For me what has worked is just always having the same kind of moleskine notebook and pencil and just starting my day by listing all my to dos. I check calendar, email and scan my memory and write it all down. The other big thing for me right now is reducing time spent producing and editing KZread vids. I now outsource my edits and keep them to the super duper basics. Switching format to podcast has been a game changer. We should talk sometime.

Ok this video is 3 months old, which is ancient history on the internet, but with ADHD 3 months is both ancient history AND like earlier today. Anyways, I just watched the video so it's new to me. I'm an ADHD freelance illustrator so this all hits really home for me. Lately I've been getting into timers during my day just to help me recognize that time is moving. I'll make an estimate of when I think I can finish something I'm working on that day, and use the timer to help keep me from getting too distracted or hyper focused while I work. Through out the time block I'll check the timer, and at various points think "wow, I'm right on track," then "Damn, there is NO WAY I am finishing by when I set that timer!" and then finally "Cool, I think I'm done. Oh I still had a half hour before my timer would have gone off! Awesome!"

Hey thanks for this! Your comment is super helpful for me right now because I've been bad about using my timers and just drowning in hyper focus. I'm going to try to get back on track with my timer.

I just discovered your account, this is the third video I'm watching and holy f, I relate to basically every point you made. I got diagnosed as an adult as well and took a deep dive into learing about ADHD, productivity systems and so on - the one thing I learned is: Don't force it. Learn how your brain works, learn what motivates you and especially learn how to trick yourself lol. But don't try to force yourself to keep a certain schedule or productivity system if you feel like you are suffering from it. It's a long journey (I say this as if I had figured everything out myself, absolutely not) and there will be Ups and Downs, but along the way you'll find yourself as a person. That being said, I hope you are doing well and wish you and your family the best!

I relate to this so much. My freelance art career was up and down for decades. Always trying new things to stay organized and be more productive. It became a joke because I always thought the next thing was going to be the answer. Nope. In my 50s I finally found I had ADHD. Still causes problems but knowing it’s a neurological thing helps me at least feel better about myself even if I fail at something. Thanks for this video.

Hi, I have been a freelancer since the pandemic began, and while searching for new iPad Pro videos, I stumbled upon your review. After subscribing and binge-watching many of your videos, I can genuinely relate to most of the challenges you’ve described. I’ve always thought I was broken and a failure, struggling to fit in perfectly and be like every person I work with. It’s extremely hard and mentally demanding. The way you identify those points and describe them exactly how I feel is surprising to me, and it makes me feel understood and relieved-I’m not alone. Thank you for your quality content, and please keep doing it.

I have adhd, diagnosed after age 40, and was an illustrator though mostly in a company doing info graphics so also a lot of design and I had work mates to help me stay on track. Then I had 3 kids in 2 years (twins and a spare) and took about 10 years off. Helping at their school, I realized I loved school and kids and teaching, so I got a transitional certification and have been teaching high school photography and design for almost 2 years. It’s like having deadlines every 40 minutes! One class in the other out, I set deadlines for them (which are also for me) and I get to see all their awesome ideas (& the not awesome ones, for contrast) plus I’m a part of a team again, with 2 other art teachers. Nothing in my story to really help you but this was all leading to a) my biggest struggling is rambling when I communicate and telling stories with 15 different paths that I lead people halfway down and then jump to an adjective path, and b) I share your inability to gauge time, both how much has past and how long something will take. So my first year teaching I moved project deadlines 8mil times because the kids were my Guinea pigs on how long a project should take. They were good sports. It’s gotten better this year now that I’ve used some of the same projects and usually remember how it went because I write a “teaching journal” in my notes app on the iPhone. It’s a long unorganized list of what worked and what to change but it helps. I also love my Time Timer which is a physical timer that has a colored window that shrinks as the time passes, so I can see how much longer I have left. Long reply sorry but I’m a big fan and have used two of your projects now in my graphic design class - 8-page zine and the repeating pattern lesson. The kids loved them! Thanks for being awesome and sharing your “life hacks”

Thank you so much! I can’t imagine teaching anyone younger than college age. I’ve been teaching a class a semester for juniors/seniors (college) for a long time, and that seems like cheating compared to teaching actual kids. Anyway, thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed my video!

Same for me with deadlines. I tell people that I need a deadline , even if I have to come up with myself and tell them what it is and when to expect it by. I also found on recent projects that it's helpful for me to give them a loose outline of "phases" of the project. That sorta forces me to check in with them between them hiring me and me finishing. I have found that not regularly communicating also can become and "out of sight, out of mind" thing for me.

