00:00:00
i think a lot of folks with adhd might
00:00:01
struggle from out of sight out of mind
00:00:03
and i had no idea just
00:00:05
how extreme that was for me so a really
00:00:08
poor memory and if it's not in front of
00:00:10
me it doesn't exist and so i need some
00:00:13
place to capture everything uh even my
00:00:15
husband knows he can ask me something
00:00:17
really basic you know even
00:00:19
errand and if it's not in notion it's
00:00:22
it's just not going to get done so it
00:00:24
needs to be on a calendar it needs to be
00:00:25
a notion needs to be somewhere visible
00:00:27
so getting into the habit of
00:00:30
uh you know storing information that is
00:00:32
interesting taking notes about what i'm
00:00:34
learning otherwise it's that you know
00:00:35
again that dopamine seeking learning new
00:00:37
things learning new things but if i'm
00:00:38
not translating what i'm learning into
00:00:40
something
00:00:41
that gets moved from working memory into
00:00:44
long-term memory then it's just kind of
00:00:45
in one ear and out the other so it's
00:00:48
really about that habit of kind of
00:00:50
collecting curating and also kind of
00:00:52
extracting my own insights from what i'm
00:00:54
learning the other thing i love about it
00:00:56
is
00:00:57
you get into the habit of capturing
00:00:59
information in your own way and putting
00:01:01
it into your own words and you get to
00:01:02
the point where your system is actually
00:01:05
a lot more curated than if you were to
00:01:07
go to google and search something like
00:01:08
now i can actually go to my system and i
00:01:10
can kind of sift through my own research
00:01:12
which is a lot more
00:01:14
you know tailored to to what i'm paying
00:01:16
attention to so it's been it's a game
00:01:18
changer to get into that habit one thing
00:01:20
i think that i'm as far as having like
00:01:22
my second brain or whatever it is mine
00:01:25
is sort of chaos compared to like marie
00:01:27
and brian they're like like notion world
00:01:29
and obsidian world i think brian you're
00:01:31
trying dendron now which i haven't
00:01:32
looked at yet but i mine's just kind of
00:01:35
chaos like i craft i would say is my
00:01:38
central one
00:01:39
um and then i kind of like i kind of use
00:01:41
i'm using thunk notes for journaling i'm
00:01:43
using just like twitter like i search my
00:01:45
own twitter
00:01:46
all the time to remind me of stuff
00:01:49
um and just my desk like random things
00:01:51
scattered around on my desk but i think
00:01:54
one thing that it hasn't helped me with
00:01:56
right now
00:01:57
is the relationship stuff that's kind of
00:01:58
something i'm trying to get better at
00:02:00
like figuring out how to kind of
00:02:03
build you know like a personal crm you
00:02:05
know relationship manager like
00:02:07
something's gonna that's going to help
00:02:08
remind me to do kind of that maintenance
00:02:12
sort of stuff my wife and i we found out
00:02:14
you know like nine or ten years after
00:02:15
marriage and it was like oh i have i
00:02:19
have adhd so there's that to kind of
00:02:21
work out but my wife has the symptom or
00:02:24
you know the disorder of having been
00:02:26
married to somebody with adhd for 10
00:02:29
years and so she has like her other like
00:02:31
habits that have developed that are like
00:02:33
patterns to figure out
00:02:35
which was really great for me because it
00:02:37
was like oh hey i'm not just the problem
00:02:39
to fix like we both have stuff to work
00:02:41
together on if i wanted to have a useful
00:02:44
personal knowledge management system i
00:02:46
have to work around the facets of adhd
00:02:48
that require i approach things in that
00:02:50
way it needs to be centralized and i
00:02:52
will have issues of you know object
00:02:55
permanence not knowing
00:02:56
where did i leave that note what folder
00:02:58
in this 30 levels of nested folder
00:03:00
hierarchy did i leave that thing and
00:03:02
that's one of the things i talk a lot
00:03:03
about is being able to
00:03:06
find anything because you don't need to
00:03:07
know everything but you need to know how
00:03:08
to find everything and being able to
00:03:10
resurface that information quickly
00:03:12
is one of the most valuable things
00:03:14
because i don't want to have to spend
00:03:15
all the time to sift through it and i
00:03:17
get distracted sifting through my
00:03:18
folders and no there's that note on
00:03:20
those praying mantis mating habits again
00:03:22
let's read that three hours later
00:03:24
