a pattern from a one-off.
Use the data in session. Hyperactivity symptoms often cluster in specific situations. Your coach can help identify those triggers and build strategies around them.
