Why can you plan your day perfectly, then forget everything the second something stressful happens?

Welcome to the next episode in our Research Recaps series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.

In this episode, Skye and Will explore the science behind hot and cold executive functions, and what they mean for how ADHD brains make decisions, remember tasks, and stay calm under pressure.

We also break down a fascinating (but early-stage) study using brain stimulation to improve executive function in ADHD, and why your brain might work very differently depending on your emotional state.

What we cover:

  • What “hot” and “cold” executive functions really mean, and why they matter
  • Why you forget your keys more often when you’re running late
  • The surprising way emotion hijacks logic in ADHD decision-making
  • A look at brain stimulation research, and why it’s not ready for prime time
  • How emotional states affect strategy use, productivity, and self-control
