I just started crying during my study cuz I can't focus. That makes me anxious about my future. I couldn't even focus on this video either.
same I have exams coming up and I hate how long I take to turn the paper
Yes, I’m here after a crying meltdown because of my adhd
im here crying bc i have a presentation that i have to do and it was set 2 months ago and i’m only just starting now i wish i could focus i’m going crazy
tbf this video isn’t ideal for people with ADHD. I’m 4 mins in and there’s a lot of scene setting and I’ve already lost track of what the fuck he’s saying 😔
same. these meds i take ain't strong enough :/
I see that its 9 minutes long and get worried
SAME WITH ME!!!!!!!!
@@mackeyjaylozada2453 i put these type of long videos on 2x speed lmao
@@serena-bm2lx I DID THE SAME THING
When you can't focus long enough to watch a 9 minute video on how to focus😬
Watch at 2× speed
Oh my god why it kept cutting sound we needed
I almost trashed a pair of headphones because of this
@@williamcoleman496 I just broke my airpods
Shit likes this triggered my add
ADHD I can't understand what you saying. I get distracted by the comments
Watch in full screen! 😊
I'll try. But commercial make it impossible. 😔
*GREAT VIDEO I HAVE A FEELING ALOT OF ADHD PEOPLE ARE VISUAL LEARNERS SO THE METAPHORE HELPS SO MUCH MORE*
The best way I've found to focus is to have a show play in the background but make sure its a show that's boring enough to keep you from getting too distracted but still entertaining enough to keep your brain from getting too bored. Basically you want it to be like listening to a semi-interesting podcast that just gets rid of the silence in the room.
Note: Make sure its not a very visual show and something you can just listen to and still understand the story.
Nice distinction between lack of focus and prioritizing what to focus on. Such an important metaphor. I love how you walked through a "real issue from a real person" and so eloquently described how you helped your client overcome the challenge. His story is so relate-able to many of us ADDers!
Thanks, Andrea. 😃
I love this metaphor (form a professional viewpoint!) because it so clearly shows that the ADHD mind does not have a problem focusing, but it is forced to speed up to accommodate for the inexpedient mental strategies.
there is a tv in front of me and im on my phone watching this, in the first 3 mins i started focusing of the tv 3 times and i never realized until 10 seconds after
hm, for me its like, if I try and focus on a certain thing im doing my vision turns blurry, my attention focussing on small details around me, I notice all kinds of things, except the things I want to focus on.
It sucks bcuz I reallyyy liked the majority of this video-i liked ALL of it that I could HEAR anyway...but there was Alot of vital parts of it that I didn't get because the sound would cut out completely for like 20 seconds at a time! and i reallyy needed the missing links!
I could relate to the patients issue and the metaphor he used sooo much, I was really hopeful until it started cutting out the sound on such important parts-MULTIPLE times and always like mid-statement on something I really wanted to hear!!!😧
To state it in "metaphor":
Its like trying to solve a 100 piece puzzle with only 85 puzzle pieces, and no idea WHICH pieces are the missing ones!!! 😥 lol
I really hope he fixes it/rerealeases this video because I really want/need the missing information!
....Drove me nuts😲
I hear ya. Its like some cruel extra hoop to jump through just as someone starts telling me something that has put into words what I can't explain to all those around me and answer myself. I want to hear all of it, no I want to hear all of this video!!
I think that was on purpose to not distract people with adhd from the main idea
This is the best explanation I have ever heard! I would add that for me, my brain was clearly in unorganized mental world. Everything was scattered. This put a double burden on me in the sense that I had to clean two rooms in the morning: the one in my head and the one everyone else sees….
I understood nothing about how to practice this, and the lack of sound didnt help... I had to put it on x1'24 speed as well because you spoke so slowly I just lost track of the ideas
From my experience with ADHD, focusing in what I love isn't causing any problem. The problem come when I want to learn some thing new. For example, the photosynthesis processes, I failed to prioritize what to focus, and even I'm trying to learn one component if the whole, I'm getting distracted by the other unkowns part. Untill last week, I have found a technique that was helpful to me in high school. That is the 5W1H techniques. That helps me to prioritize what to learn .
