This Thursday TALKADHD is looking at How to take control of your #ADHD. It's a big topic. But what does this question mean to you? What does control means to you? What are the questions you'd like to answer? #ADHD #ADHDSupport #adhdpodcast

People with #ADHD: What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself that you wish you’d known earlier? 🤔 For me, it’s knowing that I need to verbally process things to reach a conclusion. My first idea is probably not the best, the most accurate, or the most articulate. Getting to talk through my thought process with someone who understands this intent is a GAME changer for me. (This is also why I hate being put on the spot during important discussions! Give me a minute to consider all the options in advance.) What about you? #RevFlix

Everyone has their own unique rhythm when it comes to productivity and peak performance. Do you prefer hitting the ground running early in the morning or do you prefer to burn the midnight oil?

When I asked this question, I wasn't certain how those with #ADHD diagnoses would reply, but I believed quite a bit in #TDD as having systems within it to make two things safer: - forgetting - becoming distracted I became interested in this topic when I first read _The Power of Full Engagement_. (The title sounds bad; I liked the book very much.) The message of managing energy by reducing stress spoke deeply to me. It seems clear to me that making it safer to forget and become distracted helps on two levels: - surface: easier to use one's time and energy both more effectively and efficiently - one layer deeper: less likely to tell stories to oneself about how ineffective and inefficient one is due to forgetting things "too often" or becoming distracted "too easily" I'm glad for the confirmation, then! Tricks such as test lists and one new failing test at a time from #TDD in particular _and_ Inbox Technique and working in shorter bursts more generally seem to help a wide variety of folks, whether they have an #ADHD diagnosis or don't. I like to have the free option to forget things and become distracted without losing my spot and without feeling bad about myself. This isn't because I want to forget things and become distracted, but because I want to reduce the cost of forgetting things and becoming distracted, particularly on those days where to coffee hasn't kicked in, I haven't slept well, or I've just fought with someone on the internet.

I have a lot to say about this. I have begun writing something that may become an article or blog post, or maybe even longer. Anyone interested in this topic feel free to reach out to me. #testdrivendevelopment #adhd #tdd

I’ve got a little bit of Neurofuzz today 🧠💭 I’ve spent all week iterating Thruday’s assistive visual daily planner app and worked myself a little bit too hard!

Overall it’s been a busy week but progress has been solid, time to take a break before I overwork myself. You know what they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy If you have not seen what I’ve been working on yet; Head over to https://thruday.com #progress #achievement #adhd #autistic #epileptic #neurodiverse #ceo #founder
