Do you have to try hard to remember it?

Absolutely not.

So our brain is literally anatomically wired so that our sensory portions and our memory are very closely linked together.

Very, very tightly connected.

So if we want to learn and we have ADHD, we don't want to use our thoughts.

We want to use our senses.

So this is why the first thing that I recommend people do is get a clock.

Okay.

And we're going to do a couple of things with a clock.

The first thing that we're going to do is measure ourselves.

So anytime you do a task, okay, you want to literally like measure how long it takes and then put it into like an Excel spreadsheet or put it into a notebook or a thing like that, something like that.

Okay.

Now, you all may have some technical questions of, OK, like how like when do I start the measurement?

So what I would say is if you want to try to do homework, right, like literally grab all the stuff and you can procrastinate.

Don't worry about procrastination.

Sit down and start the clock and then do a real world assessment of when is the homework done.

So over the course of four hours, I get very little done.

Or in the middle, you sit down and actually start doing some work.

And so you set a second timer.

You set a second timer for 15 minutes.
