Avoiding Toxic Productivity Advice for ADHD

Hello, my name is Jesse J Anderson, it is great to be here with you today, I am really excited to talk about

toxic

productivity

and specifically how

toxic

productivity

affects our drd brain I had problems to make me problems and that I had not really done to me. All my teachers knew that I was not reaching my potential, they really did not tell me what my potential was or what I could do to achieve that potential, but I knew that I was not up to what they thought should be up to it and the only thing I could really think about trying to live and that that was to strive more and that man does not work more than it is not a solution when you have

adhd

, it is no more effective that it is more effective that it is more effective that it is more effective that it is more effective, it is more effective that it is more effective, it is more effective that it is more effective. same, the same, the same, the same, which is that it is nothing more than a solution.

We strive more than most because we are desperate for a solution and we have these very good intentions and we cannot make them connect with our real action, so trying to really be a terrible

advice

for people with ADHD even though that is what we are going because we are trying to make it work, but the real problem is that the systems are built for us that are not built with our brains in mind, there is only one specific quotera. It really only resonates with me and at first Hamilton says he looked at me as if he were stupid, he was not stupid and the man connected to me, that's how I felt in school that I knew I was not stupid that I did not know that I was intelligent and that it was really intelligent to discover things that was a great problem solving.

Somehow, and people would say that they thought it was stupid or all the other labels that the people that the TDAB makes you know that you are disorderly disorderly disorderly all that kind of thing accumulated me and I did not know why and I really did not know that I really did enough because I really found a solution in the school. Any task, but a while after leaving school, I discovered the Getting Things movement that began when David Allen released his book Getting Getting Things and then, shortly after, the blog folders 43 left Merlin Mann and, although that really began the productivity movement of doing things in the 2000s.

Solution for me was all these excellent strategies and

advice

and ate. I loved it, I was going to do all the things I did the entrance tray of things and used the context, I even built a PDA hipster that if you do not know it is basically a lot of index cards type of trimmed, I also tried an email without touching an email that once was an email that once saw an email that once saw an email that never touches you an email that never more. Act accordingly and take it out of your entrance tray so you have nothing in your entrance tray.

I did all these systems for years. I tried to make them work. I would spend on weekends what I thought was going to be the perfect solution that I thought this was the one that would be the solution that would spend a whole weekend and work for a few days or a few weeks or so, but eventually it would always block me and that I never knew why the problem, but the problem is that this was built for my brain for my brain, this was a brain so that my brain was built by my brain. They were built for neurotypics that were built even specifically for David Allen's brain, UH GTD, it is the perfect system for David Allen, but for the rest of us it doesn't always work, especially when he has an

adhd

brain and, in David Allen's book he could not trust myself, but I knew it was true that I knew that these systems would always come down and I never really knew why the problem could not trust my own Brain and I think that is really reduced to these three main defects and a neurotypic productivity, the first is motivation and this is really huge, this is the most important point that I want same as the same, and the rewards, and the same, and the same, and the same, and the same ones, are the same that are motivated, and is not motivated.

ADHD as we understand when something is important and obviously we love the rewards as if we do something and get a reward in the end, which is great, that it is an excellent way that they can potentially know a new habit, but if it tells us that there is a great reward at the end of the path that really does not give us any motivation at the beginning of starting, even if that reward increases, the reward that becomes bigger and that it is not really big We must have the second part of the part of the flawities.

Bright distractions and objects The productivity systems are full of distractions and anyone can be trapped to play with all the small bits and bobs, as there is so much to adjust and continue refining even for those who do not have ADD, but it is especially bad for us that the distractions are so harmful to us, it can completely derail where we cannot do something that we are going to spend the time that follow the time that the system follows. At the end of the day, we do not have a system that really works for us and the third important defect is that our brains have learned to turn off in response to overwhelm, when we have too much on our dish, we simply do nothing.

Do hard work, just force it to do it, even if it is boring, even if it is not fun, make yourself it, but with an adhd brain, we are unable to make it really not an option, it is not that we choose completely, and that we do not sign up completely and that does not point us completely and that we do not fall. We can overcome it to happen, it reminds me of one of my favorite Jim Gaffigan lines that he speaks when he had his fourth son and people asked him how Jim is like to have a fourth son and said that he imagines that you are drowning and someone gives you a baby and that is what he feels for our brain that is missing that dopamine when he does not have to absorb when he does not absorb it, it is not the dop He simply cannot overvalue him, he simply cannot overvalue him, he simply can't fly over Dopamine.

Desperate, it cannot breathe, it is as if it did not have oxygen and try to have it more and more tasks and responsibilities and things in which it has worked is as if I cannot even breathe here, I need that dopamine. I cannot simply ignore this basic dopamine need to do these difficult tasks. To help you do things, you will tell you things like Get Up Up previously, the zero entry tray is a stoic training two hours a day, does not eat carbohydrates, sugar or fat or calories and finally eat the frog first and this is actually one of my favorite examples of neurotypic productivity advice that really does not work for most people with tdad, and comes from a date that says that it is a job that says that it is a job to Fría is the best.

It is that the frog is so ugly that the task that you do not want to do that is difficult for the advice to take that thing and do it early in the morning and I took the advice is to take a great project and divide it into all its individual steps and then you can see what are the tasks you should do to do it and it is another axiom Steps and then, I can launch my system and then know that the things that must be so that they have done it to be so to do so, let it be so that it is to make it be so that it is so that it is so that it is so that it is possible to be possible. work it just doesn't work for us we try to eat the frog first but what ends up HAPPEning is we just star at the Frog for Hours and feel like a failure for

avoiding

the frog all day and getting nothing done at alle meanwhile wondering what is wrong with you andy you Follow This Basic Advice That Must Work Perfectly for Everyone Else and Dread Seeing That Same Frog Waiting for You Tomorrow we get Stuck On That Big Task It's Too Much and We Just Avoid It and Stare At It All Day and Not Get Anything Done at all and with the other Breaking Council Big Project In all its steps, it sounds logical, it makes sense, but then, when we try to do it instead of breaking a great project in all its steps, we break that overwhelming project in all its steps, oh wow, which is a lot of steps, I am estimating the estimation time.

