Working Memory problem? Then use external memory, paper and pen, sticky notes, lists, calendars etc
Hard to keep complicated things in working memory? Then break the big problem into small problems. Use external devices such as paper to pen to help plot your plans out. Use the notes to make a story.
Problems with self motivation? Figure out ways to create external motivation.
Other problems that are not ADHD, you probably have a comorbid condition which you need to treat as well.

Yes! So I hate it when the speaker says there's no need to take notes, because they'll provide them. I need to write them myself to up my chances of it sinking in. And I often have to write to figure things out. Even to spell something. I can't spell out loud verbally.

I would delete all but one but I can't, might lose something essential I'll never find.

[@elleoneiram]

This is really interesting. I assume my obsession with planners and lists helped me cope with ADHD for all the years before I was diagnosed.

[@shadowxgaming4247]

Could be Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD - it is NOT the same as OCD) as well. People with OCPD are obsessed with organization and perfectionism. We love schedules, planners, lists, charts, graphs, cleanliness, we often can't trust others to do work for us, etc. I would recommend researching into it.

Golly. My teachers when I was in school always scolded me for doing math with my fingers. Why, I don't know. It's not like I would ever find myself in the real world without a calculator and without my fingers and needing to do some math.

[@nleem3361]

I wish my parents would have helped me break down homework like that 3 pages a day a few sentences her and there. I pulled my 1st all nighter in tears in elementary school to read, write, and get a bad grade on a book report. Every time get told to start earlier next time and I'd whole heartily agree, but I did the same thing in college. And truthfully I still do it at work today. This breakdown stuff is so helpful. I'm going to try the minny goals. It's hard because I'm always in such a hurry, but since I'm not making progress, I might as well take the time to make goals... now to find rewards that don't end up becoming a distraction for the rest of the day. On the flipside I do hyper focus too and during those time, I even hate to get up to go to the bathroom because I'm scared I'll lose my mojo.

[@altyrrell3088]

I've spent several hours on this video, breaking it down and making notes, to understand it more thoroughly. Those hours were invaluable.

[@canadianhappyinitalytruest6556]

I cannot express appropriately how much this has helped me, both to understand myself (and what I always feared were just irresponsible behaviors) and better understand my young daughter. I’ve been asking waaaaaay too much of her without giving her the tools to manage. Olympic sport was my savior as it gave me the parameters needed to succeed with the way my brain functioned.

[@badbunnyky]

I was always really good at math in high school but I remember one year I had a teacher who, for fun, wood do an arithmetic exercise in which she verbally listed out a bunch of equations and we would have to follow along and solve them (ie 2 + 7 * 3 - 6 ÷ 3 * 10 and so on). i would start off okay but could never ever keep going and would get lost. i wish i had known all this earlier, i wouldnt have felt so dumb...

[@The_True_J]

I know your comment is 2 years old but I wanted to chime in as well. In 4th grade my teacher held me back in math because I wasn't preforming as proficiently as my peers. Not that my answers were wrong, I just couldn't seem to get basic memorization. She told my parents that I would always struggle in math. In reality I love math, and I even work in a financial position. But I still have to take out my phone to figure out that 5 + 8 still = 12. (Before someone calls me out for being wrong, that was a joke. I know the answer is 14.)

[@MaddieFrankX]

Same, I always found it quite amazing that there were people who would just think and give you a result. "OMG, they are so smart!". Recently at my job I complimented someone for that. Now I know that's a normal skill for regular people and I couldn't do it even if I was excellent at math because of my ADHD. I even had teachers who would ask me to help them with their Uni homework, but I always needed a piece of paper. I always needed to externalize, but I would always hyperfocus placing all kinds of mental cues all round in a very messy way and regular people never understood what I was doing and I always thought of it like lying my brain out in the piece of paper, now I know that it actually wasn't that far from the truth. The piece of paper was replacing my working memory.

[@mommaduck79]

4 year old comment - but same. My arithmetic is terrible, so I need to write down my 'working out' - but otherwise, I'm pretty good at Math. I struggle with mental division and multiplication for this exact reason. Holding numbers in my head can be incredibly difficult whilst still continuing with some other mental operation.

