I have a habit of learning something new and really digging into it. Then getting bored and moving on. Then when I come back to it 'x' amount of time later, I've forgotten most of what I had worked so hard to learn!
There actually is an answer/solution to this. I might make a full breakdown but the tl:dr is that some info is use it or lose it. Creating reference sheets to refresh what you have learned and learning through mnemonics can help slow the lose it phase.
Well made video! It all made sense and made some things clearer for me (but of course I haven't watched it entirely :D). I just wish I wasn't losing energy to fight my ADHD as I age. 😢 Anyway, you deserve more subs. 👍
This is exactly why "Break it down into smaller steps" is *horrible* advice for me. 'Cause then I'm like, "Ok great. 1 task is now 1,000 tasks." 😖 Add to that I've also been diagnosed with OCPD, so there's an extra layer of "everything has to be done the right/best way" and "let me plan everything before I start so I don't waste any time or energy" and it's absolutely crippling! I like the visual of the guy using flash cards though. I can dump everything first, then organize priority/categories second because every item can be freely rearranged, unlike writing a long list on one sheet of paper (if that makes sense. I'm rambling now. 😅) Anyway, good content! I'll keep an eye out for more!
Could you make a video where you address smoking addiction and possible ways to quit? Also, how to prevent falling for another addiction as an attempt to compensate from the previous one. Thanks a bunch :)
Addiction is a big topic, and highly correlated with ADHD, so I'm certain many people who watch my ADHD content will want to see it. I'll for sure be getting to addiction content eventually, but I need to make sure I can think of a digestible, helpful, and responsible way of doing it first.
Yes, the reward trick has stopped working for me long time ago. The thought of doing something fun after I get done with a certain task that seems a like a burden is not exciting anymore.
Do you recognize this? I start a routine with 2 tasks. It works. I get hope. I'm thinking about the next routine I should do or expand this one? Than I get a call from my friends on a Saturday morning to go to the beach, which is great. Two weeks later I remember I started a routine a few weeks ago. I forgot.
Sounds like your routines are kept only mentally. A small change that might help is to plot your routines out on a time-segmented calendar, and set reminders throughout the day to check on that calendar so you don't forget about it.

Thank you for this information. I learned some things that I didn’t know before.

Excellent Video
Thanks!
I do both in my Braun and 100 tabs on my computer😂
I'm 35 years old always knew I got in me the adhd but by the years passing I feel it harder and harder to get anything done, should I seek help?
I'll be making a few ADHD in adults and ADHD+motivation/depression type videos which might answer this in the future