Thank you for the video, and the invitation to interact. I really relate to this ‘many screen’ concept, although my own brain seems to be more about crisis management...I am constantly putting out fires. In fact, without crisis, the issue doesn’t get focus, which then creates a life where my entire existence is reactive vs responsive. Oh, how I long to get ahead of the blazes. How I would love to hop up and finish the job ahead of time, vs making the deadline/cutoff/flight/train just in the nick of time. My current strategy is to use the adrenaline created by an emergency (the clock, the class, the appointment, etc) to fuel me into action. And it’s an exciting challenges to see if I can ‘make it’ (although I am increasingly failing more often). Basically, I need to be able to light the fire underneath myself...and I do not know how. I do not no what strategy I can use to replace ‘last minute’ which will effectively get me to function. Your feedback would be so greatly appreciated!
The tv metaphor is really neat! When I was really little, when I first got diagnosed with adhd, I remember (or I was told later, I’m not sure) being asked what it was like and describing it as a lot of puzzle pieces and all my thoughts were everywhere, and they wouldn’t work together.
When I'm taking a test my mind wanders to all of those screens at different channels instead of focusing on the test alone! It'll start with trying to remember where I saw the answer on the textbook and then ill go on to what am I having for lunch, and if I shut off the coffee maker lmaooo and then ill remember im still taking a test and stuck on question #1
i feel this on a spiritual level!
Great minds are incapable of thinking alike however great minds think flexibly . Often I feel like I agree with some one by how they explain concepts but I find remembering to prioritise my focus is my issue
Grateful for your work Anders; this video triggered a potential (Electrical Engineering) explanation from my experiences. This sounds like a task switching [time-window] issue between multiple signals of differing intensity. As memory focus (interest) fades, the signal becomes weal to the point you can’t follow it back (quiet the mind is important). I believe you can only switch when the signals are strong enough to follow (Tune in). Sorry for the technical language, I would need to draw one of my visuals for another way to translate my thought visualization.
Such few subscribers and views, criminal really considering how great his content is
For me it’s the metaphor of my unlimited desires only cloud my inner peace .
OMG! He talks SO slow!
But his speech is great I talk at the same pace but my adhd kinda scrambles my thoughts so it makes forming sentences a pain
Just set the video speed to 1.5 worked perfectly for me. My brain enjoys that speed for some reason.
Seems fine to me
I set it to x2
@@lyteyearz5810 Yes.
Thumbs down just feels like you’re censoring the important info.
I haven't heard anyone say "thumbs down" in years. Beautiful.
This whole video is what I go through every day and the job part is so true I can never focus and keep a job and it makes my life really hard
Such a fabulous metaphor that speaks to the ineffective mental strategy I've used for most of my life. I'm going to watch this video again on another device because the audio kept cutting in and out and I missed alot of how the client transformed his strategy.
Wow. That metaphor is on point!!! . Now I have to back video up to catch solution 😂
Super helpfull. Thanks!!
Just want to share a strategy I've just implemented and find helpfull. I set a tasker action on my phone and tablet, to launch my spreadsheet for logging my activity over the last 25 minutes. With the spreadsheet open it is so easy to enter a brief desription of my activity of the last 25 minutes. This makes it obvious whether or not I was on priority and what I should do next. I take 5 and then get back to it .... The Pomodoro technique. Form me the successful metaphor is heads up display. I can't refocus myself, but this helps a lot because it's showing up "on the front screen".
I also use extensive google home routines to guide me through a morning and evening routine. It would be really cool if there is a forum for sharing google home (alexa, or any smart speaker) routines for ADHD support. The content is not so difficult to set up, rather it is structuring routines with effective language structure, pauses, triggers etc.
So long and thanks for your video!
Hi Anders, I think mine are not so much strategies, but ways that I visualise tasks.
I have 2.
One is like fractals - I have one thought or idea, which will have an offshoot that will also be important or add value, the offshoot gets it's own offshoots and so on until I am swamped by them.
This also applies to looking ahead and trying to foresee outcomes.
The second metaphor is task based and is a bit like trying to put away a loose CD that I find on the table - I go to the shelf and find the right CD case, but wait.
This case has a CD in it already that needs returning to it's correct case. So I search for this case, and sure enough, the wrong CD is here too.
So I can never finish putting the CDs away until they are all in their correct places, when all I wanted to do was tidy up a little.
For me I find myself unable to do more than 1 thing at once as if I attempt 2 procedures they will both fail . But what I find hardest is remembering to focus on my current priority .
Best way for me was to scroll to middle of the video, wonder what he was talking about, then start it again and I'm on meds in this moment, and doing something else. I need some visuals and bullet points... this is too abstract for me.
