I have adhd and have been taking adderall for more than a decade (wow I just now realized it’s been that long). Ultimately, I’ve learned to just stay vigilant with my attention. I try to manage my brain the way I manage my kids hah. Direction and control but plenty of freedom and independence mixed in too. It’s a balance that is rarely ever perfect though.

Btw, I have a bookmark folder named “interesting” that has maybe 100 links and growing. I don’t think ive read the content for any one of those links to the end. However, reading the list and remembering why I found it interesting in the first place is satisfying



I find that bc I have to manage my kids, I can't manage my brain as well. Ever go through this?
