Time Management and Focusing with ADHD

Some notes from someone’s words I liked.

The best way to manage time and learn how to focus might be to think of yourself as a parent and figure out how to optimize your time assuming you are taking care of a child

My broad takeaways from the article that are consistent with my experience:

Narrow your interests

You can’t be doing 10,000 different things at once and expect to succeed. Have one or 2 themes of interest at any point and pursue activities only around those themes (for example, assuming you want to be an expert in databases, only reading articles or writing code or making videos that deal with database instead of trying to learn about compilers, OSes and databases at the same time)

Prioritise Progress

If you cannot find time, even if you have 10 mins between commute or after getting something else done, just continue doing the task you were working on before and do not find a new one in its place

Focus , Focus Focus

In the age of AI and internet, the best way to win is to have taste, imagination and vision and then single mindedly pursuing that vision.
