Bs. Its a huge video of yapping you can't skip through and doesn't even offer a link to a PAID PRODUCT. Don't waste your time, I just let it run in the background after I realized it was preying on insecurities in an attempt to get us to buy a product. Very childlike. Sad.

Unsubscribing to this guy. Lost my trust. "In a few minutes I will tell you how..." Half an hour later still going on about he will tell you what he discovered that changed everything. Super insulting and disrespectful to ADHDers that he claims to understand. Focus Revolution is his product. Best I can tell it's an expensive doctored up version of body doubling which you can get for about $7/month at Focusmate. Thought I'd save others time by coming here to share what his push of a button life changing thing is that "he will reveal in the next few minutes ". Smh

I got diagnosed last year at age 58. Started on methylphenidate immediately. The diagnosis and meds have made a profound difference. I got diagnosed with lung cancer the same week as ADHD, the methylphenidate helped me breeze through it without the massively unhelpful thoughts associated with ADHD. The cancer has gone now, and I feel fucking amazing.

This guy knows exactly what he’s talking about. In typical ADD/ADHD fashion, I paused about 30 seconds in to write everything below, resumed the clip and, lo and behold: he basically said everything I was getting at haha! Once I dedicated myself, life started taking a much better turn for me. I’m still not perfect, but I’m in a much better place. It is possible to break free, it just takes some time and dedication. :) -- The thing is, if there’s something you need to do, something you really don’t want to do, and you just do it - no procrastinating, no nothing - it provides a massive dopamine hit and a huge sense of accomplishment. Way larger than a hit from procrastinating and rushing to finish something at the last minute and causing all kinds of chaos and making people upset in the process does. Doing this repeatedly will slowly rewire your brain to seek these greater and more positive dopamine hits over the easier but more negative ones, and you’ll start to hyperfocus on the things you need to accomplish. People with ADD/ADHD have the potential to be some of the most productive and self-sufficient people there are. Case in point: how many of you who play games will move Heaven and earth to accomplish all of the bonus objectives during a mission, do each and every side quest, seek out the most obscure loot - no matter how hard it is to get, or grind and grind and grind for hours (even days) to get your stats up (even if it’s frustrating) to give yourself an advantage? We’ll hyperfocus on some of the most minute things in order to get ahead; things that most other people would say are not worth pursuing. People with ADD/ADHD have the potential to do incredible things. They just have to dedicate themselves and break their cycle. Once it’s broken, they’re unleashed. The only thing that they need to do at that point is maintain themselves and keep that leash off of them.

+greghoyt4061 Honestly, I go back and forth so much from planning and non-planning. Like I'll plan things out which actually makes my life easier to some level. Example: I literally try my best *not* to grocery shop on a whim anymore unless absolutely Necessary. I will literally to each grocery store's website to compare prices to see which one is more affordable for specific products I may need, I will literally write down what I'm going to buy from each store. I go to about 3-4, occasionally 5 diff. grocery stores solely for affordability purpose. There is a huge chance I've had undiagnosed ADHD my whole life for more than 1 reason. 1.) I was tested for both ADD/ADHD when I was 7 yrs. old 2.) A lot of my childhood behaviors have transferred into my adulthood, 3.) Strong coffee literally puts me to sleep. Also, idk if this is part of ADHD or not, but I'm horrible w/phone calls and follow-ups-the reason I say I'm horrible w/phone calls is cuz I kept telling myself I'd follow up w/my doctor to get retested for it & it's already been a week and I still haven't done it. I'm someone who doesn't take action because for the longest time ever, I've allowed my own emotions to take over. I think rather than taking my challenges/weaknesses as a chance to turn into strengths-I allow my hypersensitive emotional state to take over & dwell on it. I try not to dwell on things, but sadly it happens b/c that's how my mind is until it gets angry angry depending on the situation. I've noticed now that whenever I'm upset or even annoyed in the slightest, I'll do *anything* to do my best to improve it. But there are times when I feel so exhausted by diff. things that I literally have 0 energy to do anything esp. when my mind is too focused on multiple things at 1 time. Also, I don't want to say that my mind is haywire 24/7, but it's def. haywire a lot more often than it should be. I know exactly what my passions are & would love to pursue them, but when others put me down, I end up putting myself down for it, but I'm gonna start learning how to take action mostly b/c I'm fed up w/myself and prob. with others in my life and earlier on to some level treating me like crap or downplaying my dreams rather than allowing me to do my own thing & pursue them-sorry for the lengthy-ness.