I don't have ADHD but the video was very insightful even so. "To make your career through the roof" was undoubtedly my favorite part of the whole video. 🤭The bit with the acoustic panel freaked me out so much, though because I am so jumpy. 😳 Personally, I think your youtube channel is a good idea. 🧡

This is the best video I have seen on KZread. I am in my early 40s and was diagnosed with ADHD in the 7th grade and back then there wasn't much to teach kids how to live with it let alone thrive. I was kind just made to believe I was a bad kid that didn't pay attention. With that said I have always loved art and always had these dreams for my art but never followed through and mainly because of most of the things you said in this video. Even now at my age I find it easier to make excuses and not do what needs to be done which then will lead to depression and nothing gets done. Watching this video really made me feel like the dream I have had since I was a kid is possible and that people like me can do this. Thank you for what you do.

Holy jeez, this is way too relatable to me. I recently got into time blocking and that’s been helping me a tiny bit. I do feel like I’m more productive.

Might as well put the ol inDesign experience to use and add all of these things to Etsy, right? Anyway, I’ve only been doing this time blocking business for a week, so we’ll see how it goes.

I also use a lot of timers and reminders, with Alexa, and set alarms and set reminders on the iPhone. I’m recovering from my 3rd and very serious concussion. What I’ve learned as a mid lifer is that it’s ok not to deal with things or say to the person (I’ll get back to you). That’s ok. 👌 and make a reminder to get back to them.

I can be in the middle of it and be semi-aware of how much time it's taking, but as soon as it's over, I'm like "oh IDK, that was probably only like an hour or two tops" then I look at the clock and it's 8 hours later...

WHEN something you HAVE to do (Like check on that Amazon order, amirite?), ADD it to the list! This way, you get the satisfaction for adding it to a list (dopa hit), and it does not distract you from the shit you get _paid_ to do. I got this from Maggie Enterrios, and it rocks.

With my full time job I feel like I have no time to work on just art, I get home eat and rest for the first hour and I only have about 2 hours if I’m not dying of exhaustion(my job is being a daycare teacher for toddlers). I try to sketch and draw and sometimes I cant even do that or is basically nothing. Is a miracle I get anything done and even when I’m done it doesn’t feel like it.

I can’t imagine how exhausting that must be. I have a 20 month old, and just hanging out with him can be a lot. Does your drawing process involve a lot of set up? Maybe if you can simplify it to the max you’ll be more likely to squeeze it in. For example, I do nearly all my drawing on an iPad. When I’m sitting on the couch at night after the kid goes to bed I’m usually drawing while watching TV for a couple hours.

Hey Chris! Thank you for sharing. I can relate to what you are going through. I've want to be a fine artist/graphic designer since my junior high school days. I have had a difficult time staying focused on learning the basics of drawing and mastering it. I start a drawing idea and not finish it just to start something else. Some days I can't even think of anything to draw, what colors to use, coming up with my style, and so on and so on. And don't get me started on trying to learn the adobe applications. That's a train wreck. So any tips or suggestions for someone that understands my situation will be appreciated.

The longer you do this kind of thing the easier it gets. Ideas come easier, and you get faster and better. It's not for everyone-but I owe my entire career to it.

Now that we are almost in 2023, that gives me quite a bit of anxiety, because all this time of 2022 feels a bit wasted, because I did not have a lot of projects, because I'm not where I would want to be … even though if I were to look back precisely on every thing that I did this year, I think I would probably be kind of ok with myself? maybe ? note sure.

OMG CHRIS!!! I RELATED TO EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO! I thought I was a broken creative for a long time because I had fellow creatives either not have these challenges or not vocalize them. I felt so alone-but seeing this video honestly brought happy tears to my eyes. Especially the part on the perception of time. I admire/respect your work, skills, and personality so much. Thank you for making me feel seen and a little less broken about my ADHD! 💜💜🥹🥰✨💕💕

I’m so glad my video was able to make you feel better! You’re definitely not broken! We just work a bit differently 😉❤️

@@chris-piascik Thank you so much!!! 🥺 And also, congratulations on 2K!!!

If you ever ask yourself whether this channel is a waste of time again, please make a note (now) to look back in the comments of this video and know you're doing something by showing up and showing us we're not alone. And some of us are grateful for that because maybe, just maybe it will help us not be so hard on ourselves for feeling challenged and overwhelmed by what "should" be simple tasks and processes 🥲🙏
