My main ADHD problem is that I will watch a video like this, then watch five more, then think - OH SHOOT which morning routine do I pick? Or maybe I should have no daily routine but just short term and long term goals? How many? I want to do all 40 things I want to do. But I can’t do them all every day! How do I prioritize? I don’t know! Help! Ok back to unconscious living… 😏

Hey, thanks for the comment. Check out my new video to find out how adhd and sleep are linked and how you can get rid of adhd brain fog in the mornings.
Hi Jessie! Falling asleep at night can be hard to wake up on time in the morning. Fortunately, a few days of making yourself wake up a little earlier will probably end up helping you fall asleep at night. I hope that helps!!
No - you aren't! I just can't seem to make myself go to bed on time. I'd rather watch RUclips, TV, eat or even just dance around to the radio rather than go to bed…
Self-help stuff is the worst for me. Especially when trying to learn about adhd. I wanna help myself but the problem I need to get help for won't let me. 😅
If this is made for people with adhd why is this video so unnecessarily long. I appreciate the work that goes into these videos but this makes me wanna rip my brain out. this is not adhd friendly at all
After I quit working at Amazon, I began developing a morning routine, which is something I've never done before. Now i meditate first thing in the morning, then I run 2.6 miles for 30 minutes followed by some minor strength training and yoga, 5 days a week and I talk to myself to work through issues and etc. So yes, this is very helpful to my life.
@@Esc4pe_velocity everything in my life has changed since this post. I meditate at night now, gym in the morning. Sometimes i meditate at the gym. I wake 6:45. I used to wake about 7:30- 8 when i first posted this
@@Esc4pe_velocity but i must say, don't let kids be an excuse! I see too many mother's doing this. Although I'm not a mother, i feel like people tend to use something that takes time as an excuse. I live in my car now and i used to make so many excuses in regards to that but they get me no where. I accept and adapt now.
Dude I feel like my life just started. I grew up outside the US and was never diagnosed. Instead I was just yelled at and told to shut up. Repressed everything for a long time. These videos have helped me so much. Thank you!
Meditation does not need to be the sit still it can be as simple as a walk through the woods and allowing yourself to just be in the now and aware of yourself down to your breath and every movement your toes make and the flap of a butterflies wings ^_^ you do not have to completely clear your mind, that is new aged/more mondernized.
every goal will make it a strained effort anyway. Meditation that suits me is just noticing or allowing everything that occurs, without subtle goals or points of focus.
This video is at least 10 times too long for me.. I think you got hyperfocused making this video and collecting all the clips etc., without realising that it doesn't fit an ADHD viewer at all :P
If you have adhd and struggled listening to the intro.... Scroll to 4:19 where the answer to your question might be found... Move 20 minutes (exercise) , reflect 20 minutes (journaling and or medication) and grow 20 minutes (read/audio book/videos or learn) ... (Robin dharma 5am club) helps avoid procrastination.
Love this video! I don’t have adhd but I think this routine can still help me to stop procrastinating and feel productive from the beginning of the day. The exercise part fits well with the 30-day yoga challenge I found online!
i've tried this but it takes me like 2 hours by the time i get organised and procrastinate in between each activity. sigh. maybe i need to aim for 15 minute blocks with 5 minutes reset time inbetween
If you are doing an activity for reflect after exercise try switching to his 10 min meditation immediately after. Once the tape gets started I become calmer and more able to focus as opposed to going from exercise to journaling which requires a lot more attention. Then after I calm through meditation I go straight to Journaling/to do list/CBT exercise.
every time your brain drifts of to somewhere else, consciously note that you’ve lost focus and go straight back to reading. Before you know it you’ll be so far into the book your hyper focused on it
I would share samething with you, what helped me out a lot! Its just a little thing i ad here to the to do List: i write down a whole timetable, so i can instantly see, if i am even capable of doing all the tasks within one day. While writing it down, plan a little bit more time for every task, than you actually need, so you really can get everything done. This way i improved sooo much, was just very happy about it, that it motivated me even more.
