Re-thinking hyperfocus: ADHD hyperfixations are essential for brain nourishment & wellbeing
Listen now
Description
Is hyperfocus just an annoying, ill-timed and inconvenient ADHD trait, like some researchers suggest? Or is it actually a fundamental and incredibly necessary method of brain functioning that actually FEEDS our brains and helps stimulate and nourish them?   In today's episode I talk about how I've re-framed hyperfocus and why I think it's incredibly important that ADHDers have a trail of abandoned hyperfixations in their wake. I share some of the random hyperfixations I've been focused on for periods of time (that I thought were complete wastes of time), and how those have ended up creating a patchwork of skills that launched my career.   I also talk about the quality and intensity of ADHD attention, and why that's so unique and a skill that's highly sought after, and needed in our world. I hope you enjoy this episode!   ----- This podcast is edited and mastered by Sam from Shred Session Studios ----- Join 30+K neurodivergents who use our evidence-based ADHD Planners: https://futureadhd.com/ Follow on IG - @future.adhd Follow on TikTok - future.adhd
