Yes, we are hiding focus secrets from you!
Want to get super focused? ADHD’ers have a super focus power. Let me teach you, a mere mortal, how to super focus.
This is from a painful process of getting ADHD under control without using Ritalin or Adderall. Not the journey for everyone, but the startup founders who have ADHD are not taking Ritalin or Adderall, and so I did the hard work to find out why.
The Pain Part
Imagine going several decades of not succeeding and not know that you have ADHD:
-flunking out of concurrently attempting a BS and MS in molecular biology at Purdue University (a slight hint at my super focus part of ADHD)
-several start business false starts
-acing a pre-engineering PSAT test in jr high school despite not studying
-earning A’s in calculus by sleeping in class during summer sessions
-earning A in ecology lab by flunking every test except the final project
-And yes mixed in there somewhere is the 48 to 64 hours bouts of playing internet MUDs
