Thanks, +mspixiedust100 - I'll see if I can get to those nuggets earlier in my future videos! 😃 I am just glad that you think there were nuggets in there. 😉
This is how I feel listening to EVERYONE speak. Academic lectures, personal conversations, entertainment shows...everything. It’s almost like I need a “sped up” version. Like cmonnnnnnn spit it out. 😭😭😭😭
mspixiedust100 ... I think i might have ADHD and i am gonna make a vlog on my journey to of discovery that might help other people who are in the same situation i find myself in now have you got any suggestions for the vlog please?
Interesting video and some feedback from a ADHD sufferer. The hardest thing for me is the confusion when prioritising tasks, ordering tasks in a sequence and alloting time. When listening to you describe how the case study patient came back and was listing in order. I even found that confusing after about the 5th task in the sequence. My mind loses track and I start disregarding info (such as the 12 minutes journey) to simplify the steps. The sequence of take I can follow is about 3 thing. After this, it becomes challenging and requires quite abit of mental effort to understand. iRonically I have a great memory for listing sequences of numbers, but that is because they don't require actions. THAT IS THE KICKER. It is sequences of ACTION that confuse the f*** out of ADHD sufferers. It makes us extremely tired when trying to keep up.
I actually found quite relaxing the way you talk, very nice to hear, I just didn’t get the what make the patient to change (and I’m very interested cause I got the same problem... often live the house at the time of the appointment... I never got a clue how long a task will take to get done... once I got to a date one hour later!) So I really need some help with this... :)
Thank you, Liu. Without me, put two pieces of paper on the floor marked now and appointment. Then walk forward from now towrds appointnent in small steps while you think about what needs to happen when in order for you to be at the right place and time for the appointment. Write on post its and place them on the line between now and appointment. Then move to the right side of the line and look at the line so that now is to your left and appointment is to your right. Get a good overview. Then move post its if necessary to get the best possible process for you to be on time. Lastly walk from now to appointment and notice the difference. Also notice the differencde the next time you go for an appointment. 😃👍🏻
Transforming ADHD thanks so much for taking your time to share your techniques! I’ve been explaining to my therapists that I heard (and made sense to me) that ADHD people need practical ideas to understand how to change. But my therapists don’t serm to get it, they continue with therapist talk, with I like and respect but don’t seem to get to me in order to make me change. I actually forget most of the sessions by the next day. So practical strategic advice like you are giving seems a lot more interesting, I’ll definitely put that in practice! Thank you!
So do you do this by writing down the minutiae of getting out the door and visualizing it, that sort of thing? Do you collaboratively hash out the details, write them down, write lists, etc? I'm kind of wrecking my life because everything takes forever and I don't have time to breathe, yet I find myself engrossed in stuff that has no relevance to my life. Is it just about growing up and focusing on the menial stuff?
+Jenna Wattenbarger Visualizing the details would definitely help a lot. If you do this make sure to line them up on a timeline like the one I describe in the video. If you do it on the floor that's even better. Then walk around it and then ealk it from start to finish a couple of time to get a feel for the flow. Make changes if it feels tight or if there's anything missing. Then walk it again. 👣 When the mental structure - the mental timeline - is in place your mind won't need all the lists and external structures. No! It's not about focusing on the menial stuff. Accepting that those things are part of adult life will help. And you need a good mental structure if it's not there already. Interesting that you mention growing up. That can be part of it too. Not for you but for parts of your personality that are not grownnup. More on that in future videos. Thank you for the comments! 😃🙏🏻
Love the message here. I truly believe succeeding and living well with ADHD is an inside-out approach. Like you say, time management can be really easy when you do the "inside work". Its definitely one of the first (and easiest) challenges that I have overcome and helped my clients to overcome too! Thanks for making it clear how to do that!
So how do you recommend we deal with tasks which themselves are somewhat flexible? For example: if I try to do makeup early in the morning , it can take up to an hour...if I’m rushing to not be late, maybe it’s 15 minutes...or maybe doing it makes me be late...or maybe I end up not getting time to put anything on at all...and/or I rush out without eating breakfast...
It's really hard listening to someone talk for this long and waiting for the nugget of information.

That's funny you say that. There is no accounting for taste; I almost always feel like that, but I hung onto every word.

Destiny Nicole, there is an option on speed, click on 1.25 or 1.5.

Nice. I love that you already do this with your clients, Andrea. What method/approach are you using to get these results?
May be you can make your videos alittle more dynamic? Thank you for sharing this info!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it! 😃👍🏻

Det var udmærket Anders. Tak.
Tak for det, @Manoochehr. Den næste er på vej fra min computer til RUclips. ;)
You are a true gift to soviety
Thank you, Elena! I really appreciate that! 😃
So if I feel that time doesn't exist, like no sense of time at all, how do I go about that?
Great video!!!!
Thanks, Miles. I appreciate the inspiration! :)
Huh I am lost
That ain't it chief
