Once I Get Started: Motivational Strategies for Adult ADHD
J. Russell Ramsay, Ph.D., ABPP
September 15, 2026
Adult ADHD is increasingly understood as a performance problem, an intention deficit that makes it difficult to start and follow through on plans despite the desire to do so. This session will focus on strategies drawn from cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) adapted for adult ADHD designed to generate motivation, define plans in doable ways, and increase implementation of various intentions and endeavors related to various duties and responsibilities as well as those that promote overall well-being and fulfillment. As part of this process, the session will address the role of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship factors that may interfere with follow-through and how each of these factors can be refashioned to promote follow-through on intentions and seeing them through to completion.
Dr. Russell Ramsay is a licensed psychologist specializing in the assessment and psychosocial treatment of adult ADHD. Before retiring from the University of Pennsylvania to launch his solo virtual practice in 2023, he was professor of clinical psychology in psychiatry and co-founder and co-director of PENN’s Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program, one of the first such specialty programs.
Dr. Ramsay has authored many peer-reviewed professional and scientific articles, research abstracts, and book chapters. He is author of six books related to various aspects of adult ADHD, including his most recent, Once I Get Started: The Adult ADHD Program for Turning Your Intentions into Actions (2026, Avery/Penguin Random House). His self-help guidebook, The Adult ADHD Tool Kit, has been translated to Spanish, French, Korean, Chinese, and is in the process of being translated into German and Russian.
