ADHD Executive Function Tools

Track the daily presence of inattention symptoms to identify
where attention breaks down and when.

Where This Tool Helps

Inattention in ADHD shows up differently from distractibility — it’s less about what pulls you away and more about what you can’t hold onto. Conversations that slip through. Details that don’t register. Tasks that get started, then stalled, then silently abandoned. The impact accumulates in ways that are hard to see from the inside — until you look at a week’s worth of data and notice the pattern.

Executives with ADHD often compensate effectively in high-stakes, novel, or time-pressured situations. The inattention shows up most in the ordinary — routine check-ins, steady-state projects, administrative work that doesn’t generate enough urgency to activate focus. This tracker is designed to make that invisible pattern visible. Eight symptoms, seven days, one rating per day. The data doesn’t need to be perfect — it needs to be honest.

How to Use This Tracker

Rate at the end of each day. A 3 or higher means the symptom showed up enough to affect something — a conversation, a task, your ability to finish what you started.
Pay attention to the task-switching row. Excessive switching without completing is one of the symptoms most people undercount. If you moved between five things before finishing any of them, that counts.
Note your week context. High-volume meeting weeks vs. deep-work weeks will look very different. The tracker is more useful when you can explain the variance.
Bring it to your next coaching session. Your coach will help you identify which symptoms to address first and whether they cluster around specific activities, times of day, or energy levels.
