7 minutes in and... I have the fidget, I want the new one, I have the timer, the AirTag and EXACTLY THAT GAME.... Love this guide already, so accurate!
Best gift was a door lock with a code in case I forget my keys (double points they installed it, so it didn’t sit in the box for months 😊) Other things I love that I put on my Christmas list, Everyday Dose Mushroom coffee and Stimagz.
For notebooks, purchasing a writable eink tablet, specifically the reMarkable, changed the game for my adhd. reMarkable in particular is very good about avoiding distractions and just being a paper surface, which is huge for adhd imo. It avoids the "can't mess up the nice moleskin" effect because you have undo and infinite new pages, and being able to externalize my reasoning at work made it possible for me to jump from developer (just build thing in front of me) to architect (use my ability to quickly grasp abstract concepts and fit things together to design software).
Rocketbook did the same for me. I am free of notebook anxiety now and actually write things down instead of waiting until I have time/space to do it neatly and inevitably forgetting...
Jesse - you are a national treasure!🤩 Love these ideas and love how relatable you are as you expertly describe how people with ADHD experience life, along with providing helpful, fun and thoughtful suggestions. THANK YOU for all you do for the ADHD ‘community’!
I like that you put community between dots: '...'. A lot of the time, the media speak about things like 'the lgbt+ community', while it often is just a label, and I'm not responsible for what other people with the same label may say.
The anti planner is currently on sale! $10 off. I got one and love it! It helps me figuring out the reason why I'm not doing what I want to be doing. And it was my first big clue that I might have ADHD (I got it this summer, as just another planning solution and because I loved the images)
Having a wake up light alarm clock has really helped me get up in the mornings. Mine lights up more and more a half hour before it makes any noise. Was if pricey yes does i work yes. Also I can set 2 different times on it so if I do not want to get up yet or later in a weekend I have options and do not mess up my working days time setting.
Good call on the fidget. I am more of a rubber band-stretcher, but always on the lookout for something less explosive/comedic when the fidgeting is more than the rubber band can take
omg I just impulse bought light glasses cus I've been struggling with the exact same issue, you might have just helped me with my lifelong sleep deprivation, thank you so much Jesse (loved your book btw!!) 💜
Those look like good books. How To ADHD is now a “Best seller” i just found out. New printed books will have it written at the top. I have ENDEL it’s not amazing but I like it at times,

Thanks I have no fidgets I can’t find one I like yet.
Also two great books are “dirty laundry” and “small talk” by Richard and Roxanne Pink aka ADHD_love. 😊 Thanx for the ideas. I was looking for some inspiration for someone else and found things I was to have 😂😅
Thanks for the book list! Recently, an MD and translator of psychiatry books was surprised that someone with an adhd diagnosis prefered books. But for me, audiobooks are terrible. I need books to concentrate by making notes. What else is a library for but to be able to have books with personal notes?
I am exactly the same! Books involve more "active" focusing with having to trace the text and flip the pages. Audiobooks are more of a passive content consuming and it's soooo easy for my mind to just wander off.
Damn, I paused the video and went straight to the link for the portal app and it's apple ecosystem only, bummer ;( Anybody knows a valid alternative for windows? It might have also just doubled up as the video backdrops for d&d sessions that I have been looking for! noooooo I'm super disappointed
You can replace the batteries in a Tile Pro, but not in the Tile Mate which is the version I show in the video that's cheaper than an AirTag. The Tile Pro is actually (slightly) more expensive than an AirTag, but it does work with Android and let you replace the battery.
Man left for almost a year and came back with a banger

Water bottle - check!
Water bottle with magnets - it’s like HydroFlask and Yeti knew I needed something more than basic hydration

thanks, Daniel! Do you have any amazon link to the one you have?
Great suggestion! I have a reMarkable tablet and love it. It's expensive but so nice for what it does.

Where did you get it?

It’s a fidget ring I have so many of them and they help so much
Nice! Is there a particular one you'd recommend?
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Wow! This is so great! Thanks for these ideas-I could relate to every single one of them, and I’ll be passing this video on to my other half.

Thank you
Oh and that coffee cups i miss place my coffee all day everyday.
Thanks
I have no fidgets I can’t find one I like yet.
Thank you
No problem, glad it was helpful!
my favorite fidget toy must be the case of my ipod pro2. But yes, it is a little loud. but I will try the newton asap.
The AirPod case? I use that one for fidgeting a lot too, since I always have it in my pocket.
Dani's book is awesome. It's such a shame it's been stolen and resold by so many scammers

Great recommendation! Rich & Rox are awesome.
I’d be buying for myself. None around is interested in my adhd or how it works or doesn’t work.
Yes I also don’t want to write in my pretty notebooks.

Incorrect. You can replace batteries in a TilePro. Also, you can’t use an AirTag with Android.

The Tile Pro is actually (slightly) more expensive than an AirTag, but it does work with Android and let you replace the battery.