I had to pause this at 4 minutes & comment cause I just realized you held my attention for FOUR WHOLE MINUTES I’ve been really listening intently & I still am. 👍
I am glad that I'm able to hold your attention :). A few people in my previous videos mentioned that it was a bit slow..which is why I have now adjusted it. Good to know that it works 😆
Oh man .i am still on the hunt for a morning routine walkthrough . I am desperate to see someone get ready an put things away , stay organized and busy . Just want to see it once . This is too much music and explaining for me got overwhelming . I am glad it’s helped others . Thanks
I didnt stay in once during covid. I drove to beaches, walked in forrests, grabbed starbucks from petrol station vending machines, o flew every few months evenntho they said you couldnt fly you actually could. i found a hotel restaurant in my town that was open everyday and i sat in there daily studying on my laptop. When they yin you yang.
I've been sifting through shitty ass morning routines and self help garbage the last 11 years but this one ACTUALLY got me motivated. I love the ADHD approach.. it's been the elephant in the room i never wanted to aknowledge. Thank man
The best 2 years of my life, I would wake up at 4am to workout, eat and then would ride my bike for 19 miles. Then go to work. Really need to get back to it.

Thank you for putting me onto the 5am club! I got really into the miracle morning for a while, but the visualization and affirmation parts really threw me off because I was hung up on doing it right and wasn't even really interested in those things. The 5am one essentially strips it down to the three things I really liked in TMM and wanted to cultivate: exercise, meditation and reading.
what i need for motivation is a ten minute video saying DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT and making inconvenient NOT to do it. if there is a video like that plzzz link it
Not surprised that someone with ADHD would make a video TOO LONG. Many with ADHD once getting going on something don’t know when to stop. Like me right now. But I know this so I’m gonna stop now. See.

I told my mom I think I had adhd and my mom said she thought I was fine (she cares and she truly thinks i just have bad habits) but the more I hear and the more I think about us the more worried I get cause I keep thinking of everything and I find more and more proof I might have it. I just want to go to a doctor and get tested so I can stop worrying!
I’m 41 and I was just diagnosed a few months ago. My whole life started to make sense. If I had known when I was young, my life could have been completely different. I hope you’ve gotten to speak to a doctor about it. 💜
She's right. It's just habits. And a f_cked up hierarchy of values. Also, you're probably motivating yourself through force, through "disciplining", the Stick. You should learn to motivate yourself through the Carrot mostly, esp. for the long-term values. It's a totally different brain path, btw. You gotta do the work to CLARIFY to your brain why this and that are values, so they feel more compelling to it IN THE MOMENT, emotionally. Ideally getting to the point where you're practically salivating over long-range goals! Only through clarifying can you do that. Take the minute(s) before doing _anything_ to remind yourself all the reasons why you're doing it, so you feel motivation. You'll need the most time at the beginning and it'll be the hardest. Persevere.
This is EXACTLY my routine and my most successful and sustained focus ever. It's reassuring that someone else like me is doing this! I run at 5 am. I reflect followed by time to learn something new all before I go to work! YAY! High-5!
Not sure if it is my ADHD, I'm too chilled being at home for my own good. Although I wish I was more productive, I definitely want to get a lot achieved, I think the best way is mini steps for things I find boring when I don't have a deadline. Again though I don't have the feeling yet of but being able to chill, but then again I have a garden and things to clear up ... And computer games which I need to control... Again though I'm very laid back which can be counter productive
That routine I have been doing that at least 6-months every single day‼💯 with a little tweaking of my own🥰 I added a few extras which has changed my life Completely‼💯and helping me learn to live with my ADHD with no Medications‼💯🤯🧘♀️🙏🥰🌍🕊#watchthisspace
P.s I love🥰 all your work and advice🥰 please keep up the good work‼💯 You are helping so many people‼💯 thank you🥰 I am so grateful🥰 that I found you on here‼💯🥰
"so, you have adhd huh? Well let me preface the crap out of this video until you realize I'm just trying to pad my time for viewership stats, bore you to tears, and ultimately make you click off and go somewhere else, hoping the next video about ADHD doesn't waste your time exactly like this one and the previous 5 have!"
Ikr right i still dont know wth the routine is. But i heard something about: getting up early, 20 min exercise, journalling, meditation, setting small goals
How do you task switch that quickly though? If I work out for 20 minutes it will ten take me half an hour to get from that to 20 minutes of mindfulness.
