Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD

by Jesse J. Anderson

I was often ashamed of the way my brain worked and how my actions never seemed to line up with my intentions. I was also confused.

We’re often paying attention to everything all at once; so much so that we can lose track of what’s important.

Some people with ADHD say they experience hyperactivity more on the inside of their brain, even when they seem perfectly calm from the outside.

With hyperfocus, there’s often a feeling of compulsion and completionism. Worried you’ll never have this motivation again or may forget the task if you hit pause, you feel you must keep going until you’ve accomplished whatever it is you think you need to do.
