I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago, and it&#x27;s been quite a struggle.<p>When I started in tech, I had a difficult time focusing on the right tasks at work. Sometimes I would hyperfocus and complete an entire week&#x27;s work in one day, but most of the time, I was suffering and fighting myself to keep focused. Context switching was a tremendous drain on my energy, and my organization was chaotic at best.<p>I felt like shit all the time.<p>Two years ago, I started interviewing other &quot;out&quot; ADHD professionals to see what they were doing to manage. My goal was to be productive AND happy at the same time. I succeeded.<p>I found several patterns from these interviews and started compiling notes. I was also shocked at how poor our experiences were with therapy! The majority said therapy was NOT helpful with ADHD.<p>Other ADHD books seemed to be focused on &quot;coping&quot; rather than thriving, or they made overzealous claims about ADHD being a &quot;superpower&quot;. It&#x27;s a neurodevelopmental disorder with pros and cons, not magic.<p>When the pandemic hit, I quit my job and started writing. I took my own advice, and this project has been completed with minimal stress. I can&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m actually launching something that I didn&#x27;t have to <i>grind</i> on. I was able to maintain sustainable productivity, and I think you can too.<p>If you have (or think you have) ADHD, I think this book can help you build a better strategy for how to maintain happy productivity while avoiding burn-out.<p>The book is DRM free and available in all major e-book formats, and the companion videos are all recorded at 1080p 60fps.
