Time, Tasks, and ADHD: Mastering Prospective Memory for Daily Life March 3rd 8 - 9:15 PM EST. Daniella Karidi

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there? That moment is a lapse in prospective memory—our ability to recall future tasks, like taking medication or keeping appointments. For those with ADHD, struggles with prospective memory can have a major impact on daily life.

In this session, we'll dive into the two key types of prospective memory: event-based tasks (e.g., withdrawing cash from an ATM) and time-based tasks (e.g., remembering a Zoom call at 4 PM), with a focus on why time-based tasks pose a greater challenge for individuals with ADHD. We’ll also discuss factors that affect prospective memory, such as aging and health and explore how technology can offer support.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into prospective memory in ADHD, along with practical tools to manage these difficulties—enhancing productivity, executive function, and overall well-being.
