Incorrect. You can replace batteries in a TilePro. Also, you can’t use an AirTag with Android.

Besides using a paid app for nature or whatever, you can just find a youtube video of a nature or video, and put on your ANC headphones and listen. I listen to a video of a park near where I grew up. If videos distract you, the headphones make it easy to leave your device in another room while I am getting the nature sounds. Oh Jesse, great weather we are having this year during the holidays (2025) in the PNW.

thank you ❤

briliant man! thanks!

It can be hard being a partner and experiencing this from the other side. I have said things to my partner that, to me, were just comments about myself, or my past. He’s taken it as criticism, or that it pertains to him and shut down. I’ll admit I get really upset too, as I don’t think I did anything wrong.

What a sales pitch...

this was a very useful list actually. thank u

I have loop around productivity tool) Chose 5 things that matter and every time you tired, you switch to next, not to stupid youtube mind comsuming stuff and if I am tired to loop, I do nothing until I am bored anough to do one of 5 things.

Would love to see a follow up two years later, does that exist?

I am in a constant emotional state of "Do my friends hate me or do I just need to go to sleep?" Usually its the latter but man that feeling hurts..

I love you.

Wow, that list in the end hit hard. Still I think the urgency factor works best for me. Couldn't write a word for my uni homeworks for weeks until the final day, when I produced 20+ paged research papers in 10 hours. Deadlines make me efficient but it is exhausting as hell

Great tips on motivation. I recently switched to a new tab extension that helps streamline my tasks and keep everything in one place. It’s been a nice change.

These strategies are so helpful. I’ve been using a new tab extension that integrates to-do lists and helps me manage my time better. Might be worth checking out if you struggle with focus.

I appreciate the insights about ADHD and productivity. I just started using a new tab extension that keeps my tasks organized and has made a noticeable difference in my daily routine.

This video really resonates with me. I've been looking for ways to improve my focus, and I recently found a new tab extension that helps with productivity. It’s been a game changer.

I find that daily planners work well for me. Preferably a check list because it feels good to check it off. I have to be careful not to overwhelm myself so along with my planner I carry a plain notebook to brain dump. It helps so much. I love the idea of this book

I've always struggled with confrontation for fear of the reaction afterwards because I don't always find the right words, I find that I never actually really speak up or react outwardly, but I take it all in.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

can you elaborate more on each of those and give examples?

This is actually...pretty good

I am not exaggerating when I say this man deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. In twenty minutes you've described what adhd brains have known our entire lives but couldn't put into words, so instead we just felt shame. THANK YOU.

Thanks for the book list! Recently, an MD and translator of psychiatry books was surprised that someone with an adhd diagnosis prefered books. But for me, audiobooks are terrible. I need books to concentrate by making notes. What else is a library for but to be able to have books with personal notes?

Those look like good books. How To ADHD is now a “Best seller” i just found out. New printed books will have it written at the top. I have ENDEL it’s not amazing but I like it at times, I love those light glasses I might love those Thank you Oh and that coffee cups i miss place my coffee all day everyday. Thanks I have no fidgets I can’t find one I like yet.

I’d be buying for myself. None around is interested in my adhd or how it works or doesn’t work. Yes I also don’t want to write in my pretty notebooks.

I think I have undiagnosed adhd and Ive always struggled with my intense reactions. It especially sucks when its a joke that someone makes that I interpret as criticism. I sorta knew this existed but just in the form of the phrase "sensitivity to criticism" and never looked into it. Seriously feels so validating to see that this is real when you've been called "dramatic" or a "buzzkill" or told you "need to calm down" or you're "overreacting" your whole life. I could name so much more but you get the point. It is really frustrating doubting yourself. You just described my experiences so well thank you for giving me a word for it I just never really knew how to tell people especially since talking about my feelings especially after what I deem as criticism is so hard for me. Thanks for reading to whoever did 👍hope you have a nice day

Man. I've been really struggling more than usual with everything lately really, just existing is really hard and I've been arguing with myself about whether or not anything I do or feel or whatever is real or accurate or right or wrong or whatever honestly my whole life like all of this all the time and its seriously exhausting. Its nice to feel a bit called out sometimes so maybe you can trust yourself at least a tiny bit. I never realized how much neurotypical advice I get on a daily and its making me a little sad right now. But anyways thanks so much, seriously. I'll try these out next time I have to do something. I really appreciate people such as yourself who give help to people in a more specific way thats not just the same thing you always hear. Its refreshing in a way. Have a nice day, anyone who read this.