instead of just let me run a quick
00:03:26
search or run some regular expressions
00:03:28
or something and oh there's the note i
00:03:30
was exactly looking for keeping on track
00:03:32
keeping inflow a lot of those solutions
00:03:35
help mitigate a lot of the potential
00:03:37
issues with adhd but i wouldn't say it's
00:03:40
something that helps me too much with it
00:03:42
in day-to-day life as much i have to
00:03:44
make it fun or it's just not going to
00:03:46
happen so you know one example of this
00:03:49
is i made a domestic awesomeness
00:03:51
database in notion because cleaning
00:03:53
sucks and cleaning is boring and i don't
00:03:54
want to do cleaning but i do want to be
00:03:56
domestically awesome i do want to be a
00:03:58
good partner so i got my partner to add
00:04:01
a point score for each of the different
00:04:03
tasks like everything around the house
00:04:05
across the different rooms got him to
00:04:06
add a score and so now i connect it up
00:04:08
to my daily journal it's super nerdy but
00:04:11
it works for me so i've gamified parts
00:04:13
of my journaling in my daily system i
00:04:15
will try and make tasks in todoist and
00:04:19
usually that's motivating for me to like
00:04:21
do tick boxes
00:04:23
and see that satisfying task go away the
00:04:26
little sound go away i tried habitica
00:04:28
for a while because of the gamification
00:04:30
effect on getting your getting your
00:04:33
stuff done
00:04:34
is insanely useful adhe looks so
00:04:36
different from person to person doing
00:04:38
the hardest thing in the morning is
00:04:40
absolutely just not going to happen
00:04:42
i need to build momentum throughout the
00:04:44
day and my energy picks up in the
00:04:46
afternoon so i need to start the day
00:04:48
with those small wins that's something
00:04:50
that works for me i think having some
00:04:52
kind of prioritization system as well
00:04:55
you know i've been doing yearly planning
00:04:57
and quarterly planning for a really
00:04:58
really long time so there's sort of
00:05:00
these
00:05:01
most important goals that you've got for
00:05:03
the quarter or for the month and if
00:05:04
things don't align with that like it's
00:05:06
just distraction so part of it is the
00:05:08
skill of prioritization right and kind
00:05:10
of tuning out what's
00:05:12
what's not important and then part of it
00:05:14
is having a productivity system that you
00:05:16
can trust that works for you and if you
00:05:19
hear advice that doesn't work toss it
00:05:21
out the window right everything
00:05:23
uh the same advice doesn't work for
00:05:26
for folks with adhd and i think we need
00:05:27
to be honest about what works and what
00:05:29
doesn't work and so having one central
00:05:31
place where you can see the stuff that
00:05:32
is most important for today i don't need
00:05:34
to see what's due next week right now
00:05:36
today when i'm doing my work so i need
00:05:38
to find ways to filter out and tune out
00:05:40
what is not important it's just visual
00:05:42
noise it's going to distract me we know
00:05:44
that i've got a squirrel brain and if i
00:05:45
see that other task that looks more
00:05:47
exciting i'm more likely to do that so
00:05:49
if i can start the day off with
00:05:51
something like a simple win that's
00:05:53
that's kind of fun that's going to set
00:05:55
me up for success and there's just a lot
00:05:56
of
00:05:57
productivity advice like that that
00:05:59
before i had adhd i would just try and
00:06:01
then
00:06:02
again like beat myself up like why isn't
00:06:04
this working for me clearly it's working
00:06:05
for other people and so i would think
00:06:07
that i was the problem
00:06:09
and yeah really uh like marie said we
00:06:12
need to
00:06:13
like figure out what works for us and
00:06:14
then take anything else and just throw
00:06:16
it in the trash so like so that eating
00:06:19
the frog first like i like to say eat
00:06:21
the ice cream first because yeah to
00:06:23
build that momentum like find that fun
00:06:25
thing
00:06:26
to get yourself moving because otherwise
00:06:28
like i find if i'm trying to do the
00:06:30
hardest thing first thing in the morning
00:06:31
i'm just i'm there the entire day and
00:06:34
just staring at it at the end of the day
00:06:36
um and i do think one thing that helps
00:06:38
when you when you're like yeah but how
00:06:40
do i find that thing that works for me
00:06:42
like nothing seems to work for me i
00:06:44
think one thing that helps is knowing
00:06:45
about uh what dr william dodson calls