I'm eleven years old and haven't been diagnosed yet, I'm just yelled at.. I don't know what to do because a few days ago I heard my parents talking about how I think I have adhd. My mom said, "We all have a little ADHD." And later that day my dad asked me, "You know you don't have ADD, right?"
Bless your heart! How brave you are to put yourself out there. My daughter was your age when she began taking ADHD medication to help her focus in school and it has really helped her and she often gets A/B or A honor roll. If you don't feel comfortable speaking to your parents, maybe you have a school counselor or teacher you can talk to and they can help bridge that conversation with your parents. You can even bring it up at your next doctor's appt. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 40s. Girls weren't even considered to have ADD/ADHD when I was in school and I struggled, felt stupid and was extremely accident prone. I believe having ADHD is a gift if you can learn to use it. AND stop thinking that you are not normal. It's ok to not be "normal" like everyone else. We are unique, special people that are advanced in consciousness and highly intellegent. The struggle often comes from that feeling of not being like everyone else. I still deal with it everyday but when I struggle, I seek help from my doctor, therapist and people like this youtube creator. Sending you & everyone Peace&Love🥰
Maybe you can ask your parents to take you to the doctor/therapist for talk therapy and you can tell the therapist you think you need to be diagnosed or talk to your school counselor to see if they are able to test/diagnose you. In a way that could possibly side step your parents. Ultimately, I think age 13 you can make your own medical decisions as well. It's tough when parents don't understand a child's needs. I have two boys around your age and one has adhd. Dont give up on yourself. Hang in there. ❤
You almost surely don't have ADHD. You _just_ need to lay off the electronic devices that you have an addiction to. You can't deal with lesser values when you have higher, immediate values like the object(s) of your addiction of choice. It feels almost painful to switch to a lesser value, even if it's a higher value to your _rational_ mind. Like a self-sacrifice. When investment in your future (self) feels like self-sacrifice, you're in big trouble. You need to get your hierarchy of values straight. You have to make those long-term values real IN THE MONENT. As real and concrete as a bar of chocolate, so you salivate over them. That takes _work,_ thinking. Which is precisely what you have trouble doing, though! 😆
I have adhd because symtoms and I self awarene so many thing myself So I started running atleast 5to 10 km daily for 45 or 47 day regularly then some one imly that running is not worth it because he was earning money I don't we have same age he was because I don't know what I gonna do but I was high on that dopamine that give me morning achievement smile on the face which most of time I just sad or bore so I watch tv shows and movies. As soon I thought my morning thing is not worth I became lazy I eat once in a day now including all nothing else I don't do anything just scroll and watch movies before that I was atleast motivated I feel life has meaning but with no goal I just feel empty 😢 again
i agree with you i am an audible person have the hardest time reading a book ever since i was a kid. Actually missed Halloween when i was 13 cause i had to do a book report. Parents said 13 too old anyway to go trick or treating. I was like well its still a fun night can i hang with my friends. Instead i sat in bed and read, and heard the door bell ring all night. oh well stronger for it, i guess.
good video, great content, but you could have shorted it down in some ways. Could be a good thing to think about when you try to reach the us with adhd. Keep up the good work tho!:D I will try this method out right away
I’ve tried a LOT of morning routines and this is the first one that I have found massive success with. Thank you. I started out giving myself a short term goal of experimenting with the Victory Hour for 10 days. I have experienced such huge benefits already that I don’t even consider not doing it anymore. BONUS hack: if you can do any of this outside so you maximize your exposure to sunlight within 60-90m of waking you can get even more benefits for your ADHD brain.
I realize you have to get over 10 minutes for RUclips, but did you need to wait till half way through the video to start the actual video? There's a lack of audio balancing, clarity, inflection and pacing that makes this impossible to watch with ADHD even at 2x speed.
Idk if my ADHD is in overdrive today, but the background music is a tiny bit high and becoming distracting when listening to your voice. Sorry for commenting on a 3yr old video about this.
I watched it twice and I think I missed the part when anything meaningful was said. Consider adding timestamp to part of the vid where you stop talking about what your going to say.
