Dan Martell 19 year old watching this in 2019 and I have never been officially diagnosed. I always knew I had it and it’s pretty cool. It never really impacted my early education and communication wise but now that I’m older I find that rather then school my mind is more set on “entrepreneurship” . Meaning I have come up with so many ideas that will make me money but these ideas require a certain amount of money to start. Money is something that we all need and quite frankly I believe school isn’t going to help me start a business or make my many ideas a reality . Anyways 2019 is going to be the year I make full use of this power that many of us have. Live in canada too! great video
I appreciate your enthusiasm Dan, but add/ADHD is by no means a 'superpower' of any kind and that type of rhetoric is misleading and dishonest. Add is a disorder/misalignment of basic cognitive functions in the brain. Ask any psychiatrist.
Tips with timestamps bc im adhd and get bored easily: 2:48 - Nutrition. sugar is bad, drink water from your personal bottle. 4:32 - Work out, even in your room, just sweat. He didn't mention it in the video but exercise causes our bodies to release dopamine, which our adhd brains need more of. 5:34 - Sleep. Use white noise and read, create a routine that tells your brain that you are indeed going to sleep. Min 7h, try to go for 8h of sleep. 6:37 - Morning routine/ritual. Stick in meditation it's very important 8:14 - Use the pomodoro technique. 9:11 - Energy management. Try to understand which are the best times for you to do certain tasks during the day. 10:34 - Music. 11:52 - Block time. Just schedule your day to the minute so you don't have to decide during the day. 13:16 - Build a team, for the support and delegating tasks.
1.) Nutrition 2.) SWEAT everyday 3.) 8 hrs of sleep nightly 4.) Morning Routine 5.) 30 MIN POMODORO technique 6.) Energy Management 7.) Music 8.) Block Time 9.) Build A Team Thank you 🙏
"Pills don't build Skills, and Skills don't alter brain chemistry." These tips do help. Please don't feel ashamed of you need to combine with meds to get on.
I have learned how to deal with myself better because I have not used meds since childhood I could learn coping skills. I have known people and kids who have been on meds and they have a really hard time dealing with themselves off meds because they never got a chance to create coping skills for their behaviors..... With that said I believe its a personal choice if you want to try meds for ADHD.
While meds don't work for me for some reason, I sure wish they did. I'm working on building my skills but the fact remains that life is just twice as much work for us folks who already are more easily tired with cognitive tasks. I saw an ADDitude article recently that suggested we look at the side effects of NOT taking medication, and I thought that was an interesting reframe.
Just discovering I'm ADHD at 39. Devastating...not because I am but because I've gone all these years not knowing and realizing life shouldn't have been such a struggle and feeling dumb lazy and alone. Attempted entrepreneurship and not giving up but it's in the crapper right now.
i feel you 100% im only 22 but i have an assessment in a month so shoud finally get diagnosed, it is very frustrating but all we can do now is try to turn it around & use it to our advantage, hyperfocus on things we enjoy. can take comfort in knowing that it wasnt your fault, its a learning disability
Diagnosed at 38 and the same exact feelings. It's been 6 years and I'm still working to undo all of the negative self-talk and beating myself up that I (and others) have done all these years. It takes time, but you can do it. It's getting better. The hardest part is not looking back and ruminating on what could have been or what should have been had I known myself better. Working through the guilt of how, not knowing, affected my life and those closest to me. It's definitely a process. And it's helpful to know you're not alone. Be gentle with yourself. The biggest helpful change I made was to learn to accept who I am, and identify and explain that to others moving forward. For example I now explain to people that my brain works a little differently so I need them to repeat, slow down or give me time to write down what's being said, etc. Slow and steady and shiny(:
- I start watching this video - 10 seconds in, I pause the video - Open a new tab to google something I thought of - Don't even remember what I thought of in the first place Ah yes, ADHD.
They are fake pills please everybody don't buy them. The DEA regulates the drug companies for the number of amphetamine salts that they can have, so it doesn't make sense an online store has them.
