Try reading & watching with subtitles on, or changing the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5. It creates a bit more stimulation and can help make focusing a little bit easier

72 yo male with super divergent ADHD. I LOVE MY ADHD. I feel like I hit the jackpot with all of the fun life experiences and skills that I've developed because of ever-changing interests. Traveled all over the world, started and sold two companies, taught myself to engineer, program, create graphics, have an advanced private pilot license, play guitar, banjo, dobro, piano, motorcycled through the Alps, loved many women (but found a keeper). The list goes on... If I could start life over again, I'd pick ADHD in a heartbeat. I can't imagine how boring normal life must be. My only complaint is that I can never just relax. I've got to be working on something.

When I get slightly bored, and it's going to happen even with something I'm very interested in, I lose focus and just can't concentrate anymore. No matter what method I try, I continue to drift off and think about something else. It truly sucks as I have SO many interests and can't complete any of them. Books take forever to get through. 😄

I have adhd, and have always had a passion for many hobbies. But the main reason why I dont think the follow through is high is the lack of dopamine. I notice when I play video games, at some point the dopamine stops hitting, and I'll get bored. I then have to switch to a new game. This can take weeks or months for me. I think its the same with starting creative projects. I've learned when the feeling is happening, and how to hack my brain for it. I just try to go slowly with things. I've been working on making my own video game which takes a lot of different skills. I make sure I work on it even for 10 min a day. If I keep momentum in a task I want to complete. I notice Im far more likely to see it through! Idk if any of this makes sense. Just rambling my thoughts!

I was diagnosed at 50 with ADHD. Hobbies included electronics, photography, pistol and rifle(national level), play jazz(self taught), glider pilot (solo),ultralight pilot (when my wife lets me). Currently it's fencing working towards veteran national level. Learning now ai and robotics. I was a lab tech at a leading UK university, lots of skills I picked up. Downside, not good at socialising, always think I'm inferior. Though now I'm on medication, I'm still have this attitude of being inferior....

FREEDOM and authenticity are the most essential things in life yet most people actually fear both,

I truly, truly thought I wasn't holding onto others' expectations, but I was. Took an extensive burnout & shutdown period _(which put me in an in-patient therapy program)_ to realize this & grieve those things. 😮‍💨 The true work is in allowing that grief to happen & in radically accepting your reality. Otherwise, you'll end up in the same burnout cycle like I did.

My struggle isn’t to tune out the external expectations, as a creative multipotentialite (non adhd), I’m an independant weirdo and fine with that.

It's annoying to me how algorithms know what interests me but I was glad I saw this channel. I'm a 67 year old man who has struggled with almost all the characteristics of ADHD. I have self depracted since I was very young. Wondering what exactly was wrong with me. Why can't I do the basic tasks? Feeling of fear, anxiety, depression. Forgetting things. Losing things. Unable to focus and retain information. Unless it was something I loved. Sports, music, movie lines. Sounds familiar right? But my current spouse is a mental health professional and she has told me for a long time I was classic ADHD. My fight or flight mechanism refused to cave. Long story short. I was diagnosed and began a medication regimen. So glad I did because it has completely changed my life.

What if I am really sure that I want to do certain things but then feel like I don't deserve it because of all the necessary things I haven't done? Days are so short. I feel like there are so many things I need to do every day that take a lot of time, or add up to a lot of time. And I often cut corners on the daily necessities out of rebellion or tiredness. I'm bad at exercising and practicing my music and stuff. I used to think I was good at making decisions but I am actually not that great at it. I feel like I don't have the right info, which is understanding how to fit it all in and have enough time to focus.

I think the self beliefs are embedded through commercials from very early childhood. We see things that make other kids extremely happy that we don't have or are told no we can't get that. And it's on a massive scale. All kid focused ads show us our happiness is external. And honestly, parents cannot outpace this barrage of images when both work and kids are basically raising each other in school and continuing the comparisons of who has what and what things you need to be happy. The cruelty is that things ultimately (typically) don't lead to happiness.

