    As it turns out, when we design systems and structures to accommodate neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, etc.), everyone benefits, with the bonus of helping us ND folk get on more even footing. Sadly, the opposite is NOT true. We definitely need more content like this, thank you!

    Here's a suggestion for chapters for this video
    00:00 -> 03:25 notifications
    03:26 -> 05:55 Apple product focus features
    05:56 -> 07:20 sponsor ad
    07:21 -> 09:22 Drafts app (capture)
    09:23 -> 10:37 automate
    10:38 -> 12:57 hardware (IPad, noise canceling headphones)
    12:58 -> 13:57 clean workspace
    23:58 -> 14:29 outro
    And a suggestion for updated video title:
    "Top 5 Software and Hardware for Improved Productivity (Fighting ADHD)"
    The title is highly misleading, and not in a click-bait-y way.

    as someone who has both dyselxia and adhd, i admit having less or non-essential notifications turned off is a must. also minimising apps on the homescreen - keeping essential apps on the home page. this greatly helps reducing procrastination and improve focus.

  • @REChief
    @REChief 2 года назад +26

    Focus modes are really great. Instead of just angrily swiping at my notifications over and over again when they’re coming in super fast, I can just… shut the nonessential off temporarily and enjoy the silence. It’s really helped with my anxiety.

  • @sploo1012

    Today, I’ve implemented your methodologies for notifications, shortcuts and Focus modes - and for the first time in I don’t know how long, I am really focusing at work. My productivity is already up and it’s only been a few hours. Just know that what you’re sharing really impacts lives. Please keep the content coming. Thank you!

    I live with Multiple Sclerosis, over the years my cognitive function has significantly declined. Especially when there is a lot of distractions around me.
    Focus is no gimmick! It really comes in handy, same with the VIP Notifications in Mail. Shortcuts Automations come in handy, I don’t have a “Smart Home” lol but the fact I can set DND or other Shortcuts automatically when doing specific tasks really comes in handy.
    Great video! 👏🏼 👏🏼

    Lists! The more you can list out the repetitive stuff involved in projects or subprojects or literally anything else, the less you have to distract you as you invariably (a) wonder at the next step, or (b) wonder whether you forgot something.

    Another great video! Thank you for being open and honest about your struggles with being focused. Your channel has helped me so much!!! Over the year I’ve set up various shortcuts for medications and also have been using focus modes to great success with the integration of custom triggers for timery, again based on your advice. Thank you Chris!!!!

    The whole "it makes you focus on only one specific task at a time" is why I never got why people complain about their phones being distracting, I find I focus better when I'm ON my phone vs my PC. it's why I've basically turned my PC into an android tablet and use an android VM like 75% of the time I'm on my computer. It just focuses me better.

  • @davehemprich-bennett9336
    @davehemprich-bennett9336 2 года назад

    One question regarding focus modes and having a homescreen for ‘work’: do you use widgets much with the work homescreen? My main work device is my Mac and I’ve been trying using homescreens with widgets for email and Things on on my iPad (air 3) and iPhone (12 pro), but the background refresh rate is so slow that they usually show tonnes of ‘pending’ to-dos that have actually been completed and ‘unread’ emails that have actually been read. And so my ADHD brain finds this more distracting, if anything…

  • @mariah4197
    @mariah4197 2 года назад

    Hi! This is very timely! I want to ask if having a smaller screen (laptop/iPad) better than having a bigger screen with so many apps open at the same time. I feel like I can focus more when I only use my laptop screen instead of a 27-in monitor.
    In addition, I already hid the dock on my Mac and used an app like Magnet so I can set a specific location on the screen for the apps I use, instead of them overlapping each other. I also used the new focus features on the Mac.

    Hi Chris,
    I find the iPad Pro limiting for big projects because of the screen size and the battery. My new dream is getting a complementary iMac and you would be the person from who I would love to get an advice. Do you think I should keep my 4th gen 12.9 iPad Pro as my main device and get a decent display or go for the next iMac Apple will come up with? I considered M1 iMacs but they are all too ugly to me. All I want is teaching with the iPad and creating some content on a big screen and a clean desk.

    "if you have an Apple watch" LMAO my ADHD won't let me wear watches, hats, or rings for any extended amount of time. Wearing anything like that for me is like having a nat flying in my face until I take them off.

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  2 года назад

      That's where the Focus feature comes in. When you don't want/need those distractions you can make them go away. When you're ok to have them then you can use focus to allow them.
