Hi dude I got this problem with me where I can't remember things that are taught me in previous 15 to 20 min during my lecture Though I tried my best to focus on lecture... Still this thing happens to me Can u suggest me how to handle the situation BTW thank u.... Ur videos really helps me a lot
TLDR: I discovered kind of accidentally that I work very well and very hard for 1 hour and 50 minutes. I had set a 2 hour timer one day prior to a meeting. I stopped working because I was bored and discovered I was 10 minutes off of 2 hours. Coincidentally, I did the same thing a few days later. Exact same result: my brain said I'm done at 1 hour 50 minutes. I now set a 2 hour timer, stop automatically 10 minutes before it goes off and take that as a break. I also work from home as an independent contractor with --- luckily --- four clients. I rotate through all four clients each day and devote a half hour at the beginning and end of my day for organization, planning and pep talks, so I work more or less 8 hours a day, just in odd chunks. In between two hour segments, I'll go do laundry, make lunch, walk, do other household chores. I count those as side quests and find they last just as long as it takes to make a cup of coffee or heat up lunch. The ADHD have-to-get-it-done-before-something-ends kicks in and I take full advantage of it. I also take a nap occasionally -- which lasts just about 2 hours. It's created a very odd side effect feeling there are more than seven days in a week though. Some days seem very expansive, like I'm surprised to find it's still Tuesday, rather than days later, because I've done a whole bunch of 'things' and see progress, but I haven't yet given up on any one thing. There are other days where I just stay in bed and don't bother 😺
I appreciate this revelation. Thanks for showing how it works when you let yourself stop when you can't anymore. It seems so much more productive than struggling to continue when your mind has checked out.
@@Metqa I'm happy my weird ways are helpful. I have been trying -- and mostly succeeding -- to be very consistent with this. Part of it working, I think, is I know when I can take a break, many breaks. It's a mini-reward every two hours. And on days when I'm really struggling, I do push myself with some mind tricks. Like saying "it's only an hour" and then "oh, hey, that was okay. Now it's less than an hour. Easy peasy." There are some days with many, many little pep talks, but they are fewer than before. It's helped me understand when I can push myself -- and more importantly, how to push myself if I need to to meet a due date -- and when it's just time to give up and do something else. Or sleep. And because I am not concise: I have sleep-in Tuesdays. Not sure why that day -- probably b/c I work weekends and nights mostly -- I just stay in bed until I don't want to. It's another reward, so to speak, and having it semi-scheduled, I don't feel guilty when it happens. I have some chronic pain issues and one day a week with ice or heat and rest is usually a good thing anyway. And if I'm feeling pain-free and productive, then it's a win-win and I get more stuff done.
This vid, above all others I’ve watch from him, explains soooooo much to me…. My “superpower” is how fast I learn and how easy it is for me to retain it. BUT, if I’m forced to learn something (ie: required college course), I’ve learned how to “cram & dump.” I can shove stuff into my head for very short term regurgitation, then it just “evaporates.” I think in pictures. Doesn’t matter how the info is presented, if I HAVE to know it (it’s serious) or I’m interested, I easily constrict a picture. Once the picture is there, it’s forever.
@@le13579different colors for different topics. I also used them for different needed lists. To do list, grocery list, what I want to grow in my garden this year list, etc. Some days I make a compilation list of what needs to occur over the next couple of days, all color blocked by topics. Keeps me interested in it.
✨ Summary: - People with ADHD often struggle with consistency due to a brain wired for novelty and interest rather than importance. - Traditional productivity advice, which emphasizes trying harder, doesn't work well for ADHD brains. - Starting new tasks gives a dopamine boost, but motivation wanes when novelty fades, typically around week 3. - Three strategies can help maintain long-term consistency without anxiety and shame: 1. Play to Your Strengths: Recognize ADHD brains have peaks and valleys in abilities. Focus on strengths and outsource weaknesses to achieve better results. 2. Find Your Preferred Processing Modality: Identify your preferred ways of learning (visual, verbal, tactile, etc.) to keep tasks interesting and sustainable. 3. Work in Sprints: Use short bursts of work (e.g., Pomodoro Technique) to align with how ADHD brains operate best. Incorporate breaks to maintain novelty and prevent burnout.
