In episode 108, we chat with Justin Weinhardt to explore his recent research on ADHD in the workplace. Drawing from a multi-day study of employees with ADHD, they unpack how daily symptom fluctuations impact engagement—and how job crafting can serve as a powerful, science-backed strategy for managing attention and motivation at work.

Key insights include:

* Why ADHD symptoms vary day-to-day and how that affects work performance

* The surprising effectiveness of adding fun and variety to tasks

* Why reducing workload isn’t always the best solution

* How organizations can foster environments that support mental health disclosure

* What all employees can learn from ADHD coping strategies

Whether you’re a manager, researcher, or someone navigating ADHD at work, this episode offers practical tools and a fresh perspective on neurodiversity and workplace well-being.
