procrastination and motivation strategies for students with ADHD

Stop Procrastination and Get it Done

Overcoming procrastination is not an easy task; at Coaching with Nesta, I understand the unique challenges that college and university students with ADHD face. Managing deadlines and staying focused in class to handling the pressure of assignments and exams, ADHD can create significant hurdles. My student coaching services are designed to empower students to navigate these challenges with personalised strategies that conquer procrastination,  improve focus, get a handle on time management, and find better emotional regulation. Through a supportive and structured coaching approach, I help students build the skills they need to thrive academically and personally.

By working with students, I help them develop essential strengths that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. One of the key strengths in stopping procrastination is improved time management. With tailored strategies, students learn to break down tasks, set realistic goals, and stay organised, reducing procrastination and meeting deadlines with confidence. Additionally, through coaching, students enhance their emotional regulation, which is crucial for managing stress and frustration in high-pressure academic environments. They gain the tools to handle setbacks and challenges in a calm and focused way, allowing them to stay motivated and positive.

Coaching also helps students improve their focus and clarity, enabling them to stay on track with their studies and reduce distractions. With practices like mindful scheduling and structured routines, they develop the ability to concentrate on their coursework and increase productivity. Finally, coaching boosts self-awareness and confidence. Students gain a deeper understanding of their strengths and challenges, helping them leverage their unique qualities to succeed. This clarity boosts their self-confidence, empowering them to navigate their academic journey with purpose, resilience, and determination.

Building Student Confidence & Success

At Coaching with Nesta, I know that strong, supportive relationships are essential to academic success. My coaching services are designed to help students build meaningful connections with peers, professors, and academic advisors. Through personalised strategies, I guide students in developing effective communication skills, fostering teamwork, and navigating social challenges that can arise in the university setting. By strengthening their interpersonal skills and aligning their actions with their values, students can create a positive academic experience and cultivate lasting professional relationships.

By developing strong time management and emotional regulation techniques, students can handle stress and anxiety more effectively, creating room for academic success and social engagement. Additionally, I help students maintain focus and clarity while balancing their studies with extracurricular activities. These skills enable them to stay on top of their academic responsibilities while building meaningful connections with those around them. Ultimately, coaching empowers students to develop a fulfilling, balanced academic life and navigate the complexities of university life with confidence and resilience.

ADHD Task & Time Management Strategies

Through ADHD coaching, students can develop essential strengths that will help them not only succeed academically but also thrive in their personal and professional lives. One key strength is improved time management, where students learn to structure their study schedules, set priorities, and avoid procrastination. This allows them to meet deadlines, stay organised, and balance academic responsibilities with social and extracurricular activities. Additionally, enhanced emotional regulation helps students manage the stress and pressure of university life, enabling them to handle difficult situations with composure and resilience. With coaching, students gain the tools to stay calm and focused, even in high-pressure moments.

Coaching also helps students develop stronger focus and clarity, enabling them to minimize distractions and stay on track with their coursework. By adopting personalised strategies like creating a distraction-free study environment and using focus-enhancing techniques, students improve their productivity and academic performance. Lastly, coaching helps students cultivate self-awareness and confidence. As they learn more about their strengths and challenges, they can better navigate their academic journey with a clearer sense of direction. This increased self-awareness boosts their confidence, making it easier to tackle new challenges, ask for help when needed, and communicate effectively with professors and peers.

Frequently asked questions

How does the coaching take place?

We meet over a zoom call or if you prefer a phone call instead, that too is fine. Some people find they are shy in the beginning, so a phone call is best. As their confidence grows and they are happy to speak face to face, we then can move onto a zoom call. Others just find that the phone or zoom is much more convenient for them, we are happy to meet you either way!

Is coaching like therapy or counselling?

Coaching is a collaborative process between the coach and the client, with the aim of helping the client maximise their potential and lead a more fulfilling life. It’s important to note that coaching is not a substitute for therapy or counselling, and individuals with serious mental health issues may be referred to a mental health professional for appropriate treatment.
