How Building an App led to an ADHD Diagnosis- with Eugene Yao

The ADHD Skills Lab

Hello, and welcome back to the ADHD Skills Lab!

This week, I'm thrilled to share a conversation Skye had with Eugene Yao, the innovative mind behind Forget.work, a browser application designed to enhance time management and support working memory. (Producer Note: I'm currently using it as I draft this, and it's an amazing visual on-screen timer!)

Eugene opens up about his journey to an ADHD diagnosis, sparked by the challenges and revelations encountered while building his app. Join us as we delve into the habits and practices he has adopted to navigate life as an entrepreneur with ADHD.

Thanks for being here!

Sarah (Podcast Producer)


ADHD Skills Discussed:

  • The benefits of a meditation and workout practice on sustained focus and energy
  • The role and toll of emotional self-regulation on day to day life
  • How slow growth leads to sustained rewards

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