Holy moly that’s so true about the tv channels
Great metaphor
I understand
Thanks for the video, your such a geezer for doing this.
I hope I'm not the only one who is trying to read your lips, when the sound was off... Was that your strategy to keep us focused?.. If yes, it worked for me..... the sudden change in the flow, helped me to come back at the moment. THANKS
the fact that im looking for these at 00:12 AM is already proofing that have adhd right?
I’m doing it at 2:00 am😭😭
My adhd is so bad I couldn’t focus on the video
I wish I knew how he could focus, but the audio keeps cutting out
you dont get rid of it you learn to control it ( :
I am playing a Video game as a part of a Championship and I just can't focus for more than 20 seconds, and then I crash everytime
audio is off. good points tho
I am not diagnosed with anything, however, I relate a lot, my mind is rather a pinball machine. I start a lot and struggle with focusing and finishing a task. University is starting to force me to be aware of my inner monologue and strategy. I get stuck a lot in thinking, fantasizing and dreaming. So even when I focus I lack a doing aspect. Any tips on that?
The audio keeps cutting out
i like what you said mostly but the editing was annoying . lack of audio why not cut the video as well?
I know. Sorry. I don’t have the original video anymore and RUclips doesn’t let you edit like that anymore.
I am struggling to watch the video :(
WE ALL ARE
Great stuff - I really like your approach - albeit a little unconventional! As a suggestion, maybe you should talk a little more about the "faster than normal" approach that Peter Shankman alludes too. This view of having a special talent with ADHD certainly gets one's confidence levels up after having been led to believe for so many years that the problem is one's fault...
+Alan Duncan-Brown Thank you. I agree, it is unconventional. And I think that's what's needed to break the paradigm of ADHD as something negative. Traditional methods are clearly not doing it alone.
I love Peter Shankmans work and was festured on his podcast this spring in episode 54. Check it out! 😃
www.fasterthannormal.com/ftn-054-how-to-change-your-outlook-on-life-with-anders-fabech-ronnau/
Yes - I agree one needs to shift the paradigm - so stay with it I like your video's very much. And yes, I listened to episode 54 that's how I found your show.
Awesome. I will stay with it, and thank you for the support! 👍😃🙏
I have to read books for school and I can't focus on reading.
The audio in this video is choppy
I tried to watch it but the sound cutting out was driving me nuts and you were talking to slow. I get frustrated as I need you to get to the point. Please fix the sound and repost it.
What’s happening with the audio
Ok, so I listened well, i bought four little TV screens + a giant one and hanged them up on my wall but it doesn't seem to be helping so I think you may be a liar
I completely forget that like the other 12 monitors even exist lol.
true adhd ppl never got thru this video
How to help kids, with this strategy..
Talk to them about what their inner experience is. Play around with the metaphors that pop up. The important part is to actually take whatever comes out of your child's mouth as the truth about what is going on inside of the child.
And go sign up at TransformingADHD.com and I'll send you more info. Course material coming up for parents.
Thankyou so much for the response. I will surely check that out
Find strategies for communicating better. Succinctlt and clearly.
I zoned out at 55 seconds bruh 😔
Sorry I can’t your voice it’s to slow and soft
1.5x speed my friend 😂
put the vid on 1.5 speed
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about how can i focus my mind try Tarbally Focusing Finder Tactics(just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got great results with it.
What in the world? He never got to the point.
Trying to get to the point of this video when you have ADD is ridiculous.
I've watched (or struggled to watch) a couple of his videos now. I'm not going to try again. I don't understand why he's chosen to work with people with ADHD: he clearly doesn't understand how we think or how we access information.
Cheers for this, I have been researching "what can i take to help me focus?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Siydolonar Subjective Superiority - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for learning how to focus your mind and become awesome without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
medication is the only route, adhd is a curse that has ruined my life.
do you really think im gonna watch a 9 minute video abou you talking about someone else
This is a pretty terrible video.. It's like you're trying to make it harder to follow for people with ADHD.
You can see it in some of the comments as well.
Specifically what could have been better:
1) If the point of the video is to "think about your mental strategies" - that should be the title and you should put more ephasis on it than the story
2) more visual (using a matephor? make a graphic)
3) Make the information more concise
4) No weird audio dropouts throughout
Absolutely useless. What is needed a process, like a workout, that activates that part or parts of the brain to strengthen focus. I don't care about the stories. People with ADHD and live with someone with ADHD experience it every day. Provide the tools or don't bother recording a video.