This is what you do, you start dividing your project into steps, but eventually you get bored of the steps you think about something interesting and open of 50 tabs on that subject and you end up reading about the history of the space program and do you know that Apollo 11 had to change the course in the last second and landed four miles of its planned destination? Although they sound as logical advice, logical advice that we should apply, they simply do not work, it does not work for us, which results in themselves, we begin to think that, he hears, this advice is working for other people, these gurus or whoever recommends it, so it must be working for other people, why is it not working for me something that must be broken with me?

Good intentions, but our actions simply do not align and we do not know why, and follow this neurotypical advice often makes that compound even worse, this makes labels as lazy or whatever even more hurtful because we know how difficult we are trying to make it work and that they know that our intentions are in the right place and simply does not occur and the third Neurotypics are included in a large number of distractions. Follow tips and tips and apply things to your life to make it more productive, but for people with ADHD, these distractions are much more harmful, as we can spend a full weekend working on the project and then do anything, but we continue to modify the system that thinks that I only do this little thing and so small that it will be the solution and that we only have to do that they have been available when they are available with a complex product system with a complex product system with a complex product system.

The motivation overwhelmed and distractions The productivity council is normally based on these neurotypic motivations that take into account the consequences and rewards and that do not work for us, so we must find another way to motivate the way in which people with ADND find motivation are through the interest of Dr. William Dodson. Find something that captivates your interest something that you are fascinating or interesting and that you want More than someone who tells you how you cannot make it impossible that suddenly, I will demonstrate that they are wrong and becomes my goal of life and then that motivation appears because I am fulfilling this head challenge in the room, one complete one and all this is all about the expiration dates and dead lines.

On the back of the corner, then we can fly to action and do many things so that finding those deadlines and dates of expiration is essential to motivate us to do the things that do the other things that happen when we use these four C when we find a task that uses captivate to create competition or complete our motivation our motivation. However, we find something captivating or creative and we begin to do this project and after that train begins to go, we begin to develop that impulse and then, when we want to eat the frog, it is much easier, so, instead of eating the frog first, we must first eat the ice cream.

CAPTIVATE OF C CREA COMPITE COMPLETE, that one of those steps will align with one of those so that I can find that motivation and put the clues to roll, so with all that in mind I have some strategies that I want to share with you and none of them will work for all and even those who work for you will not work every time our brain work only to be new and they will work with the things that are needed to be new to youresults. If they work, they use it while it works, I mean, if it does not put it for a while and tries a different strategy, but I hope this helps to put those four C action, my first strategy that I like to call about the pivot and this is about knowing in advance that our productivity system will fail.

Trying a new application or a new system, we do not invest in it as if it were the final solution of everything, we know that we will eventually fail more likely and then we only pivot a new system and that is good that we do not need to feel bad about that, it is not about shame for that system that we did not fail, it did not work for that time and now we are advancing to something new, only that we feel again that we are again. It comes every time it comes every time that is every time it is every time it is every time it is every time it comes every time it is what comes from time to time, and what comes, and come on, and we are going to the same time we are going, and what comes, and what are we going, what is coming.

Are Pomodoro's timers? You don't have to be strict with him, I think it's 25 minutes to work for five minutes per break. I like to do about 15 minutes of work 10 minutes of rest and then, sometimes, I will be focused and I will put myself in a slot. That he likes that urgency to do something is done another strategy is to look Seguera give you safe to your Setment Insurance to your safe insurance to your safe insurance to your safe insurance to your Sego Sego from safe to your do not end You move, what a big difference can make, so instead of saying the kitchen or I am even going to do the dishes they are going to go.

The Time That'll Build Up Like Okay Well now I Started I Can Do Sub More But Give Yourself The Freedom to Walk Away If That's Enough Like You Know What I Did The Two Dishes I Did That Micro Committe Little Commitments Can Help Get The Ball Rolling For Stuff Like That Another Strategy Is Changing Your Environment We Crave That Novelty Subject New and So A Lot Of The Time I'll Go Work In A Coffee Shop Even Though there's Distractions and Subject Won't Work Vry Well But A Lot of Time The novelty of people who move around simply cause creativity and can motivate me to do some things in part of it could be the aspect of duplication of the body, but part of it is only the hustle I play and this is really distracted, but that you can do things that are going to do things, only that you go to the questions, which goes to the questions that are reverse or that it is reverse.

Each third question is something like that it does not seem like a big problem can add a little more interest that will help you motivate me to do things, I know it sounds silly, but that little thing as if I'm going to do everyone else. Write a thousand words tonight, maybe you can say that I will write for 20 minutes tonight instead of saying that I will clean the entire office, just say that I will clean the office for 10 minutes. I will do this for 15 minutes and an additional advantage of doing this is that you learn a little how long it takes because we are generally not very well to estimate time, so when doing the time in advance and then just seeing how much it can make it a bit about what takes you, hey, I have done very good so that they were doing the time to do it 10 minutes and then, and then, can it be a bit?

I know that he hears 10 minutes of work on this, it's about how it looks and finally I just want to say the world and turn it into a better place, luckily, you can use these strategies, put them into practice and make a change make a difference in the world, it will not always be perfect.
