About ME

Hi, I’m James Dougherty, but you can call me Jimmy D. After spending over 40 years undiagnosed with ADHD, I’ve come to realize how much it shaped my life and career. I’ve dealt with the challenges of focus, productivity, and mental exhaustion, but now I’m on a journey to manage it better — and I want to share what I’ve learned with young professionals starting to navigate the workplace and those with the start of their careers on the horizon. From relatable stories and practical advice to a bit of humor about the chaos and mistakes, I’m here to help others with ADHD thrive in their professional lives, because with the right approach, we can all grow and laugh together.

Meet Sensei Overthink—the comically oversized, self-doubt-slinging sparring partner who’s been living rent-free in your head. This short story dives headfirst into the chaos of ADHD, overthinking, and emotional outbursts, transforming what feels like a never-ending mental battle into a dojo of self-discovery.Packed with humor and relatability, this story offers playful strategies for tackling the challenges of ADHD—like handling criticism without spiraling, calming your brain when it’s on overdrive, and outsmarting that pesky inner voice that loves to sow seeds of self-doubt. Whether your noodle noodles like a ninja or a tornado, this book helps you find focus, laugh at yourself, and embrace your inner chaos like a pro.It’s not about defeating Sensei Overthink—it’s about learning to spar, grow, and find your chill along the way.Sensei Overthink is a proof of concept for a larger series aimed at middle-grade and young adult readers with ADHD. The goal is to create fun, relatable stories that don’t just entertain but also offer practical tools for tackling the everyday challenges of ADHD—like handling overthinking, managing emotions, and embracing their unique way of seeing the world. Through humor, creativity, and a touch of absurdity, this series is designed to help readers feel seen, understood, and empowered to turn their chaos into a superpower.