Having a wake up light alarm clock has really helped me get up in the mornings. Mine lights up more and more a half hour before it makes any noise. Was if pricey yes does i work yes. Also I can set 2 different times on it so if I do not want to get up yet or later in a weekend I have options and do not mess up my working days time setting.

I never knew that existed and now here I am, I just found out about this and I literally have this...

Damn, I paused the video and went straight to the link for the portal app and it's apple ecosystem only, bummer ;( Anybody knows a valid alternative for windows? It might have also just doubled up as the video backdrops for d&d sessions that I have been looking for! noooooo I'm super disappointed

I believe that’s hippocampal I’m not being able to regulate one’s emotions with the amygdala as well as another part of the brain. With anxiety or trauma healing and diet change to keep food cause anxiety down as well, one can start exercising and build up ability to do high intensity exercise for a few years to regrow the hippocampus.

Jesse - you are a national treasure!🤩 Love these ideas and love how relatable you are as you expertly describe how people with ADHD experience life, along with providing helpful, fun and thoughtful suggestions. THANK YOU for all you do for the ADHD ‘community’!

It's sounds so much to me like he has autism to 😮

Also two great books are “dirty laundry” and “small talk” by Richard and Roxanne Pink aka ADHD_love. 😊 Thanx for the ideas. I was looking for some inspiration for someone else and found things I was to have 😂😅

1:44 I got distracted because I had to continue the song for a good minute before realizing I'm getting distracted lmao how ironic

Just want to warn everyone, there's been a surge of fake cheap anti-planners on especially amazon!!!!

omg I just impulse bought light glasses cus I've been struggling with the exact same issue, you might have just helped me with my lifelong sleep deprivation, thank you so much Jesse (loved your book btw!!) 💜

Good call on the fidget. I am more of a rubber band-stretcher, but always on the lookout for something less explosive/comedic when the fidgeting is more than the rubber band can take

Dani's book is awesome. It's such a shame it's been stolen and resold by so many scammers

The anti planner is currently on sale! $10 off. I got one and love it! It helps me figuring out the reason why I'm not doing what I want to be doing. And it was my first big clue that I might have ADHD (I got it this summer, as just another planning solution and because I loved the images)

Welcome to my life where being betrayed and treated like trash is more common than interacting with someone just casually. It's so extreme that my subconscious will ALWAYS doubt whether someone is actually trustworthy or not so I always keep them at a distance. Have also been single for a long time because of this and honestly given up on ever finding a relationship again.

I love the Remindoo app for persistent reminders. Paprika app for meal planning/recipes/ grocery shopping. And the copilot app for budgeting.

Best gift was a door lock with a code in case I forget my keys (double points they installed it, so it didn’t sit in the box for months 😊) Other things I love that I put on my Christmas list, Everyday Dose Mushroom coffee and Stimagz.

As a person with ADHD, here are tips that work for me: 1. How to start tasks: I write down each task on a Post-it note, put them all in a basket, and randomly pick one to work on. 2. How to listen to lectures: Instead of trying to memorize every word or rephrase to your own words right away, follow the lecturer's thought process. Think of it as watching someone solve a puzzle - follow their analysis step by step, and understanding will come naturally. 3. How to plan before working: Instead of focusing on making your work perfect, prioritize the planning process by asking "If this was a routine task, how would I do it?" While the first result might not meet supervisor's expectations. but you will know what part you need to revise and how to do that.

This is horrible. It has ruined my life.

Wow! This is so great! Thanks for these ideas-I could relate to every single one of them, and I’ll be passing this video on to my other half.

So basically having adhd with rsd along with depression and aniexty means I will be alone forever bc who tf wants to deal with this😢 I only get rsd when I feel abandoned.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD in my twenties (hyperactive type) and also have experienced my share of trauma (a large portion.) I know I have rejection-sensitive dysphoria, i instantly identified it in myself as soon as I heard about it, a few years ago.. and yet... my partner says thinks like 'your obsessiveness is another thing I Can't Stand about you' or brings up the idea that we just might not be compatible and the other day she said that all of our conversations (-we're 1000 miles away and so most of our relationship has been comprised of conversations 'feel like a painful waste of time.' Stuff, i think, would hurt anybody... but because my emotional reaction is relatively enormous comoared to others, I can't see clearly whether this is sustainable, it is worth continuing to have, this relationship... or should i just cut this person out of my life once and for all, and revisit the possibility of friendship at a later time. I cannot tell if what we have is real or we're just reenacting childhood hurt while continuing to hurt eachother without any growth happening or potential to grow as a (polyamorous) couple.