I haven’t taken a break or lunch at work in over 2years. I and a store manager and have been working harder to delegate through my assistant and supervisors to keep from shouldering everything myself. It’s hard for me to utilize others to get work done.
I’m probably a more conceptual learner. Once I get the larger breakthrough on something, anything, it instantly becomes much more interesting which is when I watch videos and make visual aids for myself
Same!!! I like to be good at something. I noticed that I don’t like hard things and everything is hard in the beginning. But I have been doing intentionally hard things recently and I love it!!!!
When he said week three ... My jaw dropped because i juuust figured this out via tracking and was thinking about how to leverage that info to my advantage
Great stuff again !!! It so makes sense ....I do not have so many problems doing my work in the Office ( I am a clinical psychologist), because my Job is full of variety, every day is different, every hour is different....and I am helping the clients with their issues , and they are giving me very good Feedback, which is very fulfilling.....What I find challenging are my everyday household Tasks at home.....as soon that comes into my mind I find myself feeling almost immediately complete tired and exhausted. The same occurs with having to write long reports on my clients ....my eyes get so tired doing so.....
Same same. I guess I picked the right job (social worker with people with disabilities - never boring, always challenges) - but recently I don't find any energy to do household chores and paperwork.. its terrible...
You can hire someone for many of your home tasks. House cleaning or maintenance, yard care, dog walkers, home meal prep delivery, laundry service. Ordering your groceries online and doing curbside pickup on the way home. Lots of home tasks can be outsourced.
Im a butterfly or chameleon. I bounce through all the learning styles. The one that is most effective for me wasn't mentioned. That's teaching the information. I wanted to learn shibori fabric dyeing. Too boring. So I offered to teach a class. I learned so I could teach others. My 1st project was my class sample, made the night before class, of course. Great class, good results. I did the same thing for paper marbling. One of my students became a professional paper marbler. I never touched it again.
This one was fantastic! Thank you. The “firebreak” is something I’ve been doing for about 7 months now without even realizing it. I always go on a bike ride during my lunch break and have no idea where I’m going. I let the impulsiveness take the wheel (handlebars?) and end up seeing new places while also getting the mental boost from the exercise. That sometimes puts me in dicey situations with traffic, and/or being away from work longer than I should be..😅 but I also come back from the physical sprint ready for another mental “sprint” in the least novel environment imaginable.. on the phone in a cubicle.😂
Thank you for highlighting and visualizing the proclivities of our mind while we're trying to wrangle it. The firebreaks always felt like indulgences rather than re-ignition. Legitimizing it trickles down progress for our tasks. Thank you, my friend.
Nik! You are truly a God-send man! Thank you so much for your channel! I’m learning so much about myself. Broke down in tears yesterday morning finally realizing that nothing is wrong with me, I just think and see the world differently! Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!
Tip. If you have a slow laptop/computer, either max out the memory AND get an SSD for it or get rid of it. Waiting plus one and a half minutes for a page to load not only drives our type insane,but the diversion factors is crazy. I end up with a million tabs, and nothing solved. Trying to start a new AI related business has been crazy with this thing. Anywho Web3, chatgpts, and cryptocurrencies have been the time drainer so i can get something off the ground. New SSD and 8gb are on the way. Glad i found this channel. I'm constantly all over the place learning everything that pops up in RUclips. Forcing myself to get set financially in the meta verse. Ditch the slow computer, we think too much to be bottlenecked by loading pages....squirrel!😂😂
This video is amazing. 🎉 Firebreaks! This has been the missing piece for me. I do 25 minute intervals, but could never get back into it. It was painful. I would watch people do 45 minute intervals, take a 5 minute break and get back to work. I always wondered what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I do that? Now I get up and do something totally different and come back when ready. I just have to make sure I don’t scroll or do something too dopamine intensive. Or else I won’t have any left for more studies. 😅 Thanks and subscribed!