Try Routinery. It's a paid app but worked for me. it allows you to create routines by stacking habits together. For instance morning and evening routine. You just press play and countdown of habit #1 is starting, then you press ''ok'' to go to next habit etc. It has visuals too btw. Try it
I am a self taught programmer with ADHD - and spent my life frustrated with how my mind was always racing. I was constantly being sent to the office in school because of acting out due to being bored, and in many cases I would be ostracized to a desk all by myself just so that I could focus on my test/class work. I am now a software engineer for the US government without a college degree, and all of my peers have a master's degree or higher. Worst of all... I am getting bored and am obsessing over entrepreneurial thoughts day in and out. Point being, I learned how to harness my ADHD for solving profitable problems for others, now I am striving to aim my ADHD towards problems I want to solve. Out of everything he said, I think the most important is diet. I removed sugar (and went vegan) and my focus went way up... like waaay over 9000... ;) . Thanks for making such a fantastic video and channel.
@@danmartell Polyphasic has also greatly helped my ADHD. The "morning focus" can be tapped into via strategically timed naps. The other one you didn't mention, and for clear professional reasons, is nofap. Dropping addiction to sexual objectification and regaining the throne to my mind and train of thought greatly increased productivity.
I'm currently teaching myself programming. It seems like a good fit for me. I have a BA in something totally unrelated and am reluctant to mention it to anyway(especially on a resume).
For years I’ve tried to deny my adhd and I’ve struggled silently. Now that I’m accepting it, I’ve been looking for ways to manage it without medications and I found this video. Thank you. Now I don’t feel so hopeless.
In my case, I simply didn’t even know that adhd exists. I thought I’m just a lazy-ass and I don’t deserve to be successful, because I can’t force myself to do something useful or to be productive
I decided to stop ADHD meds when my coworker told me I didn't seem like the same person I was before. I want to be who I was born to be. A badass ADHD Superhero :)
Exactly! That was a big reason I got off my meds / I wasn't me when I was on them. Great to hear Ron. What do you do now to help manage the power? :) DM
Interesting. I feel like I'm more myself on them. As in, I feel like I can do all the things I want to do which helps alleviate my anxiety and depression, increases my confidence, and helps me feel happier overall because I can finally express my full potential. Everyone is different! I'm glad you're doing what's best for you.
@@iamakhilesh When on meds you tend to dare more things than before and tolerate more etc, the thing is that with some things it goes off in exaggerating amounts. Thus you change your natural self according to third person, but you do notice it yourself as well. It's not too bad but it's up to yourself as an individual if these changes are worth it and true to heart.
Exactly brother, people calling it a disability are just some depressed pussies. It is definitely a fuckin superpower and we are the updated versions of the normal. Those people are just so lazy, they can't compete with us.

@Vishavjeet it’s a process for sure. I’ve learned that I have a hard time applying myself to big moves and being stuck on hard times makes it more of a challenge for me personally. I feel I may need more help outside myself.

About the reading and getting sleepy: A good trick of the mind if you want to read a book and *not* get sleepy and even get energized by it is to use your finger to guide your eyes through the lines. Something about the action of pointing and having something moving with your eyes turns it into a kinesthetic action and also helps people who “learn by doing.”(:(:(:

I absolutely appreciated this video, so many entrepreneurs talk like they only see people's struggles as excuses, but it really feels like you get that everyone is on a different path! For me sleep is something I cannot manage, I have sleep apnea from a broken nose when I was younger, which is something I'm getting fixed, but once that's done my impulse control and my attention will significantly improve, and it's videos like this which encourage and inspire!
Hello Dan, I work as a psychotherapist and do non-traditional psychotherapy with people who have addiction issues. I can not tell you how helpful this video has been for myself and some of my clients who have attention deficit superpowers! As you probably know, there is a very high incidence of ADHD in this population. Your suggestions have given hope to my patients which is a powerful substance for those in recovery. Many thanks for the work you do. Spero Alexio.