I feel I've failed in life and I'm trying to better myself but I keep on searching for ways to do it. Through the years I've gone to school part-time and worked. I've built a great deal of debt due to money struggles. While trying to fix it my grades were affected. I would pass my classes but with great scores. As time went by, I managed to creep out of the financial hole but only to fall right back into it. I finally finished school with my bachelors after 10 years. I'm still working in the same field and trying to seek something better. I'm stuck searching for a new career not knowing which one to go to I'm looking into 6 different paths. I have an idea but then something else pops up. My credit score is below 500, I'm broke, and I'm barely surviving. I can't seem to focus on what to do on my days off from work. I'm tired of living this way. I failed at life. I don't have kids, a girlfriend, or a wife, and I'm 56 years old.

I’m so glad I found your channel today. To be understood like this is so validating. Thank you. (I will now spend the rest of the day watching every pertinent video on your channel, LOL) I'd like to distinguish another thing that happens 25% down the road that gets in the way of completing things (especially creative things and endeavors like brainstorming). 25% down the road of an idea I’ll see an entirely new possibility, a new creative idea available now by being 25% down the road of the 1st idea with the new combination of ideas I’ve gathered along the way-and that’s only and uniquely available at that point. So now I’ll have 2 bright shiny ideas instead of just one. And the 2nd one is a bit brighter and shinier at that moment (shining with possibilities). So I'll drop the first one and pick up the second one. I am turned on by possibility (probably getting a shot of dopamine whenever a new possibility arises) and I’ll diverge from that 1st path (that’s cycled 25% down the path of potentiality) and reach for the possibility instead and mainline that dopamine-following that new path to possibility. And so on, and so on, and so on.... I have a humongous landscape of possibilities.

What about those of us who have chaos on things that are authentic, where I can't finish finite projects like building a banjo, or building my drone, or other things I like to start? I have a hundred half finished interests, most of which just need to be completed once and that's done forever hah

@djn48 Ай бұрын

If they really are authentic, then all you need is to *remember why you wanted to do them in the first place*. Then just keep going! I find that doing little bits at a time is the way to finish things. Whenever you have a spare hour or two, tinker with whatever you feel like working on. As soon as you stress about not finishing something, that's what robs you of motivation to do it. But if you just keep doing little bits of work on them, eventually every project that you truly want to do gets finished, and every project that you just started on a whim can fall by the wayside without you caring too much. As a side benefit, everything that you finish gives you motivation to keep working on things in general, so maybe try not to start too many new things until you get a few things completed. Best of luck!

@guitarbuddha74 28 күн бұрын

I'm sure this applies to people but I don't find that I pursue things based on social pressure other than the required things you mentioned. I more have sort of a dopamine tank that causes me to start things I find interesting then after a while it hits that part of a skill where it gets harder and I want to switch again to refill the dopamine. I have found that if I switch then come back eventually to the thing I started on before I can sort of eventually get good at some things. It is an incredible slog though and takes me several times longer than most people mostly because I have to relearn things I've forgotten or I'm not constantly working on. In my mind though these are all things that I really want to learn and get really good at. I have managed over time to break things down into broad categories I wanted to learn like music, art, coding then break that down more into specifics versus just randomly looking around and letting things snag my interest. That has helped a bit but it's still hard to stick with things for very long stretches.

I took the test to become a licensed mortgage agent and passed it with no problem because I thought I wanted to be one. Then I was interested to become a licensed health insurance agent and passed that too. I still hold a real estate license and keep paying the renewal because maybe one day I will become one. I passed the real estate license in 2005. Now, I want to become a tax expert, learn to code, even enroll in nursing school, make YT videos, become a long-haul truck driver, electrician, etc. My mind will not settle to one thing once once I learn it, instead of sticking to one and becoming an expert. I'm 50 and empty nester, and my children don't need me, so it's also depressing. I thought making more money will make me happy but it's not. One day I'm high with the many ideas I want to achieve and the next day I'm defeated. I'm not sure what I have and how do I achieve part of the goals.