[@JustMe-12345]

Me.... but we had that in elementary school.... i was great at maths (and until uni good in quite a few subjects because it was interesting)....but one "extra teacher" (not a substitute, one that would come like 2 days a week added onto normal teacher)....she would do these "chain calculations in head" and we had similar exercises other times. I was soooo bad at them and felt so put down. (It was stuff like 5+7+9+2... maybe a - in there but not much)..... I would have hated maths from that point on if i didnt enjoy it already besides that

[@nleem3361]

So true. I'm an engineer, and it's funny because somedays I feel smart and others like my brain is broken. I remember everything, but if I don't write things down I can't access the info in a useful way, and being able to "see it on paper" helps tremendously. This is especially helpful when there were several options for doing something and I can't remember the one we picked by the time I go to open the file to do it. I've learned to take notebook with me whenever I leave my desk because, I might be getting my lunch, but some stops me and tells me something I need for the project and if I don't have my notebook, I'll end up having to ask them again about it. Luckily, I work with nice people who don't mind and since I generally use my external memory, and only have to ask twice occasionally, they don't mind. Problems with handwritten notebooks and solutions: they aren't organized and info gets buried. So, I transfer dates and times to my calendar with reminders (I keep a hand small written calander for person too but it doesn't have pop up reminders). And, when the 15 min reminder pops up, I snooze for 5 minutes before I need to leave my desk or log on otherwise I'll forget in that 15 mins, very embarrassing. To organize tips and procedures, I use onenote so I can have a separate tab for each topic and then every time I hear advice about that topic, I add it. Any program or app like that is ok. It's not super organized but easy to add text and screen clips to. I also have a separate notebook just for tips and advice... And, I'm making list of routines that I have to do at work, so everytime I have to do a thing, I don't have to remember every step of how to do it from the beginning. Especially, since my boss now gives me a sketch and wants me to pull together a full 30 page plan set with all relevant standards and notes. I'm more than capable of doing it, but each page has a process. I'm still looking for a better way to organize to be able to access what I need when I need it. And many days I ask myself, why in the world I ever thought having a desk job was a good idea. Actually, I didn't think this would be a 100% desk job, I thought there would be more field time... I still may switch fields if I can't find meds to help me focus better so I quit having to work so many hours to make up for all the hours that I got distracted and didn't make any progress. Meds are a different topic. I'm very sensitive to them stattera helps a lot, so I'm not neatly as anxious, but still have trouble staying on the appointed task. I've tried one stimulant that made me only think about one thing at a time which made me very sad, like missing a friend (not depressed). I like all my happy ideas. Another stimulant wouldn't let me sleep even though I took it at 6:30am and took melatonin at 10pm. So I stopped it. Did more research, found another I want to try, and will ask my psychologist in 2 weeks about it. In the meantime I'll just keep working hard & long hours to make up for the times when I can't. Luckily, we're super busy at work, so I don't have to worry about getting laid off, but even though everyone likes me and gives me good references, I'm usually one of the ones that gets let go of :_( But, that only happens every few years, and I've made spreadsheets to manage finances, and gotten myself out of debt, and am working on an emergency fund, so I'll be ready next time... I'm also 43, so I've been dealing with this a long time. I hope this helps streamline some things for the rest of you.

Hi, I’ve been watching how to use a ‘Bullet Journal’ on the ‘How to ADHD’ with KZbinr Jessica McCabe - brilliant ! Jessica is also very familiar with Dr. Russel Barkley’s work and rates him highly. Her videos are about 5 minutes long, so nice and bite-size or “baby steps” as the good Dr. Would say. I hope this helps.

[@devinkitcrosland1151]

Don't put the unnecessary barrier in your way of thinking you need to wait until you've purchased a journal to start this. Grab literally any piece of paper in reach and write down what you want to remember. If there are none, use the device you're watching this video on and set a reminder to go off at a time when you will be by a piece of paper.

I've just concluded from this man's knowledge that my partner's entire childhood,and "special school"education was as a result of undiagnosed ADHD & quite probably dyslexia, dyspraxia and Autism. He is in his 50's now and with my help we have found ways around his inability to function like the perceived normal. He now writes things down we have an open week2veiw diary on the countertop. I set smaller tasks that ultimately combine to make the larger task easily completable or it doesn't get finished or if so on time. Thank you for this knowledge. Being aware that he's not alone in his experiences and knowing we're doing things in a good way. Helps and reaffirms what I tell him all the time....that he's not stupid or uneducated just that his brain works differently to most. Thank you!

They probably can't even remember, I didn't even remember, but I got flashbacks from this video. I think I had heard some other kid say that they had some sort of a reward system at home and they liked it and it helped them get shit done. I figured that it would help me. Heck, even as an adult I think it would help me, but I live alone with 2 cats and they can't give me the rewards and I can't be trusted to hand out my own rewards lol.