I want a routine and rituals but every system I try I fail at :( I just can’t seem to get organized in any way with my life….I’m going to adopt this little by little!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Emma--I used to leave stuff everywhere (thank God most people are honest!) Then I realized I cant go anywhere without my car keys so I would put them with whatever I needed to take with me--it worked! Leaving stuff by my exit door also helps a lot
Maybe don’t do a system, do a customized one that works for you start with one thing you absolutely love and brings joy to you and then build on it, small blocks. Maybe meditation In bed before you even get out of bed, then water and breakfast that alone is a great start, even the meditation and water 🤍 but I know what you mean it can be challenging finding what works for you. Everyone makes it looks so nice and fluffy and easy but truly it’s what works for you. I like to sit in the back yard and just soak in the sun in the mornings with a green tea after I meditate it definitely grounds me
Hey Bro, I say this with love, I would suggest changing the title to something like: 'How I improve by ADHD using these tips' There is two camps, people that are set on medication and those how don't like the idea of medication. This video can help both groups and there is no reason to create a division, with or without medication, these tips will help!
The title is how I manage my ADHD without medication. Just saying. He isn't excluding anybody. I'm watching this because i want to try to manage without medication, but I may go on it later if things don't get better.
Absolutely well said Mikael.. from your talk you said you stopped taking medication only 8 years ago which means medication played an important part. And that is the role of meds. To help you improve to the point where you create a strong foundation and then one day you may not require it.. maybe.
This made me cry as my daughter is 23 with type one diabetes and is convinced she deals with this too. I'm going to pass this vid to her right now, thank you so much..she wants to get better without meds as well..God bless you!!
This was so helpful. Just found out I have adult ADHD I was freaking out because I don't want to take drugs for the rest of my life. And I have so much I would like to do.
You sound like a replica of what I’ve been doing for years. I thought I was just not very smart. Never knew I had adhd. I just worked 4x as much and did all of these things as I discovered them to work. Meditation and exercise and brain exercises to focus and then I can go on my day to be able to keep my creativity and stay on task. I’m learning so much from watching this multiple times to start working on my focus. I do not want meds. You’re really an inspiration
I never liked the normal meditations, I tried them many times, always hated it. But I love to stare at nature and listen to lounge music. It brings me down and gives me such inner peace and happiness. Especially if I can look at trees in the golden hour agianst a blue sky. Its really easy to not think about anything while looking at trees. This is my personal meditation. Maybe it helps someone.
I have Adhd and undersand that many people want to be normal like anyway else but if your brain is different from rest. It is like push fish to walk. You are special and you are not boring person for sure. It is me writing cause i couldn't sleep because my mind is racing
I have ADHD and yes I did come to the comment section during your video, HOWEVER, I paused the video and wanted to thank you for such an awesome video. So much of this clicked with me. I’m 40 and found out I had ADHD at 39. It’s starting to change my life now I know my brain is wired differently, not just ‘broken’. Some excellent tips here, some I already use but others I’m going to try. And I am 100% with you on exercise _every _single _day, it makes a massive difference. Back to your video now :)
Diagnosed yesterday at age of 35 and now I have answers to all the question i had for years, i have been switching jobs , some worked because the job and people around me helped me structure, some went really bad a complete failure , but now i can look internally and train my self for the gift of ADHD
Never been officially diagnosed with ADHD cuz my parents think it’s just a “hereditary trait” of the family, and school teachers thought I was being annoying on purpose.
ADHD does have a hereditary component to it. In 60 to 70% of the cases of ADHD, there is a closely-related member in the family with ADHD traits too. Read this in a peer-reviewed paper earlier, can't find the link anymore sadly. So there is a high chance one of your parents or people in your family also have ADHD.
I had adhd in high school and it took me a year to get into the military , finally got in and kicking ass ... I can’t stress how important it is to workout every day , drink black coffee and stick to a damn routine . Sounds silly to most people .
