Grad school (and college) is supposed to be the place where everything comes together — your talents, your goals, your future.
But instead, it feels like you’re spinning plates: classes, research, deadlines, emails, maybe even work or family responsibilities.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to:
- Stay on top of deadlines
- Break down big projects into doable steps
- Keep your calendar or inbox under control
- Find the motivation to start — or the follow-through to finish
And deep down, you’re asking yourself:
“Why can’t I get it together when everyone else seems to?”
Â
Here’s the Truth: You’re Not Broken.
You don’t need another planner, another app, or another all-nighter.
What you need is support, structure, and systems that actually work with your brain — not against it.
That’s where coaching comes in.
What We’ll Do Together
In our sessions, we’ll keep it practical, doable, and judgment-free. You’ll learn how to:
Simple Systems
Â
Build simple systems that make deadlines manageable (instead of terrifying).
Â
Breakdown Big Projects
Â
Break down big projects into clear steps so you know exactly what to do next.
Â
Â
Weekly Rhythm
Â
Create a weekly rhythm that keeps you focused without burning out.
Â
Â
Accountability Muscles
Â
Strengthen your accountability muscles so you follow through — even on the hard stuff.
Â
Grow your confidence as you see that yes, you can do this.
How Coaching Works:
-
Weekly or biweekly sessions (online, so you can show up from anywhere).
-
Personalized strategies based on your brain, your schedule, your goals.
-
Accountability between sessions so you don’t lose momentum. Â
-
A safe, supportive space where you don’t have to hide the struggle.
Â
Why Students (and their Parents) Choose this Coaching
Â
Because it’s not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you succeed with the brain you already have.
You’ll walk away with:
Less overwhelm
More confidence
Clear systems you can trustÂ
And the relief of knowing you’re not alone in this

Success Stories
Mandy Hanigan
"Working with Catherine has helped get me through the hurdles of not knowing where to start. Sitting in overwhelm for too long, she gave me a window of time to talk through my priorities and come up with a plan of action.Â
Productivity Power Hour is a must for me. It keeps me accountable and on track to show up for myself and others in the group to say a quick hello and get to work and see each other getting our tasks done.Â
I usually put on my list all the things I least want to do and I accomplish so many things in just 1 hour, I’m grateful for it!"
Tin Geysels
"Lack of focus is my big working from home challenge.
It’s the dilly-dallying getting my day started, the digital distractions, a bit of procrastination, …
and you end up with a day that is not as productive as it could or should be.
Catherine is so good at creating a non-judgemental environment and giving eye-opening insights, practical tips, and useful methods to turn a general feeling of “I am so bad at…” into tangible improvements and feeling good about my productivity."
I'm Catherine Avery
A former queen of clutter, recovering Type A Wall Streeter, and cancer survivor/thriver, I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life. But I suspected for years.
Now as an ADHD & Productivity Coach, I coach my clients through proven strategies that help them master their time, space and information so they can be more productive, more profitable, and have more time to spend doing the things they love.
I like to think of myself as a bit of a bad*ss.
Hey I learned how to surf at age 53.
I'm happiest on the water - surfing, sailing, kayaking. And I ski to get through the long New England winters. I also enjoy traveling and cooking with my husband and teen daughter. When I'm not on the move (hello ADHD brain), you may find me curled up with our cat and a favorite book.