I hate tread mills and exercise bikes, I find them boring. I like boxing so I hit the heavy bag, the exercise definately helps me focus and makes me want to learn, so I started learning a new language. I am glad I do not like video games but find I am addicted to youtube videos. My ADHD seems to be getting worse with age and has intensified over the last few years with the covid lockdowns, I think it is because I see through the lies that the media and government have been feeding us, it really bothers me.
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 things are going well with learning a new language, the language is Russian so it is a hard language to learn. I purchased a membership with a language learning platform at Christmas time, I am close to being half way through the course. It takes about 1200 to 1500 hours to become fluent in Russian. I study for one to two hours every morning.
I'm so grateful to come across your channel when i searched motivational videos, felt like garbage that I can't jump start motivation through that method, and than searched 'motivational videos, ADHD'...that brought me to your channel! I have binged your shorts and have often been in tears from feeling understood... why the day to day feels so hard and how i fall into 'live to work' pattern. I work in a crisis related role and often take extra shifts to avoid boredom. I got diagnosed with ADHD at 38 but kind of knew since grade 8-9. I like your method of short-term goals, and that has helped re-frame the way i want to utilize my day. I have a 13 year old son with ADHD and often feel i am falling short as a parent, in trying to help him make good decisions for himself, the shorter goals (even if 5 min to start) is so encouraging! He loves personal challenges, we recently installed a chin up bar for him, he seems to be gravitating toward this physical movement. I need to get out more, when I have a day off work I binge heavy social justice videos, long story, just my thing. The types of noise was also hugely eye-opening! It made sense why i go 'crazy' when there is silence, like when power goes out and I didn't prepare with having a battery powered fan as a back up and why i need a fan going on in the background. Comfy clothing was another thing. Truly thank you for making this channel, these videos, you have dedicated such a huge part of your time toward helping others - thank you for making these videos accessible rather than having it as a paid subscription. Sorry this is a long comment. I just wanted to express my appreciation for what you do/have done and the style of your videos are easy to watch! Appreciate you!
I've been scrolling all through ADHD videos to see what exactly meals I can cook that helps with my brain, then I get bored because nothing is direct. Then I've drifted too all these other random videos. Brain is a bit inattentive today. 🤦♀️
Check out Whole Foods Plant Based, no sugar, white flour or processed foods, also larger meal at lunch, salad or soup and fruit for dinner. Wake lighter and with energy
That Move, Learn, Grow hour reads more like, 10 mins to get ready/ 15 mins to shower after = 1 hour of procrastination before I get round to the learn quotent. Then all those trips to the kettle to make coffees… Grow is too vague. I’ll just stay in bed.
four years after the upload, and well after COVID lockdowns in my country, I'm finally beginning to plan to enforce these ideas in my daily life. I work from home and am in my 20s, but have only received ADHD treatment for two years thanks to a recent diagnosis. very excited to attempt to get my self discipline back on track as I really let myself go since beginning this job!
Four minutes in and I have heard NOTHING about the morning routine. Don’t plug your channel until you have provided me with something worthwhile. Don’t tell me how many ways ADHD impacts me as I’ve felt it longer than you’ve been alive. Get to the point! If you can make a point, then ask for subs and likes. In the meantime I’m off to a different channel.
For someone that added horrible 40 lb after getting in meds for bipolar , as mania during the Covid took me to relapse on drugs. The fat guy joke was not so funny. Severe adhd plus few other issues makes it tough
3:54 "Luckily, if you have made it this far..." ...you've proven you don't have ADHD because you haven't gotten bored by this excessively long introduction!
The people with adhd be reading the comments while watching
I usually read comments while listening to the video. It’s rare to just sit & actually read/watch the video 🙃. I have been to lured 🌚

Also, you're probably motivating yourself through force, through "disciplining", the Stick. You should learn to motivate yourself through the Carrot mostly, esp. for the long-term values. It's a totally different brain path, btw.
You gotta do the work to CLARIFY to your brain why this and that are values, so they feel more compelling to it IN THE MOMENT, emotionally. Ideally getting to the point where you're practically salivating over long-range goals! Only through clarifying can you do that. Take the minute(s) before doing _anything_ to remind yourself all the reasons why you're doing it, so you feel motivation. You'll need the most time at the beginning and it'll be the hardest. Persevere.