Hi Nik! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and tricks, how to live better with Adhd. Im watching your videos often. Even though few years ago I heard these four mysterious letters, still I didnt know that I would feel so many sympthoms in my life now. I remember myself during covid when I worked from home, and just simply couldnt start working, but somehow one day I realised that cant focus for so long when the work becomes extremely boring for me. I turned on my alarm and set it up for 30 minutes work, 10 pause, because otherwise I would forget to eat and drink when on the otherside the work was so interesting for me. After a month of watching your videos and reading some material about adhd, finally I understand one thing that make sense. Because I was born in another country than the one I grown up, I used to think that I act and think differently, because of my origin, but now I see that the real reason is - its just symphoms of adhd. Soo... danke schon für Ihre harte professionelle arbeit)
I’m a design draftsperson and my job involves a lot of 3D modelling and problem solving which I excel at. It also involves a lot of monotonous tasks like placing symbols all over sheets to represent certain pipe sizes etc. The day I started outsourcing these monotonous tasks to our juniors I started to enjoy work so much more and perform better because I didn’t always have that nagging in the back of my head.
I cannot try harder. It gives me a headache and shuts my brain down. Instead I will rest for an hour. Usually I get energy later in the day after supper. I have protein and this helps.
@@j.p.4658For english I learnd the most in school, than I learnd by watching youtubevideos and started reading on reddit and websides of topics that I liked in english. Now I nerly only watch youtube in english becaue there are so much better videos than in german. Now im at the level were I have fun to comunicate with people in english. Going into another country whould be pretty interessting to improve my english. I think its the fact that I learnd it more subcontuestly and by using it in practice by listening and reading instead of theoretic learning that has made it easy for me to learn. Wanting to watch the yoububevideos without constanly reading the subtitels gave me the motivation
@@j.p.4658A Video is also good for visual lerning because the video in the background often supports the thinks that are said. While the inuition subcontuestly connects the words and sentences to the picture to generate a logical meaning. But I still have problems with grammar
@@ISFPorINFPRobin For grammar I'd suggest Apps on your smartphone that are like games. Duolingo, Apps where you have a blank space in the sentence and you choose to put the word in the correct form, tests.
Telling me from the beautiful Marjan forest in Split (lived there for a bit!!) that breaks make things new again. Yeah mind blown! Thank you for this video. so so usedful.
you are helping me a lot by the way. thank you very much i have more than 8 hobbies and skills but i can't committed to one single hobby to make money. i was frustrated and my self esteem was getting low. but now Thank God Your videos opened my Eyes and changed my perspective
You did something consistently for 4 years?!?! Are you sure you're ADHD?!? I mean... I brush my teeth more than 4 years but the mint wakes me up. And that refreshment excites and comforts me daily. It frames my day.
Watching and listening to this video has really opened my eyes to my son's world. He struggles at school, with focus, but other times of the day in school, he can do fantastically. I would like to show him this video, but i am wondering if you could also do a school friendly, simpler version. As i know my son gets frustrated with himself over not being able to start things..he gets stuck! 😔 thank you for your content 👏👍😊
Some strategies that have helped me: do 5 things. Only five things (or 10, you choose). OR 10 minutes. So 5; items of dishes, or 10 minutes of homework. Setting a timer to see how much you can get done in 10 minutes. Also, fail faster. I can get so hung up on wanting to do a good job that I can't start. Plan to fail. Start out with the goal of failing. It gets you over the starting hump.
I am trying to understand my brain, because my thinking style is compartmentalizing my feelings and converting into language, thinking linguistically and can think in pictures extremely clear, but sometimes my brain function is so bad that I have trouble talking. I am diagnosed autistic as a little kid but I also relate a lot to adhd which I have a feeling people may assume that I maybe a hypochondriac for mental disorders though I am careful of saying that I have something.
It's just feels so scammy Nik. I hit the wrong button got booted from the webinar and when I went back in you told me it was still live and restarted.😂
I actually didn't like that either, but joined as there's 30 days money back guarantee and nearly 4 months later and several wins incl passing a car driving theory test with all right answers or loosing 10kg of fat, I'm very happy I ignored the 'scammy' feeling of the 'event' and learned that there's another way rather than just to struggle.. All the best to you and everyone wondering if they should join or not🙂
Yeah, tell me about that when you have to write a document for which you have to take input from different emails and a contract on a topic that you despise.