I’m just going to say this, I am ready for a change so bad. I found out I have adhd just a few months ago and it has opened up my eyes so much to why I have been so messed up and different all my life..It’s so good to see videos like this making me feel hope for myself that I can absolutely use this as a super power! I’m taking any advice I can right now I’m ready to change my life around and start living my best life it’s been too long
I did most of these for years and was doing great! Then the food changed, then workout went, then the morning ritual.... I was considering going on meds after forgetting an important appointment when I came across your video. Thanks for reminding me what worked for me!
I am here because i failed the bar exam. I have done the 9 things he suggested without any advice or even before i watched this video. However, it was already too late since only did those for 2-3 months before the bar exams. I felt hope after I watched this video, it made me feel that I am not alone, and that i am on the right track. Now, for the next couple of months I will do it again and I hope that I will make it this time. Thank you Sir Dan Martell.

Wow...my child is being tested for ADHD...I dont want to put him on meds, and I dont want him to think something is wrong with him. You just gave the perfect way to explain it so that his 9 yr old self will be encouraged to handle it naturally. You said ADHD is like a super power. You just have to learn how to control it. Love this❤ Language he understands.
I have delt with severe ADHD paralysis for my entire life. My parents spend thousands of $ sensing me to sooo many different tharapists and none of it worked. I am now 32 years of age and have become absolutely fed up with it. I refuse to continue to feel sorry for myself and take control of my life! Now for the past 3 weeks I have really been starting to fight it. Taking back control of my life by writing things down, working out, running at the park and watching videos to try and figure out other ways to help myself from other people who have dealt with the same. That being said I can ONLY imagine how helpful a "support group" would be and if anyone can help me with that, I would be GREATLY appreciative!
i have ADHD when i found out i was shocked im only 13 and this video has made a big impact on my life thank you so much dan for helping me with tm adhd
This video resonates with me a lot. I'm turning a lot of me into a strength and not a deficit. I accepted who I am . I like the way you phrased things. This is the only video I've watched of you, I'll be watching more. You won a subscriber. Also, guys. ADHD is tricky, but it's a gift.
Just want to say man this video has saved my life. I've been working from home during the lockdown. I have come to suspect I have adhd and the 15 minute thing has really pulled me out of a freeze I started into with work I was losing sleep over.
I wish I had seen this sooner. I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 9 years old. When I found programming, it just made sense. The problem is.... I'm always tired, and when I am not tired, my mind is all over the place. I think writing this message and watching this whole video was an accomplishment of itself. I am about to graduate college with a computer science degree (man has it been so difficult, I can hardly focus on school). If anyone has a strategry for how to leverage their programming ability into a scalable entrepreneurial model, I would greatly appreciate those ideas. I don't care what I have or whatever, I have never medicated, but I am ready to live up to my full potential.
I was diagnosed as ADHD, at the same age as you. I'm also sure that I'm an aspie too. At every school I attended, they sent me to an educational psychologist, because they thought there was something wrong with me. I was different. Watching your video, has really helped me, to figure out how to get the best me, out of my ADHD. I've also been on the Feingold Diet, since my diagnosis. It really helps. Seeing my ADHD as a super power, is helping me to get out of my own way, and have some fun with this! Thanks!😉👍
It helped me while watching this to not look at the screen and treat it like a podcast, not sure why that made a huge difference but it did! Thanks for the info Dan!
I feel like I have ADD but wasn't formally diagnosed. I always struggled on focusing on assignments and projects as well as studying for tests. I also have problems with procrastination my whole life since I have trouble getting started on boring monotonous tasks that require intense focus.