I completely agree.. I'm a visual artist and have SO many little projects and ideas that never reach completion because I switch partway through. Then after a break, my interest reignites and I have to re-learn what I'd forgotten and make a bit more progress. Then, I need another break and pick something else. It takes so long to master the skills I actually WANT to learn because I keep jumping ships.

I believe that those of us with ADHD live and think at a different frequency. Sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse. However, our dancing brains take us on journeys to places beyond thought, which may confuse others who are slow and steady. Perhaps this haiku encapsulates this : Genius is a Frequency that snaps and pops Ideas in waiting

It's crazy how perfectly timed your videos are to my life! I was thinking about this topic a lot in the last few weeks and had this exact realisation. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

I went to school because of social and legal obligation. I want to become a novelist, a digital 3D graphic designer, a leather worker, a parkour athlete, a coder, a game developer, a midwife, a.... And, yes, I want them for myself. If I went for what my social environment wants for me, I'd be a carpenter. I want all of those skills and vocationsfor myself, and I want them all too much to be willing to give up on any of them and non of them stands out so much above the rest that I would consider giving up any for the sake of that one. I am torn between choices not because of some externally inflicted score card or social pressure (in fact social pressure wants me to make a choice and stick with it) but because I have too many interests that are competing with each other, to the point of complete paralysis, stopping me from doing any of it.

Here’s the problem with your guidance here that I see: regardless of what choice I make within obligations, the correct choice for me isn’t necessarily going to be practical. If the thing that’s true to me, in alignment with who I am, but it’s obsolete on the grand scale of human need/want, then what? Make a different choice that’s hopefully “in alignment”, what then when that’s obsolete too? There’s plenty I want to do, plenty I had plans to do, and they just keep getting erased from underneath me. So I press forward with something new.

2nd video that I didn’t even search for - so good! I look at a lot of things I started out of intrinsic motivation that somehow transformed to become extrinsic. Worrying about expectations, judgement, disappointing others, perfection caused them to get into the weeds and halt. Started a siding job on my house over 10 years ago and it’s still not finished. And my brain is obsessed over tearing it down to do it again!

In my opinion, what happens is that you can't do what you want because the conditions make planning forbidden due to money, support, etc. Then, you try alternatives facing similar constraints. Since you can't do virtually nothing; you keep searching for tangible opportunities.

Great video. I do actually procrastinate on “Joyful” projects because I feel no urgent value since I’m only doing it for me. I know that’s a bit sad, but gotten so used to pleasing/winning the prestigious position and thriving on winning the next and the next, that own projects seems a bit lonely. I almost treat my own projects as a hobby and assignments as important. Sometimes this results in not finishing anything but just going out to play golf all day. I did accomplish many goals, but it’s a never ending cycle. I’m always looking for tips, tricks, inspiration and therapeutic solutions such as videos like this, hoping to apply a method that resonates and works. I do hold some sort of crutch towards what’s still being promoted in our society value wise, and are pleased to hear about people who break free, manipulating powers that are revealed, justice and scientific proof of spiritual concepts etc. This probably motivates me more and inspires me to look at my hobbies as potential higher values than my prestigious deadlines etc.

This is arguably, my favorite video of 2024 and the most useful one. It's starting to make more sense why it's so hard for me to focus and concentrate on something that I don't like versus why it's so easy to concentrate on things I do like or I'm interested in. And you're right, you always have a choice. Excellent content 🙏

Back by 8th grade, 1971, in response to the regular comments on how I think differently than others shared, I came up with "people seem to settle in on either being divergent thinkers or convergent thinkers. Many artists simply have the emotional belly to ride it out in the middle. I have the emotional belly-ballast to slide like a trombone from one to the other & have been developing some skills at it. And most people Can too, just have been conditioned to not do it."

I have to break free from the grip of the YT algorithm because there are things I have to do which I began doing out of interest and want to complete and it is almost impossible when I am presented with one interesting topic after another which sends my mind racing in new directions - or remind me that I am wasting what time I have left not following through with what I have already started. Actually it has become easier to become lazier as I have aged. And don't get me started on house maintenance, something which I know I have to do but which does not align with my interests. Unfortunately my pension does not go anywhere near allowing me to hire others to do the work.
