Hello, and Welcome

ADHD and OVERLOADED  

The creative ability of our ADHD brain is both a massive benefit and a challenge to manage and control.

Your need for dopamine creates a constant pattern of seeking new ideas and opportunities that can overload your capacity to actually execute the plans you made yesterday, last week or last month. It’s like you are always trying to hit a moving target.

If you feel like you are running in circles, it might be time to stop interrupting yourself with new information or opportunities.

Every time you add new information, your brain has to start all over again to reprogram, recalculate and redefine what courses of action are needed to achieve the desired outcome.

There is a lot of thinking but little action. If you have a habit loop like this, you are making life harder than it needs to be.

• You need to stop the input and deliver the output.

• Stop interrupting yourself with more information.

• Execute ONE plan of action to completion.

• Knowledge without action is just untested information.

Free Book Notes.

I have read over 500+ books since 1992. Unfortunately, my limited ADHD memory means I forget most of it within a week or two!

I did start to keep notes of interest on Word docs for later reference, and I am using these notes as the basis of what I present here.

When I’m reading and come across an inspiring idea, something I haven’t heard before, or something I want to try, I save it.

That’s all my notes are. I’m not summarising the book. I’m just saving useful ideas for myself for later recall and use.

My notes don’t replace the book. If you look through a book’s notes, like the ideas and have the time, please read the whole book. It gives you more depth, context and meaning.
