a b o v e・visual task timer

The ADHD mind doesn’t accurately sense the passing of time. We have to consciously think about time to stay on track. When we have something to do, we basically have to choose between keeping track of time or working on the thing. What an unfortunate situation. #AskADHD

“Working twice as hard for half as much is tiring.” – Steve Copps #ADHD fatigue and exhaustion is very real. Stress on the brain’s working memory is far higher for those of us with ADHD than others—especially when switching back and forth between different tasks or thoughts.

#ADHD is basically a lack of neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters communicate within and between areas of the brain. There are 4 regions of the brain most impacted—and knowing about them explains a lot of challenges that come with ADHD: 🧵👇 #askadhd #actuallyadhd

Does watching the time help motivate you, or does it just stress you out? #askadhd

@cloudninenahalf You know what, that’s been driving me crazy. Will push an update tomorrow to fix

@TammiieeIerston @Mollys_ADHD I’m 90% sure this is why Nintendo calls it a Switch

🔆 Productivity Tip #6: Spontaneously purchasing yet another fancy keyboard (to add to the 7½ you already own) will only decrease your bank account and increase the number of keyboards you are now legally responsible for. Next time, try making guacamole instead.

That ‘thing’ you’re putting off and procrastinating about? Yeah I know. I’ve one of those ‘things’. Let’s #GetThatThingDone

#AskADHD, when did you realize that your stress/anxiety/depression levels are far higher and much more consistent than others? How much of it do you attribute to #ADHD?

Sometimes I worry that I am too gentle for this world

@On_An_Impulse @AskADHD Yes—read up on norepinephrine, the prefrontal cortex, and especially the basil ganglia to learn more in depth. All of these in the brain are impacted by ADHD

#askadhd Do you think ADHD affects your ability to form habits? Are there any research papers on this?