00:06:48
the interest-based uh
00:06:50
nervous system which is basically how
00:06:52
motivation works for people with adhd
00:06:55
and the idea is that most people that
00:06:57
don't have adhd they're motivated by
00:06:59
things that are important or like
00:07:00
rewards and consequences
00:07:02
and those seem like they would motivate
00:07:05
us too but they kind of don't really
00:07:07
like sometimes rewards can like but it
00:07:09
has to be a really specific type of
00:07:11
reward like if you tell me like hey if
00:07:13
you do this you're going to get this
00:07:14
little reward at the end and i'm not
00:07:16
interested like making the reward bigger
00:07:19
doesn't actually change my motivation i
00:07:21
would feel like it would but in the
00:07:22
reality it doesn't um and so like the
00:07:25
interest-based nervous system is about
00:07:27
being motivated by things that are
00:07:29
interesting or things that are creative
00:07:32
or novel and new
00:07:34
and it can also be things that are
00:07:35
challenging this isn't true for
00:07:37
everybody like some people like they
00:07:39
step back from a challenge but other
00:07:40
people like you told me i can't do it
00:07:42
i'm gonna prove you wrong uh and then
00:07:44
the final thing is urgency just because
00:07:46
we're so like
00:07:47
we have a hard time understanding time
00:07:50
like we think of it and now and not now
00:07:53
so we kind of don't have like this like
00:07:54
oh in four days in four weeks and four
00:07:57
months like that's all the same time to
00:07:59
my brain so but when it shows up when
00:08:02
it's urgent then suddenly i'm like oh
00:08:04
like every school paper i ever did i did
00:08:06
the night before that it was due i did
00:08:08
all the work like an all-nighter that
00:08:10
that last night right before it was due
00:08:13
and then i would still turn it in like
00:08:14
you know 10 minutes late or whatever
00:08:16
somehow
00:08:17
but that urgency
00:08:19
knowing that that urgency motivates me
00:08:21
means that i can
00:08:23
try to inject that into my life so i use
00:08:25
timers all the time and it's not quite
00:08:27
the same because i know
00:08:29
i know when this timer ends like nothing
00:08:30
actually happens
00:08:32
but just being able to see time so like
00:08:34
visual timers i i in pomodoro like that
00:08:38
really helps motivate me even if it's
00:08:40
not to that same degree but just because
00:08:42
otherwise i won't know that time is
00:08:43
passing and four hours will go by and
00:08:46
i'm researching the you know praying
00:08:48
mantis mating habits or whatever it
00:08:50
might be a lot of the
00:08:51
usual helpful things for getting
00:08:55
tasks and work done doesn't usually work
00:08:56
for me like i can't stand pomodoro
00:08:59
because usually and what i usually tell
00:09:00
my my partner all the time is
00:09:02
if i manage to start doing something
00:09:05
that i have had trouble with getting
00:09:06
started like because of executive's
00:09:08
function
00:09:09
and i finally started painting a piece
00:09:12
of furniture or something that's a big
00:09:14
task that's going to take a lot of build
00:09:15
up sometimes i'll put that off for a
00:09:16
couple weeks even though it might only
00:09:18
take an hour or two but as soon as i can
00:09:21
start doing something
00:09:22
if i only said okay do that for 25
00:09:25
minutes then take a five minute break no
00:09:27
no uh-uh no i ride the wave as long as i
00:09:30
can get it if i can trigger a hyper
00:09:31
fixation on something that i've been
00:09:33
putting off forever i don't care if i
00:09:35
sit there for 11 hours i'm going to get
00:09:37
as much done on it as i possibly can
00:09:39
while i have
00:09:41
the horns of the attention going like
00:09:42
we're gonna stay on this road here i
00:09:44
talk about a lot of strategies for
00:09:46
actually getting tasks done because i
00:09:48
have a ridiculous amount of stuff on my
00:09:50
plate as i'm sure everyone else here
00:09:51
does too i have uh usually only a couple
00:09:54
apps that i rely on because i want to
00:09:56
keep things centralized i only want to
00:09:58
have a couple sources of truth for what
00:10:00
i actually need to be paying attention
00:10:01
to
00:10:02
and one of them is todoist so basically
00:10:05
a task manager i used to use task
00:10:07
warrior on linux
00:10:08
but i used todoist and i think for my
00:10:11
medication i use medsafe and you can
00:10:13
actually have it trigger like urgent
00:10:16
alerts on your phone
00:10:17
