When I lived with untreated ADHD I was the "overweight sports-fan of the Deep Work Productivity Olympics." I think, the same way that sports-fans buy all the merch and live vicariously through athletes, the same way, ADHD people wish they could do what "Deep Work" athletes do. So I believe that people like me, when my [[Adult ADHD]] was untreated, buy all the merch and books and follow the instructions to a tee. Only to wind up frustrated because the core issue is never addressed. - I aspired to all the productivity hacks but never are able to make it work for me. - I did everything "right" except that my personal genetic setup requires a different type of intervention. It's TRAGIC because I couldn't figure out what held me back. It made me feel guilty, worthless, stupid, disabled. - [[Neurodiversity Disclaimer]] ## Related - [[Adult ADHD]] - [[ADHD and Glasses Example]]
