Hiawatha Public Library

Forrest Kramer Room 103.1

Feeling overwhelmed, struggling to stay organized, or having trouble keeping up with everyday demands? Join us for a supportive, practical workshop.

We will explore the connection between ADHD, executive functioning, and sustainable capacity.

Together, we'll explore strategies to better manage daily responsibilities, navigate emotional overwhelm, and create routines and systems that work with your brain, your needs, and your real-life capacity.

In this workshop, you'll learn how to:

* Apply practical executive functioning strategies to everyday life.
* Strengthen emotional regulation and manage feelings of overwhelm.
* Develop sustainable systems, routines, and habits that support your needs.
* Work with your capacity rather than constantly pushing beyond it.

The goal isn't to do more or be perfect. It's to find practical ways to make everyday life feel more manageable, balanced, and sustainable.

Come ready to learn, reflect, and discover strategies you can put into practice right away!