This is EXACTLY my routine and my most successful and sustained focus ever. It's reassuring that someone else like me is doing this!
I run at 5 am. I reflect followed by time to learn something new all before I go to work!
YAY!
High-5!
Bro why would you make a video for people with adhd and then proceed with a 5 minute intro of you talking about nothing
Great video but took much too long to get to the point. Thank you anyway I enjoy these resources
Thanks! Check out my newer content..its a bit more suited to our brains (fast paced) ;)
Not sure if it is my ADHD, I'm too chilled being at home for my own good. Although I wish I was more productive, I definitely want to get a lot achieved, I think the best way is mini steps for things I find boring when I don't have a deadline.
Again though I don't have the feeling yet of but being able to chill, but then again I have a garden and things to clear up ... And computer games which I need to control... Again though I'm very laid back which can be counter productive
Nik is just my fav ADHD creator. He's just so down to Earth, practical and realistic.
I agree! he even sounds genuine
That routine I have been doing that at least 6-months every single day‼💯 with a little tweaking of my own🥰 I added a few extras which has changed my life Completely‼💯and helping me learn to live with my ADHD with no Medications‼💯🤯🧘♀️🙏🥰🌍🕊#watchthisspace
P.s I love🥰 all your work and advice🥰 please keep up the good work‼💯
You are helping so many people‼💯 thank you🥰 I am so grateful🥰 that I found you on here‼💯🥰
What extras if you don’t mind me asking please
Lmaooo yoooo the way guy at 6:40 faces the camera has me hollering 🤣
😂
Great video. Suggest doing a version where you cut down the bit leading to the routine. Great stuff and thanks
"so, you have adhd huh? Well let me preface the crap out of this video until you realize I'm just trying to pad my time for viewership stats, bore you to tears, and ultimately make you click off and go somewhere else, hoping the next video about ADHD doesn't waste your time exactly like this one and the previous 5 have!"
I'm ADHD and cant even finish this video.
The music is too loud.. I can not focus on what you say :( But I subscribed!
For a video made for people with adhd it takes soooo long to get to the actual point 🙃
Yo.. taking 4 minutes to get to the routine is highly distracting. I can’t even pay attention in 1.5 speed. 🤦🏻♀️
Ikr right i still dont know wth the routine is. But i heard something about: getting up early, 20 min exercise, journalling, meditation, setting small goals
MUSIC AND TALKING AT THE SAME TIME is my ADHD NIGHTMARE.. really wanted to hear what you have to say but I had to stop it.
How do you task switch that quickly though? If I work out for 20 minutes it will ten take me half an hour to get from that to 20 minutes of mindfulness.
I'm eleven years old and haven't been diagnosed yet, I'm just yelled at.. I don't know what to do because a few days ago I heard my parents talking about how I think I have adhd. My mom said, "We all have a little ADHD." And later that day my dad asked me, "You know you don't have ADD, right?"
Bless your heart! How brave you are to put yourself out there. My daughter was your age when she began taking ADHD medication to help her focus in school and it has really helped her and she often gets A/B or A honor roll. If you don't feel comfortable speaking to your parents, maybe you have a school counselor or teacher you can talk to and they can help bridge that conversation with your parents. You can even bring it up at your next doctor's appt. I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 40s. Girls weren't even considered to have ADD/ADHD when I was in school and I struggled, felt stupid and was extremely accident prone. I believe having ADHD is a gift if you can learn to use it. AND stop thinking that you are not normal. It's ok to not be "normal" like everyone else. We are unique, special people that are advanced in consciousness and highly intellegent. The struggle often comes from that feeling of not being like everyone else. I still deal with it everyday but when I struggle, I seek help from my doctor, therapist and people like this youtube creator. Sending you & everyone Peace&Love🥰
Maybe you can ask your parents to take you to the doctor/therapist for talk therapy and you can tell the therapist you think you need to be diagnosed or talk to your school counselor to see if they are able to test/diagnose you. In a way that could possibly side step your parents. Ultimately, I think age 13 you can make your own medical decisions as well. It's tough when parents don't understand a child's needs. I have two boys around your age and one has adhd. Dont give up on yourself. Hang in there. ❤
You almost surely don't have ADHD. You _just_ need to lay off the electronic devices that you have an addiction to.