so like you know how you get those uh
00:10:19
very loud obnoxious public service
00:10:21
announcements and you can't block them
00:10:23
it's like that but for medication alerts
00:10:25
like it i keep my phone permanently on
00:10:27
silent and i never want to hear it but
00:10:30
this thing will be the only thing that
00:10:31
makes a noise which is helpful because
00:10:33
the only time my phone makes noise is
00:10:34
when i need to take my damn medication
00:10:36
but like with tasks i'll use todoist and
00:10:39
i had a strategy that i
00:10:41
just threw together it's not like super
00:10:44
robust but i just called it sclc sift
00:10:46
chunk lineup and conveyor belt for my
00:10:49
tasks so with todoist i just have all of
00:10:52
my daily tasks sometimes they have due
00:10:54
dates like you know wake up 7 a.m brush
00:10:57
your teeth that kind of stuff so it's
00:10:58
all laid out by time but sometimes i
00:11:00
also just
00:11:01
tomorrow i need to remember to do this
00:11:03
random thing and that'll be like a task
00:11:06
i make for myself at
00:11:07
midnight the prior day because i'm
00:11:10
falling asleep and i just need to get
00:11:11
out of my head
00:11:12
which is always big is externalize these
00:11:15
things whether it's a note whether it's
00:11:16
a task whether it's an idea get it out
00:11:18
of your damn head
00:11:20
externalize everything that way you
00:11:22
don't have to hold it in you don't have
00:11:23
to worry about it you don't remember it
00:11:24
you don't have to forget it like what
00:11:26
was that
00:11:27
and you always know where you can trust
00:11:29
to find that your pkm system to do is uh
00:11:33
any application so i'm big on
00:11:35
externalizing absolutely everything my
00:11:37
family does knows that if it's not on my
00:11:39
personal calendar
00:11:41
i'm not doing it it's not happening and
00:11:43
it doesn't exist to me if they want to
00:11:45
see me if they want my help with
00:11:46
something they have to get on my
00:11:47
calendar it's like running my personal
00:11:49
life like a business but it's the only
00:11:51
way i can be effective those are my
00:11:53
sources of truth it's not on the
00:11:55
calendar i'm not doing it if it's not in
00:11:57
my task manager i won't remember it if
00:11:59
it's not in there i know that i didn't
00:12:01
need to know about it or it didn't
00:12:03
happen if all these tasks are in todoist
00:12:05
and i have all my stuff this is normal
00:12:07
daily you know chronologically ordered
00:12:09
things but a bunch of like random no
00:12:11
date due dates just
00:12:12
thoughts into tasks
00:12:14
pool sitting there i could have like 50
00:12:16
tasks for one day
00:12:17
then executive function starts to say ah
00:12:20
so all your organized tasks here are
00:12:21
looking like a giant pile you struggle
00:12:23
with prioritizing good we're not going
00:12:25
to get anything done today i'm one of
00:12:27
those annoying people that's always like
00:12:28
hey is this going to be recorded because
00:12:31
if i
00:12:32
sit in this and really enjoy it i'm
00:12:34
going to want to put it on again later
00:12:36
and i probably won't take notes the
00:12:38
first time i watch it and then maybe the
00:12:41
second time
00:12:42
another thing i do when i am taking
00:12:44
notes i try to think of it like um like
00:12:46
taking highlights in a book like i'm not
00:12:48
trying to capture everything but i'm
00:12:50
trying to capture anything that like uh
00:12:52
i think like surprising like something
00:12:54
that i was like oh i hadn't thought of
00:12:56
it like that or something that kind of
00:12:58
hits me as something like oh interesting
00:13:00
that's a unique thing it's not just like
00:13:02
oh they have this framework that's like
00:13:05
every other framework but with different
00:13:06
words like it actually kind of jumps out
00:13:08
a little bit like i kind of use that as
00:13:10
a spark to like oh i should write that
00:13:12
down because it surprised me it might
00:13:14
not surprise me next time i see this but
00:13:17
that means it was a unique sort of
00:13:19
interesting tidbit that is worth writing
00:13:21
down and remembering and maybe using
00:13:24
elsewhere yeah this is one of the things
00:13:25
to talk about when setting up a pkm
00:13:27
system is you got to have good
00:13:29
ways of implementing quick capture
00:13:32
and one of the things i love about
00:13:34
some of the apps that i use
00:13:36
and namely i'm just going to use say
00:13:38
obsidian and todoist is that they have
00:13:40