At the age of 45, I've become more of a marathon with firebreaks type of guy. No more sprints, stress, pressure: the job will.get.done. And that feeling of closure afterwards...priceless
Start something new Find easy ways Know your strengths and go after that than weaknesss(classic adhd strengths-priblem solving,enthusiasm, creativity,resilience,humor, intuition) Learning style-intrest
Verbal and conceptual totally; the problem with visual is that if you study really specialistic stuff (phisics, medicine) you won't find no Netflix or RUclips content that match your needs
I've only know for about a year that I have ADHD (I'm 36 now), so a lot of eye-opening events since then! By any chance, are you Belgian? It won't be obvious to anyone else, but your accent kinda reminds me of Flemish.
Please don't include screams or loud increased volume shocks in your videos. Thank you for considering this. Love your videos. Some people are listening with headphones 🎧 and some people are listening and trying to not wake up other people in the house, and don't like trigger shock volumes.❤
somatic learner. highly abstract concepts in electrical engineering, software design, psychohistory etc. need to somehow be integrated into dance for the dopamine to be granted and to stick with it.
hmm, whenever I watch these kinds of videos, I always find myself listening to the problems and thinking, yes, yes, yes, this sounds all too familiar, you understand me well, please sensei tell me how to cope, and then they are just coping strategies I already do and I get disappointed that there are no new strategies for me
Sir I love the work you are doing and I respect it , I need some advise to how can I calm my mind night before sleep ,for example when ever I close my eyes I feel like some lifetheretnig is going to occur to me I do not know is it from my ADHD or something else but it is quite irretating , if you can please help me.
You can easily sleep by playing audio according to your interest by setting the timer so that it can automatically stop when you sleep(it can be story , music, motivational, problem solving, religious) I personally prefer manifestation audio on loop it helps in many ways keeps me postiv ,goal oriented more focused more energetic , it changed my life compltly ☺️☺️
@@ShafiqIslam that's great! I was only saying that he didn't need to change the speed of his video because we can change it on our own. I am sorry if I came across as rude by any chance. Have a great day!
Okay, more 'firebreaks', got it. I'm also trying to overdose with B3 (Dr. Berg recommended 250mg six times per day for ADHD.). It's so painful to loose money because I'm not able to answer emails from customers, so painful. I still have hope of becoming neurotypical. It's a curse to be neurodivergent. Being hyper-creative and unable to monetize that talent - so frustraing. I'm willing to try anything to break my ADHD.
@@katiegriffin3286 Dr. Berg refers to Dr. Kaufman, who says B3 helps cells extract energy from food by aiding the NAD molecule in converting food into ATP (the energy currency of the cell). This process is essential for providing energy to cells, but B3 also helps improve focus and reduce hyperactivity by providing nerve cells with the energy they need, thus helping to calm the neurons and balance neurotransmitters. What doses to use? The recommended dose of B3, specifically in the form of niacinamide, is 250 milligrams taken six to eight times a day. This dosage is suggested to be effective for both adults and children. The video is one month old: ruclips.net/video/NCc-EvGcUn0/видео.html I did not read all coments, but I'm testing it on me. Will see. However, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for niacin (B3) are just 16 mg/day!!! So I don't think this is the whole story. More digging will be needed.

Telling me from the beautiful Marjan forest in Split (lived there for a bit!!) that breaks make things new again. Yeah mind blown! Thank you for this video. so so usedful.
you are helping me a lot by the way. thank you very much i have more than 8 hobbies and skills but i can't committed to one single hobby to make money. i was frustrated and my self esteem was getting low. but now Thank God Your videos opened my Eyes and changed my perspective
You did something consistently for 4 years?!?! Are you sure you're ADHD?!? I mean... I brush my teeth more than 4 years but the mint wakes me up. And that refreshment excites and comforts me daily. It frames my day.
Are YOU SURE YOUR ADHD
I really can't stop until I finish no matter what I do. Stay Uncommon!
You had me at "stop trying" 😃
I am an auditory learner, a dialogical learner, and a kinetic learner - which is learning through story.