You can't deal with lesser values when you have higher, immediate values like the object(s) of your addiction of choice. It feels almost painful to switch to a lesser value, even if it's a higher value to your _rational_ mind. Like a self-sacrifice.
When investment in your future (self) feels like self-sacrifice, you're in big trouble. You need to get your hierarchy of values straight. You have to make those long-term values real IN THE MONENT. As real and concrete as a bar of chocolate, so you salivate over them. That takes _work,_ thinking. Which is precisely what you have trouble doing, though! 😆
Seriously…get to the point. Youre dealing with short term availability of our brains. Next….
this omg
I have adhd because symtoms and I self awarene so many thing myself
So I started running atleast 5to 10 km daily for 45 or 47 day regularly then some one imly that running is not worth it because he was earning money I don't we have same age he was because I don't know what I gonna do but I was high on that dopamine that give me morning achievement smile on the face which most of time I just sad or bore so I watch tv shows and movies. As soon I thought my morning thing is not worth I became lazy I eat once in a day now including all nothing else I don't do anything just scroll and watch movies before that I was atleast motivated I feel life has meaning but with no goal I just feel empty 😢 again
The music is too loud bro
I watched it in two bits.
The repetitive music development me nuts sorry. I'm an adhd musician lol
i agree with you i am an audible person have the hardest time reading a book ever since i was a kid. Actually missed Halloween when i was 13 cause i had to do a book report. Parents said 13 too old anyway to go trick or treating. I was like well its still a fun night can i hang with my friends. Instead i sat in bed and read, and heard the door bell ring all night. oh well stronger for it, i guess.
What is the routine? All I have is 20 minutes of exercise, 20 minutes of ??? And 20 minutes of ??? And we have to get up at 5am???
The music is distracting but I really wanna listen
good video, great content, but you could have shorted it down in some ways. Could be a good thing to think about when you try to reach the us with adhd. Keep up the good work tho!:D I will try this method out right away
Imagine being able to fall asleep and be rested enough to do anything after just waking up.
20 minutes move, 20 minutes reflection, journal or and meditation, 20 minutes growing- read, listen, watch
I’ve tried a LOT of morning routines and this is the first one that I have found massive success with. Thank you.
I started out giving myself a short term goal of experimenting with the Victory Hour for 10 days. I have experienced such huge benefits already that I don’t even consider not doing it anymore.
BONUS hack: if you can do any of this outside so you maximize your exposure to sunlight within 60-90m of waking you can get even more benefits for your ADHD brain.
This video and explanation is so helpful!!
I realize you have to get over 10 minutes for RUclips, but did you need to wait till half way through the video to start the actual video?
There's a lack of audio balancing, clarity, inflection and pacing that makes this impossible to watch with ADHD even at 2x speed.
Idk if my ADHD is in overdrive today, but the background music is a tiny bit high and becoming distracting when listening to your voice. Sorry for commenting on a 3yr old video about this.
Watching this while on IG..
imagine you male adhd videos and talks so much about other stuff, that your target audience get distracted
I watched it twice and I think I missed the part when anything meaningful was said. Consider adding timestamp to part of the vid where you stop talking about what your going to say.
Very insightful, thanks! 👍😊
I hate tread mills and exercise bikes, I find them boring. I like boxing so I hit the heavy bag, the exercise definately helps me focus and makes me want to learn, so I started learning a new language. I am glad I do not like video games but find I am addicted to youtube videos. My ADHD seems to be getting worse with age and has intensified over the last few years with the covid lockdowns, I think it is because I see through the lies that the media and government have been feeding us, it really bothers me.
11 months later,, what happened with the new language?
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 things are going well with learning a new language, the language is Russian so it is a hard language to learn. I purchased a membership with a language learning platform at Christmas time, I am close to being half way through the course. It takes about 1200 to 1500 hours to become fluent in Russian. I study for one to two hours every morning.
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 I'm half way to being fluent
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 half way to being fluent
Yeah your avg image change is 15-20sec
is anyone else so drowsy in the morning that it feels unsafe to exercise?
You're probably eating or drinking sh!t and/or are not going to bed on time.
or have sleep apnea.
