    1. Self Acceptance. (Couldn't agree more!) 2. Success brings clues. A why. Novel. Social support. A plan. 3. Consistent health / wellness routine via ingrained habits. Sleep, excercise, hydration. Manage your energy. 4. Weekly routine / rhythm. Take guesswork out of what you do. 5. Avoid picking up new things until the old thing is done. Helps avoid overwhelm, reduces need to prioritise, and so limits decision paralysis. 6. A system that works for you

    OK I do this... Here is my work around. I buy pack of mini moleskin journals. One journal per book and rubber banded together when not in use. I don't try an remember anything and give myself permission to stop at any point. Some books I only need whats in a chapter or 2. As, I move through the book I make a very simple note of the concept and page # in the book that I need - maybe write down my thoughts or questions to think on later. That's it and go back to it as needed. I get overwhelmed easily and then get mad because I had a really good thought or question but lost it because I had nowhere to put the thought. Still refining my process but now my books have a thought journal and I'll never forget.

    I'm definitely a procrati-learner. The big problem is when I go down a rabbithole for something I think will help me reach my goals, but it ends up taking so much time that I realize I'm just treading water. I'm finding that turning off the wi-fi unless I have an actual purpose for being online is really helping. Today, anyway.

    Yes. Doing certain things on certain days is the key.

If I pick up the groceries instead, Meal Prep Mondays. This has been so helpful. Cheers.

    I think this is one of the most useful ADHD video's I've ever watched. At not one millisecond did i feel even slightly put into a box I didn't like, and at every time I felt like I got real, good, actually tested and approved by you, tools and strategies. The planning out a set day for daily and weekly things is great, the asking "what's important", and, oh, the accepting of where I'm at (!), the not starting new things before what I've decided to do is put into action already, the having a wellness routine (!!). And probably more ❤️ oh yeah, thank you 😊🧡

    The biggest helpful reminder from this video was when you mentioned that you had a coach for your fitness competitions. It reminded me how important "body doubling" is for ADHD. I am self-employed and most of my work does not have a deadline, so I have such a hard time getting the tedious things done. It also helps in my personal life - fitness, house cleaning, etc. Thanks for the reminder.

    Now that I'm on medication, I've learned I can "brain" again, be creative and focused again, but not two days in a row. Im trying to arrange my life (the parts I can control, anyway), so I can "brain" one day, then do less brain-heavy stuff the next, and set up a schedule, basically. Getting stuff done and moving forward every other day is infinitely better than no days. 😊

    Thank you for this video! I am frequently faced with 20+ tasks and projects that I have a very difficult time prioritizing. I have learned to track them and keep them "on my plate" all the time, and I recently loaded these tasks into an LLM and it actually helped me prioritize them based upon organizational impact and my job/role, which helped me prioritize because of course, executive function is weak with us. I'm not used to asking my bosses/leadership for help with prioritizing (not sure honestly I would get the help, they also seem overwhelmed), but using an LLM helped a little. This is important but not urgent stuff though. Urgent tasks are easy to complete for me (avoid a crisis/damage), but non-urgent important is very difficult for me to prioritize.

    I really struggle with prioritizing what's really most important - not what I think is most important. I'm the sole bread winner in my family - and I'm an online creator. I'm pulled in so many directions, it is hard for me to stop and say - what are the things that are going to make a BIG difference in moving my business forward instead of making me feel 'busy' when that productivity is a lie. I'm a huge procrasti-learner (YT is my vice more than courses), and my FOMO of what to drop to give myself space to actually work in the space I need to work on is really my hardest thing right now. That and the inevitable time suck that is YT when you can't get out of the hyper-focus. I just found your channel not long ago, so I'm trying to watch judiciously and not get lost, but I find myself relating a lot! I'm newly diagnosed ADHD (though have known it for a while), so learning to manage it on top of everything is now a thing, too.

    Good video, I've just subscribed. I've achieved big academic goals such as a degree, learning 3 languages to a professional level, a professional postgrad qualification for my previous career which was absolutely grueling, and a distinction in a college course for my new career. My issue has been not knowing how to transfer my study skills to be successful in work/business. I also think in some ways it was easier to be successful 10-20 years ago due to the lack of distractions. A lot of modern day success is about being disciplined not to watch reels, shorts, KZread all day. I'm going to check out Notion now, I keep hearing people mention it.

My head gets so overwhelmed with procrastination, that I just get tired before I begin and end up losing yet another day,week or even month. I think I could really use everything you have to offer. But if I were to choose one, it's the one thing I have to do every day that would really help me. So, I'm going to start there. I love your video. I think you're a Goddess sent from heaven to help people like me. I am an artist, I have a beautiful studio, I have stuff going on .... Who doesn't.but, I haven't painted since last Summer... And I beat myself up about it regularly. I honestly could do with private coaching sessions with you if that is something you do. I'm truly stuck. But, for now. I will do the one thing a day for starters. Sorry for the long message. Have a great day. ❤

    Hi Caren. Thank you so much for the great content! I'm really resonating with the procasta-learner thats so totally me - I currently have more than 10 courses open that I still intend to finish and I'm mid way through signing up for another course (I started the sign up 2 days ago but got distracted)! I'd really like an accountability series if possible. I'm thinking a video with 3 tips to overcome an adhd issue (perhaps with a worksheet), viewers choose a tip to implement and use the comments section to commit to action it for the next 2 weeks, stating why its important to them and what change they are hoping to achieve. Viewers can then come back to the video and reply to their comments each day stating whether they achieved the aim or not for that day and also give and receive motivation from others. It would create a community space around the video and support the actioning of the advice. You'd also get lots of comments on the videos which would help get the advice seen by more people. 😊

Mom was also scary, so it was motivation enough 😂😂😂 but both my parents have passed away for a while now (mom’s been 6yrs), so it’s like there’s no one to be scared of lol. and it’s also gonna be close to a decade I have been to the US and feel like I can’t adjust OTL so it’s like.

My plan is to make my own AI that can buy things from the internet to deliver food & essential things for living, A real time Text to speech that tells me when to anything like taking out the trash. So far it has been headache after headache thanks for helping :D

    First, Thanks for great content! I will finally try to plan my week how you suggest-certain days for certain activities. Any tips on how to handle if let’s say Monday is for finances and you just happen to be in quite a fog that day or low energy? Move to another day or to plow through?

    I might argue that we ADHDers get more creative work done than the neurotypicals. We can do it all…OK, yes, with systems, routines, structures, supports, and a drop of divine intervention❤❤ Thank you for this video!!!

    The ADHD parts resonated with me, but the way you get productive doesn't hit for me, and maybe it's bc I'm stuck. I use to be a productive person. I need help, someone to hold my hand maybe. Your routine for productivity and very similar to my sister and how she does things.

    How do you start a routine when you aren't in motion for it? Like an example is let's say I wanted to wash my hair every two days. How would you do that? Because at day two it's not actually dirty yet so there's no motivation yet but by day 3 it's not a good look. How would you implement a routine when you have no motivation and you aren't in motion?

    Heeeeelp! Some ADHD brains tend to have a hard time falling asleep bc the quiet is when imagination goes nuts - kinda like when u come up with ideas in the shower bc lack of distractions. I feel like EVERYTHING hinges on my sleep and I cannot get control of this area - I’ve tried for 4 years now!

    When I was productive the thing that helped was having someone do all the day-to-day tasks for me. The housework and cooking really weigh on me and suck up so much of my time, and the place is still a mess. I can’t keep up with entropy. No matter how many times I explain it to my cats, they steadfastly refuse to help me with the housework.
