Thank you for summarizing years of inquietude. I thought that I might have ADHD, but my "symptoms" started when I realized that I could never catch up to all the information that the Internet is presenting me daily. I wish I had a solution to let it all go. Anyone?
- ronyfadel 5y agoAcknowledge that there's no need to catch up to everything, and that you can narrow your interests to a few things that really interest you, and study them the old fashioned way, with no blinking lights.. just a book, some quiet time and possibly accompanied by a hot cup of coffee.
- rg111 5y agoI also started thinking if I had ADHD, but I still have one good habit surviving from single-digit age- reading books. Despite everything, I manage to read 25-30 books each year. And these books are always either very long novels or non-trivial, high-quality non-fiction. I also manage to get immediate works done through time-blocking, and pomodoro (don't need pomodoro for stuff I really like). But these techniques don't save you from being "reactive"- doing stuff that is needed right in the moment, and nothing else- behaving like primitive animals. I can get hard, intensive work done, read books, learn hard concepts, but still lack very seriously in long-term action-taking (used to be good at this before). Trying to solve these.