I learn best through movement and inuition, but like to use all channels😊
This video is truly a remarkable piece of work. indeed.
conceptual and visual
9:38 Apparently, the stunning view associated with the concept of "break" made me cry... Maybe I need one actually
Watching and listening to this video has really opened my eyes to my son's world.
He struggles at school, with focus, but other times of the day in school, he can do fantastically.
I would like to show him this video, but i am wondering if you could also do a school friendly, simpler version. As i know my son gets frustrated with himself over not being able to start things..he gets stuck! 😔 thank you for your content 👏👍😊
Some strategies that have helped me: do 5 things. Only five things (or 10, you choose). OR 10 minutes. So 5; items of dishes, or 10 minutes of homework. Setting a timer to see how much you can get done in 10 minutes. Also, fail faster. I can get so hung up on wanting to do a good job that I can't start. Plan to fail. Start out with the goal of failing. It gets you over the starting hump.
Thank you for this advice.@@susansauceda9879
Love you ❤ and your content SO much, Nik.
You’ve helped me understand myself and be more productive.
-from a very late adult diagnosed ADHDer.
The content and the editing was a banger. Anyone know what music is used??
I am trying to understand my brain, because my thinking style is compartmentalizing my feelings and converting into language, thinking linguistically and can think in pictures extremely clear, but sometimes my brain function is so bad that I have trouble talking. I am diagnosed autistic as a little kid but I also relate a lot to adhd which I have a feeling people may assume that I maybe a hypochondriac for mental disorders though I am careful of saying that I have something.
Dobar dan! And thanks!
Subbed after seeing your Britta short 😁👍
Good for you it’s happen on week 3. Mine early at week 2 or 1&1/2😂
I love that you have a pomodoro body doubling video! I’m going to check it out!
Love the camera analogy 3:40
Great advice. Scheduling like this is easy when you are a RUclipsr. I’m a public school teacher. I’m stuck
Can you make a video about adhd medication? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's just feels so scammy Nik. I hit the wrong button got booted from the webinar and when I went back in you told me it was still live and restarted.😂
I actually didn't like that either, but joined as there's 30 days money back guarantee and nearly 4 months later and several wins incl passing a car driving theory test with all right answers or loosing 10kg of fat, I'm very happy I ignored the 'scammy' feeling of the 'event' and learned that there's another way rather than just to struggle..
All the best to you and everyone wondering if they should join or not🙂
I think visually and by askiing questions and doing things physically.
But I think maybe everyone is that way?
Yeah, tell me about that when you have to write a document for which you have to take input from different emails and a contract on a topic that you despise.
At the age of 45, I've become more of a marathon with firebreaks type of guy. No more sprints, stress, pressure: the job will.get.done. And that feeling of closure afterwards...priceless
Wow. The first 50 seconds of this video describe me completely. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Love this❤..thank you so much..I'll try not to work harder about this😅
I found the best channel today😊thanks
Start something new
Find easy ways
Know your strengths and go after that than weaknesss(classic adhd strengths-priblem solving,enthusiasm, creativity,resilience,humor, intuition)
Learning style-intrest
I might be more of a conceptual learner that understands through bigger pieces. I also need visual aids otherwise i can’t watch the video 😂
You are describing me very well!!!
You are awesome. Thank you a lot
Verbal and conceptual totally; the problem with visual is that if you study really specialistic stuff (phisics, medicine) you won't find no Netflix or RUclips content that match your needs
Good luck watching this video in full. NO I WILL !
1) Which video with one more technique is refered to at the end? I can't find it in the description. And 2) who is doing the awesome editing?
I've only know for about a year that I have ADHD (I'm 36 now), so a lot of eye-opening events since then! By any chance, are you Belgian? It won't be obvious to anyone else, but your accent kinda reminds me of Flemish.
I do it same way😊😊❤
oh wow you’re croatian?! I made a story with the first croatian superhero 11:17
04:33 My goal 😁
I like the music in the background... What is it? 👌🎶
Damn. I wanted to hate your channel but the information is so good. Thank you
Dang I switched to another video and realized what I did so I came back 🤣🤣
🎉this!🎉🎉🎉
Firebreake - awsome
Helpful... thank you
If only I could finish this video...
