Wala ka nanamang FOCUS?! Self:Talk with Ken-ken Somera Episode #9 FOCUS, ADHD, SHINY OBJECTS, MULTI-TASKING, MOTIVATION - Discussion with Dr. Strix Toledo In this episode, Ken-ken Somera and Dr. Strix Toledo explore the nature of focus, the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD, the pitfalls of multitasking, and the role of motivation in driving progress. They emphasize the importance of subtracting distractions, creating effective systems, and finding motivation within personal progress. Here's a detailed overview of the things we've discussed for this episode * Dr. Strix Toledo is recognized for expertise in productivity, clarity of mind, and focus. He has conducted workshops focused on improving focus planning, which is held annually in December and January. * Focus is explained as the process of removing unnecessary elements and distractions to concentrate on a single task or objective. It involves subtracting attention from non-essential matters. * The hosts discuss their own experiences with focus, mentioning that concentration was a challenge for them while growing up. * The misconception of focus is highlighted, where many people assume it's about narrowing attention to a single point, but Dr. Toledo clarifies that it involves removing attention from irrelevant areas, leaving only what's essential. * The hosts share insights about how focusing on one task at a time is more effective than attempting to multitask. Multitasking is described as focusing on one signal while relegating other tasks to the background as noise. * The concept of "shiny object syndrome" is introduced, suggesting that the allure of new and exciting things often distracts people from their main objectives. * Individuals who struggle with ADHD are often chastised for being lazy or unfocused. Dr. Toledo suggests that creating systems with environmental cues can help those with ADHD maintain focus. * Strategies for helping individuals with ADHD include breaking tasks into smaller steps and using external cues or reminders to keep them on track. * We talked about motivation and its connection to progress. We shared the viewpoint that progress is a strong motivator, and that focusing on making continuous improvements leads to sustained motivation. * Dr. Toledo emphasizes that motivation is not solely an external force, but rather, people should seek motivation within themselves by recognizing the progress they make. ============ Learn more with SELF:TALK with Ken-ken Somera More episodes here (Easy access links below!)