quick capture palettes or at least with
00:13:43
obsidian there i'm on mac so there's the
00:13:45
alfred app and there's an alfred
00:13:46
workflow made by somebody in the
00:13:48
exciting community that allows you to do
00:13:50
alfred based quick capture so you can
00:13:52
just append stuff to your daily note and
00:13:54
obsidian through this alfred workflow
00:13:56
and i use that religiously for
00:13:59
actually writing my journal in bite size
00:14:01
increments like i could say a sentence
00:14:03
submit that entry oh another sentence
00:14:05
and i can just get my
00:14:07
you know words out quickly without
00:14:09
having to worry about formatting or
00:14:10
anything or just seeing all the text
00:14:12
build up it's just a single line that
00:14:14
just goes and then to do is
00:14:17
it's just another hotkey and i have a
00:14:20
palette open and they use nlp or natural
00:14:22
language processing to define the
00:14:24
acronyms so i can just say in two days
00:14:26
and it just assigns it to two days in
00:14:28
the future i could say in two days at
00:14:30
seven a.m and it will assign it to that
00:14:32
date i just have to type in natural
00:14:34
language and i can just use there also
00:14:36
for priority p1 for high priority so i
00:14:38
can say
00:14:39
in two days at 7am p1 high priority do
00:14:43
the task
00:14:44
and fire it off and i can just do that
00:14:46
in
00:14:47
literally seconds so it makes it very
00:14:49
easy to quickly capture
00:14:51
tasks but i also use that to do his
00:14:54
quick capture and various other ways of
00:14:56
shortcutting that process apple
00:14:58
shortcuts or the triple back tap on your
00:15:01
phone to trigger a shortcut that opens
00:15:03
up to do us with a voice
00:15:05
voice to text
00:15:07
input
00:15:08
and whatever way to do it but i usually
00:15:10
use to do as like quick prompts i need
00:15:12
to remember to look up the mating habits
00:15:15
of the praying mantis
00:15:17
to do this quickly capture just hey that
00:15:20
thing
00:15:21
and it will remind me later to look into
00:15:23
it more so i don't always have to
00:15:25
completely capture
00:15:26
the thought i had
00:15:28
or what i want to take a note on i could
00:15:30
sometimes
00:15:31
condense it down into something and
00:15:33
trigger my memory with enough
00:15:35
information that i can give myself those
00:15:38
quick hints to
00:15:39
trigger that later on when i have the
00:15:41
time to devote to it i mentioned before
00:15:43
like i had a lot of support systems
00:15:44
around me you know i i had privilege of
00:15:47
like i could try a lot of things and
00:15:48
fail and that was fine so for me like
00:15:51
hyper focus let me
00:15:53
learn things i never would have been
00:15:54
able to learn otherwise
00:15:56
but i think some people that maybe don't
00:15:58
have those systems in place or that
00:16:00
privilege like they can't they can't try
00:16:03
that stuff and so like they're like hey
00:16:05
i'm trying to survive doing two or three
00:16:07
jobs you know at the same time
00:16:10
and it sure doesn't feel like a
00:16:11
superpower when i'm failing at just
00:16:14
getting like basic things done if you're
00:16:16
at a place where your basic kind of
00:16:19
survival needs can be taken place there
00:16:21
are benefits that cam can come with adhd
00:16:24
but there's a lot of downsides too that
00:16:26
are particularly crippling if you don't
00:16:29
have kind of those support systems
00:16:31
automatic those extremes are so big the
00:16:33
crashes come after right and so you know
00:16:36
there there are trade-offs for sure so i
00:16:38
try to see the positive and and sort of
00:16:40
um appreciate the parts that are
00:16:43
interesting about my adhd like making
00:16:45
connections really quickly right i can
00:16:47
move really fast i can adapt really
00:16:48
quickly that's great but overall i think
00:16:51
it is kind of um
00:16:53
unfair to call it a superpower a lot of
00:16:55
what i spend my time on is the stuff
00:16:57
that i want to spend my time on and i
00:16:59
work in a field that i enjoy i work in
00:17:01
i.t so technology is endless learning
00:17:04
it's endless stimulation and i'll be
00:17:05
able to work in that career for decades
00:17:08
and my channel talks a lot about stuff
00:17:11
around that domain as well so
00:17:13
my notes are about a lot of that as well
00:17:14
basically everything in my life revolves
00:17:16
around things that i also am very easily
00:17:19
able to get hyper fixated on
00:17:21
and
00:17:23
thanks to just a lot of concerted effort
