What is his actual performance issue? Is it the kind of thing that can be fixed by stopping trying to do things yourself?
I used to be in the habit of trying to do things manually, trying to remember things without google assistant, navigating without GPS, not buying "Unnecessary" things like smarthome devices.
My first line of fixing mistakes was... nothing. I just assumed I would get better at things I do every day over time and no longer make the mistakes. Until I realized I would make a new type of mistake for the first time, then make it again the next day.
It almost seems like when I practice things the wrong action gets reinforced just as much as the correct action and I sometimes actively get worse with practice unless I'm carefully watching every step so there are no errors.
Now the fridge has a sensor so I don't leave it open, and I assume that the future doesn't exist, only computers are capable of remembering something at a future date.
I doubt I'll ever be able to do the stuff that really matters, the things that can't be done with plans and gadgets, like driving or useful levels of math, but onsite maintenance engineering is not a problem for me.
Then again, I'm pretty sure I have dyspraxia, not ADHD, I don't get distracted easily or have multiple thoughts running at once or anything like that.