I wish Professor Barkley also talked about things like cPTSD, Depression and Autistic Spectrum Condition in _conjunction_ with ADHD. My mental arithmetic is pretty damned good (though I'm shit at maths generally). Also, having to juggle eg cPTSD and ASC alongside ADHD means that not all my symptoms - nor the methods of treating them that work if you _solely_ have ADHD - work for any complex presentation (which many ADHDers have). AuDHDers experience a constant tussle between their symptoms, which is quite the headf*ck... 🙃

My mind is thinking things and thinking things. And if I have a sticky note in front of me I don't think of it. If I have the chart in front of me I don't think of it. What I have is a bunch of work that I did to remind myself that doesn't remind myself. I believe this probably definitely works for a lot of people. And the consequences I guess cuz I'm mentally ill with depression. The consequences come and I just crawl up in a ball and basically say f*** it. And then the consequence is kind of like court dates bills that need to be paid even if I have the money. Forget to go to court doctors appointments I am going to clinics so if you miss appointments you looking out like a month to two months. To get a new appointment even if you don't have your diabetes medicine that go well you didn't show up this time and this time we can't give you that. And it's only $500 if you go down to the pharmacy but we can't give you prescription cuz you're not a patient here no more cuz you missed our appointments. That's consequences. And I've done it over and over and over. Missing a court date for a basic ticket. And then you don't go then you lose your license then you get pulled over again ghetto driving with no license then your insurance is cancelled because they don't insure you if you don't have a license then you get driving with no insurance. Change of times and days mixed up and you don't show up to work on a day you're supposed to be there and you lose your job. Most people around you look at you and go why don't you just do get a sticky note to remind yourself. You forget to take your you didn't forget something else became a priority over it so had to do it. When you have a crazy sugar-high you feel like crap so you don't go do the side job you just got you let those people down there mad at you you have depression already it's a nightmare was denied for disability twice because I don't look retarded I even listen to my and dresse.

Baggy clothes. Because I am thin and muscular naturally. And I am not conceited but I've been told that I am very attractive. If you go in there with dirty clothes on and acts incoherent . Anyway social security sent me to a doctor that was a endocrinologist. He was about 400 lb. He was on an insulin pump. I looked around the waiting room almost every single person looked very sick and overweight they all have insulin and this fat unhealthy-looking doctor told me that diabetes is very. You told me that I should go get her insulin. I said oh yeah I just have $10,000 sitting in my thousands of dollars a month for the insulin that goes with it and the chords in all the other things. So anyway this fat doctor on an insulin pump was telling me it's treatable when his insulin pump just treats his bed eating with more insolent which makes them fat. I know more about diabetes than most of the people metal treating the diabetes. Anyway blah blah blah I could go on and on. Everyone that knows me says I should be on disability the social security fat doctor says now you're perfectly healthy.I have a sugar low once and the ambulance came to my house and the paramedics were pushing on my chest to see if there was a necklace which they already knew I was a diabetic so what are you looking for a necklace for. But the one powermatic as my roommate what is he wearing under his shirt. My roommate said that's his muscles. And the paramedics said that's too hard to be muscles. my muscles were clenched up from a. Diabetic seizure. The fluoride the government allows into our water is working well cuz I have never seen so many people so dim in my life.

Love the Trump reference

[@bruceforrester8757]

lol the Donald trump name drop

[@kestaa]

File the Trump analogy under things that didn't age well. As an adult with ADHD, I was initially outraged by that comparison! Then I remembered that this lecture was recorded in 2014, when we were still all so naiive.

Whilst this guy makes a good point that adhd people should not rely on their memory he fails to realize that most kids with adhd have had a lifetime of being harrased by those seeking to teach them to remember to turn the light switch off when you leave a room and other such things. The last thing a person with adhd needs is more pressure. What they need is a determined effert to militarily organise and motivate themselves to counteract their poor memory and this is done by SELF ORGANISING and externalizing all thoughts onto paper and by learning motivational NLP skills to reach their goals in baby steps. Change has to come from within and cannot be achieved by external force and pressure. Negative Internal emotions and fears that hold your confidence back can be as strong as concrete but not impossible to change with will power. Dont listen to anyone who is preaching that its all in your genes and you cant help it. These are the pessimistic nay sayers who dont understand the power of will power and the benefits of the conscious decision to strive with full effort to improve yourself and your life. This guy is underestimating the power of putting full effort into honing your mental skills in the same way you exercise your body. I would not be surprised if a person who has a working memory problem can quickly learn to memorize a deck of 100 cards. I plan to find out just how far adhd people can hone their memory motivation and persistence and communication and social and multi task switching skills. I cant help but suspect that adhd is deeply ingrained duff programming caused purely by environmental conditions. Thats not to belittle how serious an effect adhd has on ones life, im saying that mental programming (trauma,fear, anxiety etc) is as tough to fix and live with as a broken bone.

I agree to an extent. It's invaluable to be able to admit one's weaknesses and learn how to fix or work around them. You're saying it's better to fix them than to work around them, and I agree. For the things you can't fix, it's better to work around them than to remain ignorant. It's also a matter of comparing values. Someone might say "Why spend years of hard work to fix a problem that isn't a problem if I use google calendar?" What's the cost of fixing the problem, and what is the payout? Is it worth it? I'd say it depends on your values.
