  • Great for high school students!

    The Learn and Work Smarter podcast has been a very helpful resource in working with my high school students on executive functioning skills. The podcast paired with her blog posts are filled with content ideas to share in my Learning Support classroom! The information is also valuable to working adults to reflect on your executive functioning skills as well.

  • So much good info!!!

    Katie’s podcasts are invaluable for helping me be more efficient! She not only gives great tips but also explains why her methods work. I’ve found so much of the information to be so useful, and so have my two daughters, who are in middle school (grades 6 and 8). I recommend Katie’s podcast to literally everyone, especially other moms trying to help their children with studying or staying organized (or trying to do so themselves!). She is a master of maximizing executive function skills and her ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

120. Note-Taking During Phone Calls, ADHD Accommodations at Work and School, and Supporting College Students (Q&A)
Q: What advice do you have about accommodations in the workplace or school for someone with ADHD who is entering grad school or a new job?
acknowledge the legal rights to reasonable accommodations, discuss with HR or student services, and bring prior documentation (IEP/504/educational evaluations). For grad school, start with in-person meetings to present needs and past supports, and tailor accommodations to what has proven effective previously while considering what may or may not work in the new environment.
120. Note-Taking During Phone Calls, ADHD Accommodations at Work and School, and Supporting College Students (Q&A)
Q: How can I help a college student who is struggling, based on your experience with parents and students?
Direct listeners to a comprehensive free parent training and encourage parents to leverage school resources and in-person meetings. Emphasize using structured guidance, recognizing signs of overwhelm, and applying proven strategies at home and in school settings.
120. Note-Taking During Phone Calls, ADHD Accommodations at Work and School, and Supporting College Students (Q&A)
Q: What's the best way to take notes during phone calls so I don't miss what the prospect is saying while I'm writing things down?
Focus on strategy over transcription: prepare a simple template with key questions, use bullet points and fragments to capture the gist, and mark important points with boxes or stars. If needed, you can ask the speaker to repeat something once, then rely on post-call clarification to fill in gaps and move critical items into a task system.
107. Simplifying Multi-Client Task Management and Managing Afternoon Energy Slumps (Q&A)
Q: How should a college student address afternoon focus crashes when mornings are fine but afternoons fade?
Challenge the narrative that afternoons are doomed by testing a week-long is-this-true experiment, optimize lunch and movement, adjust sleep if needed, and schedule high-demand work for mornings while reserving afternoons for lighter tasks; use note-taking, active participation, and front-row seating to stay engaged, while gradually shifting routine based on data.
107. Simplifying Multi-Client Task Management and Managing Afternoon Energy Slumps (Q&A)
Q: What is the minimum viable system to stay on top of everything without drowning in admin work when managing three clients with different systems?
A single, centralized task management system where all projects and deadlines live, a simple communication tracker for client preferences and interactions, and a scheduled routine to process updates from client systems into your own system. Client tools are treated as information sources, not as the primary workflow; set boundaries around check-ins to maintain control.
