Guides
All our guides
Practical guides in plain language. Read about ADHD, neurodiversity at work and how to use Humble in your role. The Humble team wrote them, and our team includes people with ADHD.
ADHD
What attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) does to attention and memory, and which tools and habits help. For anyone with ADHD, or anyone who wants to understand it.
ADHD, by people with ADHD
A practical guide to ADHD. It covers working memory, starting tasks, time blindness, overwhelm, real uses of AI and reasonable adjustments at work.
Why do I forget everything with ADHD?
ADHD affects working memory, not how smart you are or how hard you try. Learn why this makes you forget tasks, conversations and where things are.
Memory tools for ADHD: what actually helps
Practical tools and habits for ADHD memory. Capture ideas, remember to act, find things again and remember conversations.
How to remember what people tell you (when you have ADHD)
Why you forget names, details and promises after you meet someone. What is worth a note, and how to find it again next time.
Scheduling meetings with ADHD
Why booking a time is so hard, the settings that protect your energy, and free booking tools that help. With a step-by-step Google Calendar setup.

Start here. See a short summary of the five guides below, and find the one for you.

Using Humble by role
Practical guides to doing your role with Humble. Each one is written for the job you do, not for everyone at once. We will add more over time.
For chiefs of staff
Organise yourself, your exec and the leadership team in one place. You do not have to be the only person who knows "what's happening".
For executive and personal assistants
Link diaries, meeting context, delegated work and handovers. Then less of your day depends on what you can remember.
For neurodivergent founders
Link your direction, people, decisions and follow-through. Use a system built for how you think.
For event managers
Keep each event, its vendors and its guests in one place. Then the whole team knows what is done and what is still to do.
For AI consultants
Keeping every client, AI chat, process and prompt library in one place, so you can find your work again and hand it over well.
For investors and VC associates
Keeping every founder, introduction and deal connected, so you know who you met, who introduced you and what comes next.
For product and engineering managers
Seeing your tickets, reviews and the whole team’s progress in one place, so you spend less time asking for updates.
For account managers and customer success
Seeing your CRM on each client’s website, the time each client takes and one shared view for your team and partners.
