Landing station and distraction log are great suggestions. I’m definitely going to implement them in my own life and recommend to patients. Great video

As a guy what literally went and gone to neuroscience PhD school to try to find the secrets to conquering the inferior ADHD brain, this is all great, and very true. I do versions of all these things (except the sensory deprivation). The problem I'd have had with this list 15 years ago, crashing and burning repeatedly in undergrad, is it would have been way too top-down. This isn't a characterization of the list itself, but the vibe I'd have gotten from it is "starting tomorrow, stop having yourself have ADHD anymore, and become ultra-conscientious. Then, after completing this step, see if your ADHD is at all mitigated."

I didn't go to, and still wouldn't make it through, med school, but as one of the few blokes to ever have a law school GPA higher than his undergrad one, the sine qua non for me was (after first being medicated consistently—sometimes a challenge itself) just ensuring I was, as often as possible, DOING something. Or you could emphasize it like—doing SOMEthing. Don't want to study? Great, do the dishes. Don't want to do that? Great, go grocery shopping. Obviously, everything that needs done needs done, so studying, usually the most aversive, I'd say "read one page, then go shopping. If I can read more than one page, great."

Reflect, journal, CERTAINLY keep lists/calendars, and try to nudge the course in the right direction based in errors in prediction/outcome etc. in the past, but most of all, just DO something, as often as possible with a sustainable level of discomfort.

This is the ENFP route anyway. Or for five-factor, something like: O 95; C 25; E 65; A 75; N 50.

That said, even starting with this list where I was then would've been helpful. DOING things requires, and this is a hard first step, apprehending what things there are that should had oughtta be gone and done. Starting with a rubric like this I can see would have saved a lot of trial and error. Thanks for some new ideas on things that possibly can be done!

Great video, thanks for making it! One of your other videos (or maybe two?) was suggested in my psychopharmacology class at school, super helpful, you do great work and are helping a lot of people (not just in your practice, which I'm sure is also true).
