In special education there is the idea of “universal design.” This term (originally comes from achitecture) refers to when you do something for one group you help many more people. A common example is the curb cut. on a sidewalk. Originally, they were placed for wheel chairs but they helped elderly, baby carriages or even a person rolling a suitcase. I wonder if you could approach it as a coach that could help everyone with more efficient organization. I always hesitate bringing it up at work. People are very strange about ADHD because people think it is a ‘made up’ problem.