Excellent comment. To turn that corner, from avoidance-procrastination, disorganization, and chaos, to getting addicted to actual _accomplishment_ of those tasks that move your life forward. There is a lot of latent power in the ADD style, but one has to _learn_ to seek those "greater and more positive dopamine hits". The brain has to get that, somehow -- the "should do" needs to somehow become more compelling than the "want to do". And it has to become more _naturally_ compelling, otherwise one is caught forever in a shame loop.

Yes! And add to that any other kinds of trauma to our already different brain, and it can seem impossible to move. Like we have a ball and chain around our feet, meaning we can't move towards those long-term goals very fast, and are also being distracted by little things at the same time. We might have a few days of motivation and hope , but when things don't happen fast enough, it seems impossible to bring that motivation back.Then the cycle of negative self talk and berating continues, causing a deepening of anxiety and/or depression.

Having ADHD not only self-sabotages you but your relations with others deteriorate and also welcomes problems with other people, with work, school, and society at a daily basis. I was always unfocused, felt behind always, shun friends or people due to avoiding adding more clutter to my brain but also people sense my struggle and I am easy prey. I do not know why I am the only one having problems from nowhere at work or when I go to the store or whatever place. At work, with my ADHD I overperform but I am not recognized and when my ADHD causes me to make a stupid mistake I have the entire management team attacking me. I see other people doing nothing for years, basically getting paid to do nothing, yet I make a simple mistake, I get a warning.

I must now coming to terms with the fact that my brain is different than most others and this is largely why every opportunity and relationship I’ve had has been lost or destroyed. I don’t even know what Im living for anymore. I’m toward the end stretch of my life. It’s so depressing to look back and see how many many things could have been better had my parents (one of them has severe cluster of Asperger’s, anxiety, depression, all untreated for life) - had my parents, who are both career teachers, helped me cope with adhd, anxiety, spectrum social disorders. I’m just staying alive to hopefully someday take my wife on a vacation and help my kids get through life. Damn, and then the Supreme Court immunity ruling.

This is a typical motivation video. Some of us with ADHD can't even get that motivation to act on our dreams. We want it so bad but the push or productivity is not there. My advice, get ADHD meds to gear start you. I took my first pill of concerta last year in December and I hit thee gym the next day. I had planned to hit the gym for 5 years. I have since gone from 78kgs to 62kgs. Sometimes you need the drugs to make painful tasks bearable. When am on my meds, I hit the bottom of my task lists no questions asked and I don't need a pill everyday. One every month sets things in motion. It's the unfortunate reality of existence. We need to work and do things we dislike to put food on the table. I do not think people without ADHD also enjoy the things they do. They don't, they are just able to focus and shut their brains from telling them otherwise, or maybe they have more willpower that we do. I don't know. But the meds will change your life. Not this motivation speech.

Honestly, yes. I am in the middle of career change after having been a self-taught web developer to now starting a tech nonprofit to help close the digital divide in rural areas of developing countries. I started this project before getting diagnosed with ADHD (very recently at the age of 34), and it has given my life more meaning and more reason to get out of bed every morning. No, not all days are great - to be honest, there are still a lot of bad brain days. But, in my general direction in life, as well as the day to day,, my seeking of "not-so-good" sorts of stimulation have gone way down since I've started this project. Starting a nonprofit is a huge undertaking and I just hope that my ADHD doesn't derail me or my work, but no two days are exactly same and that's kind of like heaven for me. I need that variety and novelty. Thanks for a great video, Nik!

