Something no one with adhd and procrastination issues would do: write a list of everything they do in a day, then have pluses and minuses for each thing with different meanings??? Wuutt??? I wanna procrastinate more just from hearing that.
Saaaaaaame!!!! I don’t have to make a list to know what I do in a day that’s + and -. Idk if it’s also depression happening or what. Can’t focus but also have ZERO energy to do anything
Pour moi je peux pas travailler en silence je m’ennuie 😢
EXACTLY
Yeah, I could never do that. And he wanted it for a week :D he doesnt realize what real procrastination is.
....RIGHT?!?!
If you're first idea is to "write down everything you do in a day" then YOU DON'T HAVE ADHD! !ol
Yeah bc you’ll forget lmao 🤣
Right!! Lol better have your meds!
I was just thinking this. I pressed pause as soon as I heard it. Smh
Your comment is so wrong lol
This kicked my ADHDs ass
Apply yourself
@@riley8429how do you remember to look at the list and then prioritise it? 😅
Writing everything I did in a day would be highlighted in RED 1:42
Ha exactly, he said write the things that you hate doing & I said ALL OF THEM!
I like this concept but would add a note of opinion here - I suffer from ADD and now take medication. I actually find that if I put my hardest tasks into my highest energy part of my day (early morning / morning for me) then I can actually push through them. If I take your suggestion and put them in a lower productivity part of the day then I am now up against a hard and challenging activity when I have low energy which means I won’t ever get it done. If you flip those two I would say your system would work, otherwise it’s a recipe for failure as the hard and challenging tasks will always fail and never get accomplished. I hope this makes sense
It does and i am gonna try it. Got diagnosed 3 weeks ago after burnout ... lost count. so dealing with a lot. On day 2 of medication. Did get a few things done but not how i wanted and also didn't do other things.
This video is as funny as an SNL skit. “Here’s how to fix your ADHD!” Then go into highly complex steps that no ADHD person could ever in a million years follow.
sounds like too much work
I don't have 7 days! I have an assignment due tomorrow & have to clean this messy house for a house inspection tomorrow arvo :( And I wanna cry :(
How did it go?☹
Aw. I swear, I would have helped you.
My own house has been messy for over 2 years 😰
Lol I won't even mention mine lol it is in the same condition as the day I moved in lol @@LinDa-vx3ly
@@LinDa-vx3ly and the only reason I managed to clean my room was because my dad did most of it
He needed 10 minutes for something that would’ve taken me an entire week lmao
Great vid! I cured my procrastination with to do lists and also telling somebody i plan to do something (like your grandma) as a man your word shall be solid so i do it everytime. But I struggle with remembering what i study no matter what method of studying i use it is as if my brain randomly selects what information stays. 😢
The answer to memory is most likely nutritional, unless it is injury related. plenty of info online about nutrition and memory that is related to ADHD or other conditions, you will find it easily on YT. Also you will probably find the easiest things to remember are things that have a big impact on you. if you find your mind wandering while learning something you need to have a break because you will never remember that stuff. Have you ever noticed when you just read 3 pages of information and you get to the end you don't even remember what you just read, I have, and I know to put the book down for at least a few minutes or more to regenerate my focus when that starts happening.
@@carlsapartments8931 ty bro appreciate it!
Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me. I just don’t do what I say I’ll do
I have tried every day timer, journal. I eventually got an empty. Notebook and every night before bed would write out my day in excruciating detail. Like 5am wakeup go into the bathroom, brush my teeth, comb my hair etc. Like I wouldn't write hygene, I'd write every step of hygene. Then I'd write out like 515 weak to kitchen get a glass of water and take vitamins. And I would do this for my entire day. I found my productivity went from 30-50 percent to about 60-80% successful. Do I write every day? Not always some days I don't have enough that I need to write but I do when I am stressed with alot on my plate so I can visualize everything.
Getting the book and writing in it is definitely RED+++.
I absolutely need to do this though.-
I have this issue as well. The ADHD management strategies are all RED+++ so it ends up being a chicken egg problem... I'm unmedicated though, perhaps medication will help to get the strategies started and then once I get them engrained as habit I can wean off of it.
Years ago my company provided us franklin planner kits and trai ing ro use it. It helped me stay on task. Not perfectly but it helped. A few years later I got my ADD diagnosis and the meds helped.