Please don't include screams or loud increased volume shocks in your videos.
Thank you for considering this.
Love your videos. Some people are listening with headphones 🎧 and some people are listening and trying to not wake up other people in the house, and don't like trigger shock volumes.❤
The music reminds me so much to "Rick's origin story song" from Rick and Morty :D
9:46 exactly me right now 🤯 😂😂😂
i like your vids they make sence the 3 week thing wow thats me
somatic learner. highly abstract concepts in electrical engineering, software design, psychohistory etc. need to somehow be integrated into dance for the dopamine to be granted and to stick with it.
Thank you
hmm, whenever I watch these kinds of videos, I always find myself listening to the problems and thinking, yes, yes, yes, this sounds all too familiar, you understand me well, please sensei tell me how to cope, and then they are just coping strategies I already do and I get disappointed that there are no new strategies for me
Maybe you are a pioneer? Forging the path for others?
breaks make things new again!!!
Fire breaks sound like a game changer! Will give them a go. Randomly sitting still is hard for obvious reasons
The closer you get to the limit, the more trying harder will just cause emotional dysregulation and/or distress.
You have permission to ask for help on your weaknesses.
Sir I love the work you are doing and I respect it , I need some advise to how can I calm my mind night before sleep ,for example when ever I close my eyes I feel like some lifetheretnig is going to occur to me I do not know is it from my ADHD or something else but it is quite irretating , if you can please help me.
You can easily sleep by playing audio according to your interest by setting the timer so that it can automatically stop when you sleep(it can be story , music, motivational, problem solving, religious)
I personally prefer manifestation audio on loop it helps in many ways keeps me postiv ,goal oriented more focused more energetic , it changed my life compltly ☺️☺️
And HOW do you get help when you struggle with communication 😢??
Krka Waterfalls❤❤❤❤❤
Realy good video
Great video but why dont u upload videos at 2X speed for us?
You can change the speed yourself
@@Lunar_harmony_001 yeah... Did that!!!
@@ShafiqIslam that's great! I was only saying that he didn't need to change the speed of his video because we can change it on our own.
I am sorry if I came across as rude by any chance.
Have a great day!
@@Lunar_harmony_001 no bro, I was just being funny. He knows ADHRs can maintain more focus on high-speed talking videos.
@@ShafiqIslam understood 😆
started to watch it but couldnt finish - its a curse not a gift
Pomodoro doesn't work for me - it doesn't trigger my focus and if I do have focus, taking an arbitrary break kills it.
Okay, more 'firebreaks', got it. I'm also trying to overdose with B3 (Dr. Berg recommended 250mg six times per day for ADHD.).
It's so painful to loose money because I'm not able to answer emails from customers, so painful. I still have hope of becoming neurotypical. It's a curse to be neurodivergent. Being hyper-creative and unable to monetize that talent - so frustraing. I'm willing to try anything to break my ADHD.
What is B3 meant to help with?
@@katiegriffin3286 Dr. Berg refers to Dr. Kaufman, who says B3 helps cells extract energy from food by aiding the NAD molecule in converting food into ATP (the energy currency of the cell). This process is essential for providing energy to cells, but B3 also helps improve focus and reduce hyperactivity by providing nerve cells with the energy they need, thus helping to calm the neurons and balance neurotransmitters.
What doses to use?
The recommended dose of B3, specifically in the form of niacinamide, is 250 milligrams taken six to eight times a day. This dosage is suggested to be effective for both adults and children.
The video is one month old: ruclips.net/video/NCc-EvGcUn0/видео.html
I did not read all coments, but I'm testing it on me. Will see.
However, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for niacin (B3) are just 16 mg/day!!! So I don't think this is the whole story. More digging will be needed.
Do you take stimulants ? Do you think they help ?
I googled Katie Friedman, fire breaks, but nothing came up.
Did you take meds or still do?
The background music in this video is so distracting. I can't concentrate 😢
I watched the next video that was in the description but it did not have your next tip. Very disappointed.
I have adhd and i can't complete the video😅
Having a hard time completing this video
What a visually stimulating way of saying unnecessary BS.
What makes you think it’s BS
And what ways do you have to cope with these issues?