Basically, the more idle and complacent you are, the more problems your ADHD brain will create for you. But when you are doing things that matter, and when you are stimulated by a goal, you avoid the unnecessary negative energy

I've made a lot of changes over the last 6months. I've been able to spot the negative thoughts easier, because I've focused on keeping myself grounded and calm, regulated, it took a while. I've experienced these wake up and jump out of bed periods, in the past, now I realise what they mean. I have now engaged in a new big project. It's risky, but not totally impossible. I've committed too much now to walk away. I'm already thinking of the next project, to keep me fired up. I'm not going to engage with it till I've finished this one. It's exciting, I have more energy, focus, ability to plan logical steps. It requires funding I don't have, but I know I can raise it. The next one even more so. I'm confident that I'll do it. I can look at past achievements with pride now and remember that I made it happen, against the odds. For all our failures, abuse, exploitation, he's got a point. In some areas we do have an unfair advantage.

Stimulation issue Cause of negative self talk Attract/chase negative problems and drama Do you have a choice? Positive problems - challenges to master Your brain needs sth to do. Make fixing sth you do New things help you stay stimulated. Connect with people you can learn sth from You brain is stimulated by things it wants to do not. By interest. Not shoulds Find interest in growth. In any form Negative problems suck energy. Positive problems charge you up Leveling up in real life. Try an experiment for 30 days. Ask, what do you need to accomplish What interesting challenges will make you earn money, Interest, good at, make money. Intersection The journery isnt supposed to be easy. What kind of problems do you want to solve. Stop chasing stimulation. Just look for stimulation through growth

Wow, it feels like this video was uploaded for me when I needed it the most! This is exactly the message I needed to hear now. I WAS a person who was taking risks. I loved travelling which gave me the stimulation I needed. I had to stop because of covid and have been overwhelmed with anxiety and depression ever since. The past few years I've spent mostly sitting at home and blaming myself. And just a few weeks ago I relized I might have ADHD. It would explain so much. I've starting to accept myself for who I am. And I will start looking for plane or bus tickets. I KNOW I'll feel better once I get going. Thanks for the reminder!! P.s. You are/were in Split, right? It's a special place for me as I spent some time there after a huge life change. It makes even more sense now. If I was waiting for a sign, it was this video 😁

Negative self-talk combined with high opinion of others is such a handicap. I get reminded of it constantly but I can't break free from it. For example whenever I see a person who is confident about what they are saying, I tend to believe them and I don't voice my disagreements. I think, surely someone that confident can't be wrong about this? And yet they commonly are.

Then when things do cause problems, the other person seems to feel like I didn't fully express how having ADD REALLY was going to show up. Thank you!

But when I transitioned to a face-to-face job wherein I had a supervisor who checked on me constantly, I worked really well and even passed my output before the deadlines.. that was a really stressful job because there were a lot to submit but I enjoyed it coz it finally worked for my brain.. I realized by now that with ADHD, I crave a system, but I cannot make and sustain one so I have to have someone build and enforce that on me. Thank you so much.

For me my relieving moment was when I finally got in touch with the work as a barber. I'm starting my eduation this year and it's just perfect: relatively short term duties with fast showing results, a lot of movement throughout the day, problem solving to get what the client wants, creative output and available hyperfocus mode each and every time I got my sheers in my hand. I only got there by coincidence and I'm so fucking glad I did. So you guys I encourage you to try everything that comes to your mind finding your passion. Although it was a coincidence, it took me years to find out what I DO NOT WANT and all of that made it so easy to be confident enough to say this is what I want nearly all my life. Don't give up the path that might open up in front of you by not trying. Stay true to yourself, your desires and your values. It will help you a lot. And to be honest I'm still struggling with depression and anxiety as it is almost common cause with the experiences of an ADHDer. But this changed my life.