Getting started is still a problem though, I'm 68 now.
"Beat ADHD procrastination in 3 minutes!!" Okay, so the first step is to write down everything you do in a day, for a week. Seriously? Very helpful, "Doctor"
Apparently, I didn't need to take the top off the green marker.
This tracking list idea is absolutely not for me, I would never complete that. I think to-do lists work great and the minute challenge(even combined with to-do list) where you do the dreaded task for a minute at a time daily and increase it slowly over time. A good example would be any kind of household chore if this was your procrastination, pick any single chore or group of 2 or 3 chores and do them for one minute a day every single day, whenever you are ready bump it up to two minutes a day every day etc. until it becomes a habit you are maintaining. It trains your brain to adapt and accept the fact that it is not at all hard to keep the process in place and far less daunting than you had made yourself believe it to be. You will even be surprised at how small the actual amount of time that's needed to get satisfying results and make you feel accomplished for conquering what you thought was a boring nightmare. This small step approach will help cement the habit that you will benefit from so much.
For some other bigger tasks you can start at 5-10 minute intervals such as exercise programs or school studying and follow the same pattern over time as you are ready!
Oh man, I'm happy to have found your channel.
Glad you found it as well :)
I appreciate the time at the top
Good, but you forgot the part where one should hire someone else with a normal brain to do all those - and break the time dilation phenomena from, er, time to time to remind us that space-time entropy still "flows". PS: I skipped to 1:23 and stopped at the coloring stuff, something my straight-A daughter does to her notes at uni. PS: I didn't finish uni. PS: cough syrup with caffeine tabs actually got me to type this long, actually, avoiding work after taking cough syrup with caffeine tabs made me type this long.
I agree with rule 3. I find myself not wanting to do something but start anyways and when I get started all of a sudden I dont want to stop. Its just the getting started part thats hard.
Omg RULE NUMBER 1 thats awesome. i can just spend 3 whole days making this list and then after i made it i just put it away i never look at it again. And in the meanwhile i havent done anything i should be doing... yeah.. like wtf how is that an anti procrastination tip for adhd?
If you actually got ADHD its not about not knowing what tasks take more or less effort, every task takes more effort. even if you highlight it green or whatever color (i got already lost there) then the next day it can feel like red.. its the most worst advice i saw somoene give (a part from the fact lists dont work because now we cant do anything on it just because the list say we have to do it)
Good one😂👍 brief but very helpful information 🎉❤
I like the concept except I’m not sure about clumping all the exhausting boring tasks together for a large portion of the day. That would feel endless & I would definitely procrastinate those &/or being very slow & off-task the whole time. I get what you’re thinking about too much energy-switching but I think that’s probably necessary to break up the awful tasks & create a refreshing change of environment &/or head space, even if it’s the more mild single +/- items to transition between
All good, except the order of tasks. If you do the green stuff first you won't do the red stuff because by the time your day is over you are done and feel tired. You have spent energy doing what you like and is productive, so those tasks that you don't like and are also productive are still there waiting for you... And they need to be done anyway, so you are not solving the problem if you put them at the end of they day; you just put more stress on yourself because you ate your sweets before dinner; you got the reward before doing the work.
Instead switch the red with the green and do them when you have the most energy; so you can get going and then move to the green tasks. Or at least start with some red and move on some green to get more energy (which cause context switch, but it is also recharging you at the same time). It has been proven that people with ADHD have a very low tank for mental energy so switching activities often is actually beneficial for them, compared to people without ADHD.
I was thinking that as well.
And also, what's the point of highlighting the tasks green/red AND writing +/-? Is the grouping of the tasks solely based on green/red? Or also the +/-? They seem to signify different things if +/- signify productivity level while green/red signify interest and motivation. He only said to group tasks based on green/red so what's the point of the +/-? If they are both to be taken into consideration, then shouldn't there be 4 types of tasks?
1. Tasks that excites you and gives you momentum and you are productive with (green +)
2. Tasks that excites you and gives you momentum but you are not productive with (green -)
3. Tasks that drains you but you are productive with (red +)
4. Tasks that drains you and you are not productive with (red -)
I have to start with green, or I won’t start at all… But then I totally agree. I’ve got to do my “red” activities before I get tired or they won’t happen.
