People don't describe that. So it needs the right amount of challenge. It can't be too easy. It can't be too hard. It has to be something important and interesting to you.

And some people with ADHD, and I think some are ones who learn what situational factors or what internal factors can help get them into that state, but many of them still struggle with showing up when they don't want to be hyper-focused on something or have trouble engaging it when it would be useful to.

I mean, the medicine's not going to change everything, and you need to be focusing on your life as well. And I always start with scheduling. And many people with ADHD find scheduling anathema, that that's like the slaves on the galley ship being told you have to row, stroke, stroke, stroke. And what I tell them is that the part of you that's going to help make the schedule that works for you

isn't some evil taskmaster trying to make you do what you don't want to do. It's actually the wisest, smartest, nicest, kindest part of you that's identified.

And with scheduling, what I tell people is before you slide in your work or your homework or your school or externally derived tasks, I tell people you need to have the four basics. And sleep is far and away the biggest basic, particularly for, it's essential for all of us, but it's particularly critical for ADHD and there's particular reasons why it's a particular challenge for people with ADHD.
