You absolutely nailed it. Everything you said had me emphatically nodding in agreement haha. The times in my life where I was overthinking and planning the most were often the times where I was the least productive and had nothing to show for myself. Also, we ADHDers tend to intensely plan not just due to craving the false sense of being productive, but also due to fear of failure driven by RSD and perfectionistic all or nothing/black and white thinking tendencies, like the example you gave of not ticking a cross when following the diet plan made you feel like a failure. For me personally, it took me until well into my 20s before I realised that the phrase “giving 100%” didn’t literally mean give 100%. A lot of other ADHDers I know also took this phrase too literally. No wonder we burned ourselves out so many times haha. Love these videos, keep them up!
Omg you’re back! FORREALLLL tho, I’ve realized that my ADHD is def something I have to contend with and manage BUT getting over the perfectionist and all or nothing tendencies has, for me personally, made an incredible difference… I could go on a RANT about this lol
@@daniellecolada haha please feel free to rant! But it actually makes sense tho as to why there is a very high link between undiagnosed ADHD (also autism) and things like body dysmorphia and eating disorders in people afab. It’s not just those afab though, with many guys I know who are constantly in the gym thinking that they’ll never attract girls or get respect from others without a Greek god physique having been recently diagnosed with adhd. I’ve noticed that Social media tends to disproportionately affect people with ADHD as it amplifies that already present negative inner critical voice and tendency to spiral, self compare and idealise that ADHDers often have 10000 fold.
Haha oh see I did end up re-doing my Notion, and I love it and IT’S CRUCIAL for keeping my head clear, but I just had to go through a lot of trial and error to figure out how to best use it. It is admittedly a very delicate balance between powerful and over-complicated/clunky but I think I’ve found that line for myself and ngl I’m pretty psyched about it haha. A Notion tour is actually gonna be one of my next videos if you’re interested:) I’ll have a “podcast” up in the next day or two and then after an update to my Google Cal video and then Notion tour haha:)
AHHH THANK YOU LOVE! But omg I’m so glad! I hope you’re liking it so far! I’m currently editing a quick and dirty little tour, and please don’t hesitate to lmk if you’re finding any flaws or anything!
excellent timing, Danielle, i really needed to hear this! i felt a little hopeless about writing my master thesis. i've been planning and plotting, the "no guarantees" hit me so hard, it makes so much sense! now i will just dive in, get super obsessed with finishing it and show myself what i'm capable of when i approach something with that energy. hell yeah!!!
My ADHD is killing me. I struggle to make significant progress with anything. I feel like a hamster on a wheel spinning in place. I try again and again with goal-setting, trying to define goals and break down steps. I’ve even tried to have AI generate an action plan. I’m in an endless doom scroll cycle of productivity content consumption. I just feel like I’m missing something and no matter what, I can never be specific enough. No matter what I still somehow lack clarity surrounding action. Can anyone out there help?
100% can confirm that the world is waiting for your creativity- I literally had to rewatch the video and take notes so I don’t forget 🥹 I’ve been feeling burnt out on things that I love and you made it so clear on why!!! It’s bad energy and even bad environment too
Awh thank you dear, I also felt like this was a very DENSE video haha but in a good way! Seriously, switching the energy around tasks has been a game changer for me of late! And ENVIRONEMNT! Omg it’s so big, it’s one of my biggest focuses right now, decluttering anything that could distract me from my purpose!
