BREAKS
It seems that most of the ADHD people , has problem when controlling their attention or energy outcome. They easily put too much energy or focus into the given action – resulting in quick severe exhaustion. It also works reversely – when they feel no motivation they tend to put their attention very hard on and easily being called „lazy“
So it is crucial to take many different quick breaks during the day to prevent exhaustion.
FLOOD
I see it as a moment when my Brain is overhelmed „flooded“ with the different tasks of different goals -you can imagine it as the same moment when your PC has too many tasks opened and got slower or even frozen. My mind does not know what to do first and it stalls.
What helps me a lot is being aware of myself and recognize that it is happening – so I can act and prevent it getting worse and worse.
HOW TO RESTART?
So far most effective seems to be drop everything and just do some movement. With 30 minutes of faster walk, run , gym anything – you most likely should get some sufficient clarity or „restart feeling“
HOW TO PREVENT?
PLAN
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or even 5 year plan may significantly help you to stay on the track and being aware of what is important in given moment – WHAT TO FOCUS ON!
