I have no discipline of the superego variety— but when I realize I will let someone else down, I become motivated and focused. I’m learning Linear Algebra now by working with a self-described ADHD colleague. We are 150 pages in and actually doing the homework. I wrote about an approach called “Bold Boast” in my book on coping with my particular mentality (which led me to quit high school, but also led, a few years later, to managing a team at Apple). I feel like everyone else has a powerboat, but I am forced to sail by the wind. Anyway Bold Boast means you publicly commit to achieving a learning or teaching goal that involves a presentation or visible product. (see Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar, which I believe you find pirated online here and there)
