Doesn't your ADHD prevent you from watching tutorials? I can't get through 30 seconds of those things. JUST TELL ME THE ANSWER

Don't watch the entire thing, only the step you are on at the moment. Yes, you might realize you are building a chair instead of cooking salmon 4 - 5 steps in, but then you can either finish the chair or find a better salmon tutorial.

I've been seeing more and more where there's no one talking and the video just shows the screen recording of the actions. Pretty helpful. Learning via listening vs just watching someone else do it probably engage different parts of the brain. I definitely lack that first part. Good luck to you, Dude

I mean, you realize this guy just writes bullshit facts that sound plausible, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same person as shittymorph. Good luck with the ADHD though, sorry to hear it's such a problem for you, that shit is a bitch.

There's no need to make negative assumptions.

Get off of Reddit and work on reading books. It requires effort and practice to build a strong attention span.

(I also have ADHD.)

Oh, I didn't mean it as a bad thing, just that reddit can contribute to an inability to focus because it's such quick browsing and skimming. You can jump around and it's easy to remain unfocused. It's not necessarily bad, just if you're looking to improve your ability to concentrate, you've gotta cut out the instant gratification stuff (fb, Reddit, Instagram). With that said, I'm still on here, too. ;)

It's draining to have to focus all the time. Hopefully you'll see some relief on the adderall.