00:17:25
and support from my partner i've gotten
00:17:28
better about
00:17:29
disengaging from hyper focus when i need
00:17:32
to
00:17:32
and kind of trying to pop back into it
00:17:35
energy management is so important i used
00:17:38
to like like beat myself up again for
00:17:41
like
00:17:42
like oh that's gonna waste too much time
00:17:43
to do it that way and it's like i needed
00:17:46
to recognize like it's not about
00:17:47
managing time for me it's about managing
00:17:49
the energy so for me like doing a chore
00:17:52
like the dishes or taking out the trash
00:17:54
i queue up a podcast to listen to every
00:17:57
single time even though it's like a 30
00:17:59
40 second task because if i force myself
00:18:03
to just take out the trash without
00:18:04
putting on that podcast for 40 seconds
00:18:07
then two days later i'm gonna stop and
00:18:09
never ever do that task again so for me
00:18:11
it's really important to kind of like
00:18:14
make the routine easy and kind of manage
00:18:16
my own energy so that it's i'm having
00:18:19
you know
00:18:20
positive vibes the whole time
00:18:22
everything about my task management is
00:18:24
designed around my energy even when i
00:18:26
input a task into my system it's like is
00:18:28
this a deep work or you know a process
00:18:31
driven task what kind of energy does
00:18:32
this require so i didn't really realize
00:18:35
that that was maybe adhd related so yeah
00:18:38
my whole day is based around that i have
00:18:40
to be really honest with myself if i'm
00:18:42
not feeling it today so rather than that
00:18:44
tension of fighting myself i say let's
00:18:47
be honest that this is not going to
00:18:48
happen today what can i do to tackle
00:18:49
some of those those small wins off my
00:18:51
list so i just kind of roll with it a
00:18:53
little bit and i focus on the bigger
00:18:56
picture of what needs to get done this
00:18:58
week that's most important not so much
00:19:00
on a day-to-day basis so i try to be a
00:19:01
little bit more uh compassionate with
00:19:03
myself i try to build systems and they
00:19:06
always crash and burn like i have i have
00:19:09
i went through my notion like i don't
00:19:10
know a few months back and i have just
00:19:12
like abandoned pages that are like i had
00:19:14
one that was like recipes and there was
00:19:17
one thing in there and it had no
00:19:19
information it was just like the name of
00:19:21
some food i guess i wanted to make um so
00:19:23
i have that problem a lot i like to kind
00:19:25
of embrace what i call uh the pivot
00:19:28
which is just like i try to kind of
00:19:30
surface level use these systems because
00:19:32
i know i'm going to get pulled to
00:19:33
something more interesting and so rather
00:19:36
than trying to make my system perfect
00:19:38
and having all the right automations i
00:19:40
try to make my system portable and
00:19:42
really easy to so that when i see this
00:19:45
shiny new cool thing i want to try out i
00:19:47
can easily kind of transfer
00:19:49
my stuff there without fearing that i'm
00:19:51
going to lose stuff so that's what i do
00:19:52
i i have to keep my systems really
00:19:54
surface level so i can plan for the
00:19:56
pivot i think it took a long time to
00:19:58
build a system that i felt worked for me
00:20:00
and again part of that is it needs to be
00:20:01
beautiful needs to be visual so i've got
00:20:04
my journal my tasks today
00:20:06
with custom icons like i'm a designer i
00:20:09
just need to see things in a way that
00:20:10
clicks for my brain and that took a
00:20:12
little bit of time for me i was willing
00:20:15
to put in that time because i needed
00:20:16
something that i could trust and rely on
00:20:18
so i mean it took me probably a year
00:20:21
year and a half to really feel like oh
00:20:24
i've got a system that works all the
00:20:25
freaking time and
00:20:27
for me it was worth it but i do
00:20:29
recognize that that stuff can take a bit
00:20:30
of time we can blame our system we can
00:20:32
waste a lot of time tinkering which is
00:20:35
not helpful but it does take a bit of
00:20:37
time and again learning about that
00:20:39
energy management learning that there's
00:20:41
ways to actually organize my tasks in a
00:20:42
way that works for my brain just took a
00:20:44
little bit of time if i'd known i had
00:20:46
adhd maybe i would have built the system
00:20:48
a little bit differently from the
00:20:49
beginning
00:20:50
but
00:20:51
finally found a system that worked for
00:20:52
me
00:21:04
you