This definitely helped me
I'm so grateful to come across your channel when i searched motivational videos, felt like garbage that I can't jump start motivation through that method, and than searched 'motivational videos, ADHD'...that brought me to your channel! I have binged your shorts and have often been in tears from feeling understood... why the day to day feels so hard and how i fall into 'live to work' pattern. I work in a crisis related role and often take extra shifts to avoid boredom. I got diagnosed with ADHD at 38 but kind of knew since grade 8-9. I like your method of short-term goals, and that has helped re-frame the way i want to utilize my day. I have a 13 year old son with ADHD and often feel i am falling short as a parent, in trying to help him make good decisions for himself, the shorter goals (even if 5 min to start) is so encouraging! He loves personal challenges, we recently installed a chin up bar for him, he seems to be gravitating toward this physical movement. I need to get out more, when I have a day off work I binge heavy social justice videos, long story, just my thing. The types of noise was also hugely eye-opening! It made sense why i go 'crazy' when there is silence, like when power goes out and I didn't prepare with having a battery powered fan as a back up and why i need a fan going on in the background. Comfy clothing was another thing. Truly thank you for making this channel, these videos, you have dedicated such a huge part of your time toward helping others - thank you for making these videos accessible rather than having it as a paid subscription. Sorry this is a long comment. I just wanted to express my appreciation for what you do/have done and the style of your videos are easy to watch! Appreciate you!
Nice vidéo, although I cant focus with the music.
It's hard when you have to be at work at 6.30 a.m. and finish late
Dude! The music in the background not ADHD friendly at all.
Bro why the long ass intro like it’s kinda counterintuitive
omg that loud, lame ass music drowns everything
Man that background music was way too distracting.
TOO LOOOOOOOOONGGGGGG
But I HATE exercise especially running. :c
And meditation
Exercise doesn’t have to be hard! It can be doing yoga or going on a walk, and it’s easier if you add music or work a game into it :)
why is the intro alone a millennia long? 😅
I've been scrolling all through ADHD videos to see what exactly meals I can cook that helps with my brain, then I get bored because nothing is direct. Then I've drifted too all these other random videos. Brain is a bit inattentive today. 🤦♀️
Check out Whole Foods Plant Based, no sugar, white flour or processed foods, also larger meal at lunch, salad or soup and fruit for dinner. Wake lighter and with energy
bruh we have adhd and u take 4 min to get to the point what are u doing.... not tryna hate it just bruh......
But all people with Adhd do this
First day of trying to maintain a routine, thanks to this video. Hope I don’t procrastinate.
My life wasn’t changed at all I want to my job every single day serving the public.
Important part starts at 4:09.
Dude that repetitive music drove me insane! Couldn’t finish the video
That Move, Learn, Grow hour reads more like, 10 mins to get ready/ 15 mins to shower after = 1 hour of procrastination before I get round to the learn quotent. Then all those trips to the kettle to make coffees… Grow is too vague. I’ll just stay in bed.
I’m definitely going to check out that audio book 👀
Hey Hailey :) yea definitely a must read/hear ^^!
I couldn't concentrate on this video to finish watching
four years after the upload, and well after COVID lockdowns in my country, I'm finally beginning to plan to enforce these ideas in my daily life. I work from home and am in my 20s, but have only received ADHD treatment for two years thanks to a recent diagnosis. very excited to attempt to get my self discipline back on track as I really let myself go since beginning this job!
Four minutes in and I have heard NOTHING about the morning routine. Don’t plug your channel until you have provided me with something worthwhile. Don’t tell me how many ways ADHD impacts me as I’ve felt it longer than you’ve been alive. Get to the point! If you can make a point, then ask for subs and likes. In the meantime I’m off to a different channel.
For someone that added horrible 40 lb after getting in meds for bipolar , as mania during the Covid took me to relapse on drugs. The fat guy joke was not so funny. Severe adhd plus few other issues makes it tough
3:54
"Luckily, if you have made it this far..."
...you've proven you don't have ADHD because you haven't gotten bored by this excessively long introduction!
I'm kidding... Mostly. This video was extremely helpful and I've subscribed
The intro took too long. My ADHD had me skipped through most of it only to leave this video and forget to come back until just now
