One Month to Get Back on Track: The ADHD Coach Betting on Small Wins
Rajiv (@rajivs.life) is an ADHD coach in India offering a "1 month to get back on track" plan built on small tasks, small wins and accountability for ₹499 a month. It is coaching, not therapy, and medication questions belong with a prescriber.
Most ADHD content online falls into two buckets: memes that make you feel seen, and clinical threads that make you feel informed. Neither helps much at 9 a.m. on a Monday, when the task list is staring back and your brain has decided today is not the day.
Rajiv, who posts as @rajivs.life, is trying to occupy the space in between as an ADHD coach in India.
The gap between a diagnosis and daily life
Getting an ADHD diagnosis is one step. Actually functioning day to day is another, and almost nobody in the formal system is staffing the space between them. That space is where accountability lives, and it is where Rajiv has chosen to work.
What the "1 month to get back on track" plan offers
His pitch is refreshingly concrete: "1 month to get back on track" through small tasks, small wins and accountability. The method is deliberately unglamorous:
Shrink the task until it is small enough to start.
Bank the win: do five push-ups, send that email, text your mom.
Repeat, with someone checking whether you did it.
Not every problem needs insight. Some just need someone noticing whether you did the thing.
Why ₹499 a month matters for ADHD support in India
That price point is worth pausing on. Therapy in India can cost several thousand rupees per session, with long waitlists in the metros. ₹499 a month is not therapy, and he isn't pretending it is. It is ADHD accountability coaching: structure for the gap that formal care rarely covers.
Medication and family: two honest messages
His reels swing between two registers. The blunt one:
"ADHD meds will help you build your life much faster than you think."
The soft one:
"Talk to your family about your ADHD… don't be alone."
Both matter. The first cuts through a wellness industry that sometimes treats medication as a moral failure. The second points at something Indian ADHD conversations rarely touch: the family. Telling your parents you have ADHD is a different challenge in most Indian households than it is in the blogs. Rajiv talking about it openly, as a man, matters in a country where men are still discouraged from naming mental health struggles at all.
The shame of knowing exactly what to do
The through-line of his content is a feeling many people with ADHD know intimately: knowing exactly what to do and not being able to do it consistently. You have the planner. You've read the books. The gym membership is active. None of it survives contact with your brain. Small, checkable tasks with another person involved are his answer.
A coach is not a therapist
One caveat belongs here, and Rajiv's own content mostly respects it: a coach is not a therapist, and medication questions belong with a prescriber, not a reel. As supplementary structure, the "do five push-ups, send that email, text your mom" layer on top of real care, the model makes sense.