Then I can do another green activity later in the day as I will have less resistance to it.
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing
Perfect video for adhds, though don't think it's gonna work on me.planning is the toughest thing for me.however I'll try.thanks
I didnt hear anything you just said
Raise the voice
You look like the Mick Hucknall, the vocalist of Simple Red.
Thanks, bro!
You are so welcome :)
Does this actually works? So writing everything I do in an immediate day is a turn off for me, but I think it's worth a shot. I'll see what will happen, thank you.
Bro I know that playing video games for hours gives me energy but I have to write my fking term paper.
I agree with you guys I don’t think this’s helpful,
but thank you for making a video 🙏
I’ve written lists and forgotten to do them
I started taking l’theanine recently and I was suddenly getting really bad shoulder aches which felt like bad knots but I couldn’t get rid of it with massage. I then read an article which mentioned the link between acetal choline and increased glutamate levels being associated with l’theanine. I then decreased the l’theanine and it instantly eased the pain. Do you know anything about this and what I can take to counter act this possible side effect as I really enjoyed the effects of the l’theanine. I also read that low gaba was associated with high glutamate levels but this wouldn’t make sense as you said l’theanine increased low levels of gaba? Would taking taurine with it help?
One whole day record is ok, 7 days.... Is not possible..... I will force myself to imagine I am on day 1,2...7. See if that works.....
Damn I tried unsuccessfully for an entire week. I procrastinated doing this task and when I pushed myself to it I ended up doodling and drawing on the note pad. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Do these productivity hacks for ADHD actually have science to back them up. Whats the success rate?
Those saying ADHD keeps you from writing things down is false. It is an absolute challenge, but it is possible. You have to consciously tell yourself to do this EVERY DAY. I have suffered from severe ADHD paralysis my entire life. My parents took me to probably 20+ different therapists and spent thousands of $ to try to help me but none worked. I will beat it and I have NO excuses because I am fed up with it and once I conquer it I will make it my life goal to be an example to other that they can conquer it as well! This is NOT God's will for me and he created me like this for a reason! To conquer it and show others how they can do the same!
These are my thoughts exactly but I am still sat here surrounded by the world’s messiest house and have the video paused and I’m reading every single comment 😅 I hate me!
Love your comment though, you keep doing amazing! Gave me hope because I can’t keep living like this and need to really try implementing things regardless of how hard it is
I tuned out in the first 10 seconds….
1. Adderal
2. Ritalin
3. Modafinil
not everyone can take those. they can cause psychosis
Psychosis is very rare. About as common as a heart attack after taking aspirin. In the real world, these medications have actually been shown to work for symptoms of ADD, whereas these productivity hacks have no science to back them up.
I already do not wanna do this
For me 😅 i have energy in the evening not in morning
How does caffeine affect ADHD?
I feel energies and motivated 😅 .
Thanks for the Video!
I'll try this.
My child doesn’t like to do anything, can you give any suggestions to help them with the Adhd?
Suzie h, what age is your child and do you know what type of adhd they have? When I was working with school aged kids, I had them list the tasks they needed to do but didn’t like doing and we ordered them by importance and discussed them one at a time. Then with parents and teachers we’d all focus on supporting our student with one task at a time, trying to remove any obstacles we could, and seeing if we could the child find motivation whether they needed incentive or just support to make it more fun or relational. Usually making a game or challenge out of something and doing it together helps, esp with younger ones. My four year old refuses to clean up his toys alone but together with a time challenge and game rules and an incentive, he will get it done super fast. Not perfectly but quickly while giggling and having fun. Hope that helps! I encourage you to recruit teachers and school counselors to help out too :)

youtube, netflix and wide screen... causes of procrastination.. !!
I was locked into your video until I heard you say "Write down everything you do for the entire day," and my attention span evaporated because I hate redundant tasks and it's simply a stupid amateur idea. Go back to school and get your PHD.
This won't fly for anyone.
I stopped this video at 40 secs.
#metoo! Well 44 seconds to be precise
It's so overwhelming and bad right now I even have to procrastinate watching this 3 min video. 😂.....but not.
This was actually the biggest pile of nonsense
This guy is so FAKE… his patient and clients yeah right 🙄 Write everything down 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Wtf is this video lol
I just skipped this trash
