Can’t make yourself start? Turn the right dial.

The ADHD Motivation Playbook is free and 13 pages long. It helps you find the part of your motivation that’s stuck, and gives you 24 practical ways to fix it.

Made by Rav, business psychologist and behavioural scientist
  • A 30-second check to find your stuck dial
  • 24 practical fixes, six for each dial
  • Four tools you can type straight into

Sound familiar?

  • You know exactly what to do, and you still can’t make yourself start.
  • You only really get going the night before a deadline.
  • You’ve tried planners, apps and pure willpower, and none of them stuck.
  • You start strong, then lose interest halfway through.

None of that makes you lazy.

It means one part of your motivation is out of balance. The playbook shows you which part, and gives you a simple way to change it.

Four dials decide whether you start

Turn the first two up and the last two down, and starting gets easier. You only need to fix the one that’s stuck.

Expectancy

“Can I actually do this?”

Turn it up

Value

“Is this worth it to me?”

Turn it up

Impulsiveness

“What else is calling me?”

Turn it down

Delay

“When do I get something out of this?”

Turn it down

Based on psychologist Piers Steel’s motivation equation, from his analysis of 691 research findings on why people put things off.
