First time watching and I’m definitely going to try timing how long each aspect of making my next video takes!

Also really appreciate how detailed and well made this video is👏

Faye ! As a 46F PGY3 who only got ADHD Dx this yr I did it incredibly tough. Thank you for this and all of your videos and insights; I appreciate you so, so much xx

[deenapie]

Love this video so much!! Getting diagnosed with ADHD over a decade ago really helped open my eyes! I worked with my therapist to find out ways to harness it and tap into the hyperfocus aspect of it, and that was life-changing! I ended up graduating college with magna cum laude honors, and I was never a good student in high school previously! Thank you for sharing all these tips, they're a great reminder and so useful for those who might not have access to a great therapist to help them through this experience!

[opmdl]

love watching your videos! it's like having an older sister that gives you genuine advice.

As someone who is currently wearing their prescription sunglasses because they lost their actual glasses in the time it took to take a shower, while trying to grow a youtube channel, deal with losing her dad and studying a human biosciences degree and waiting for an ADHD diagnosis, I needed this. 💚💚💚

[Pavandeep]

Thank you so much for uploading this! Great content, even better presentation! You rock Dr. Bate, keep up the great work! This community needs you ❤

[PharoDe]

You Fixed like 90% of my problems with video... Thank

[caitlinmoore]

I appreciate your content so, so much Faye. You are very inspiring to me as an ADHD woman currently going through university again to retrain and work in the emergency services. I realised I had ADHD when lockdown and working from home magnified issues I had been struggling with my whole life and it was confirmed when I sought official assessment. My new career is going to suit my neurospicy brain so much better than my last one, but getting through uni again to get to that point has been such a struggle. Your content has been so helpful since I discovered you a few weeks ago (wish I'd found you when I started the course!!) and I'm going to implement some of your tips during this last push. Wish me luck 🤞✨

I haven’t been diagnosed with adhd, but sometimes I think I have it.
I’m a med student and I just started watching the video (I’m in minute 2), and I’m laterally tidying my room instead of studying for a very important test I have this afternoon 😂

[hediyemsu]

NORMALLY I WOULD NOT DO THIS BUT THE SERETONIN BOOST THAT I HAVE RN SOOOO FIRST COMMENT♥️♥️♥️

[briansl]

Thanks so much for doing this Faye! Ironically, I stumbled upon your channel, while taking a break from binge watching youtube videos on channels I'm subscribed to, but I'm glad I watched this very insightful and highly informative production. You ahae a new subscriber!

I have OCD which is pretty similar to ADHD in some aspects hopefully these techniques will help me get through my senior year in high school and college .Thank you so much ❤.

[Annakuijken]

I love your videos. It's so impressive that you're a doctor and a youtuber. If it's not to much to ask, I would love another vlog. Thanks for all your advise.❤

[carleyknight]

I’m not diagnosed but I relate to so many symptoms! Thank you for this video, I will be trying these out, I have so many goals but am never on track😂

[carole]

Flow state sometimes start with small wins. I like starting with a quizz to check my knowledge and it puts me in a good mood to dive deeper.

[edmundobaca]

My concentration topic. Was from appears a irresponsable person to can't walk. Because I remembered, even can't look the tv, Dr. Faye🤲⛄🫠. I have been couple of years living like this. My heart or brain is related to focus problems. Is not nothing easy. But I love routines like always I will love my father. 💖🤲👋🏻

[yahelsayedoff]

i love tha fact that you are using real studies, i feel like its the only thing that convince to start habbits💪

[LaibaNoor-Journey]

It is not adhd every time, ocd is also a lot more distractive. These problems exist but are not taken seriously. Sometimes, it's just stress that is dominating our plans and interests.
