Three Years of Hacking Your ADHD

Hacking Your ADHD just passed the three-year mark, which I'm just amazed at. Amazed with having stuck with it, amazed with how the show has grown and amazed with my wonderful audience. It also feels like I was just doing the 2-year episode not so long go… you know, like 12 months ago or so. That's the funny thing about time, it just keeps marching on regardless of how well we're paying attention to it.

For this year's anniversary episode, I decided that I'd take a look back at some of the things I've learned about ADHD over the last three years. I'm going to cover some of the a-ha's and misinformation that I've had and seen - as well; I'll be looking at how my views on trying to be neurotypical have changed and some of the ways I've learned to better embrace my ADHD. And, of course, I just want to mention that this episode is just touching on this topic of what I've learned because, well, it's been a lot.

And I also just want to take a quick second to thank everyone who has decided to join me on this ADHD journey. I truly appreciate having you along for the ride.

This Episode's Top Tips

1. There are always going to be more a-ha moments when we go "oh, that's an ADHD thing?" but we've got to temper those moments with the understanding that there is also a lot of ADHD misinformation out there and we always have to check our sources.
2. While it can feel like we're just a flavor of neurotypical it is important for us to realize that ADHD has it's own way of operating the brain and that we need to look for solutions that work with our brains, not someone else's.
3. It's more than okay for us to do less, in fact a lot of the time is better for us to take something off our plate because we often take on too much. By doing less we're allowed to focus more on the things that really matter.