Thank you for this - my biggest challenge is getting started again after a slump - each time i try to make a new step in the right direction things seem to end up worse - i tried to quit nicotine ended smoking cannabis (manged to stop that butt took ages). i went from cycling sportives to doing a triathlon, now i find it hard to go for walk. i was managing to work eefficiently throughout day to now taking daytime naps. the harder i try the worse i end up. Getting confused so hoping that sharing my experiences publicly might get me going again the right direction. i know the benefits of exercise - its done amazing things for me - but getting out of bed at the moment seems to be a struggle. i think it may be isolation that's destroying me but the closer i get to people the more i seem to alienate them and i have no interest in being a needy person.
This is gold. As a salesperson who has put in obsessive work and learned to succeed with clients. But struggled with work life rhythm and organization this was much needed. Thank you for your post. If you see this do you have any videos on how you plan and stay organized?
Thanks Dan. Although I’ve always known something was “wrong”, I just got diagnosed with ADHD at 45. However, happy to know what Ive already implemented throughout the years at least 6 of these tips before seeing this. So at least I know I’m on the right track and feel a little more at ease knowing I’m not the only one and can make my business a success, despite. Thanks again!
These are all great suggestions. I’m undiagnosed, but have a son with ADHD. I greatly relate to the struggles, symptoms, and feelings. I lost my Mom late last year, and gave myself “permission” to let some of good habits go…exercise, diet, meditation. My symptoms are front and center again. I’m going to get a diagnosis. One of the stumbling blocks is the idea of taking medication. This post was helpful. Good to know there are other ways to deal with ADHD.
Listening to white noise at night is the best thing I have ever discovered. My mind would go over and still be composing whatever music id been working on in the day and it would go round and round my head all night, even appearing in my dreams and would be the first thing id hear when I woke up. Listening to rain sounds at night got rid of it completely!
Hey Jay, yeah, you and an unreasonably high proportion of prisoners... that's right, ADHD is seemingly an imprisonable 'offence'. Perhaps societies are just punishing difference. No change there then. I'm sorry to hear it man; it's far to frequently a common story. Impulsiveness meets thwarted efforts and diminished outcomes with social rejection. I wish you well, especially if you live in the US of Incarceration.
This is the best ever content I have watched on ADHD….a capsule of super nutrients to successfully manage ADHD, what this video really is…. Thanks so so much for immensely helping the community…
I had diagnosed ADHD at the age of 4, this is really helpful, I've taken Adderall,Strattera, and methylphenidate[Concerta]. I've recently stopped taking medication, this really helps
Was on reddit and listened to this video at least 3-4 times. Now I’m going to pay full attention and write everything down and totally not get distracted
@@MOF43 I have ADHD and I know that I can do it without the meds. You just have to build a rock solid discipline . If you can do it with such complications the world is yours to tackle therefore agree sir
Thank you for such an enlightening video. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 5, later I realised I also have it n recently realised my father n sister too have it. I am 38 and struggled for almost 32 years with it, somehow got through college as a good student but failed in career. I was suspicious of medication n your video so much helped me tonight. You are truly n angel of God. Hopefully I will recover n would help my son to excel in life
Hi Sir! I'm from the Philippines and I'm suffering From ADHD and it really affect me a lot. It was really affect my academic performance cause I get easily forget anything. I didn't finish my job well-done and my brain keeps running out in different direction, I can't focused even in my writing and many more. That's why I decided to watch this video and try to apply for my self. Thank you very much for this video. 👍👏🙂
This video is so on point! I got diagnosed at 26 and getting it was a huge relief. It just connected so many dots that allowed me to be more compassionate towards myself and others. I got #s 1-4 in my life already and I hope to shape #s 5-9 in my life too! Thanks for this encouraging video!
I watched this video yesterday You said something at the end of this video. You said I would rather show up as me , Not as someone else from the ADHD meds. This sentence is in my head for the past 24 hours. Do never underestimate the positive effects from this video As an ADHD person since I was a child, this video made me re think about the whole new structure of my life. I love you from the other side of the world as my older brother. ♥ Please keep up the great videos don't stop One day when I'm successful I will say your name with full honour that your the reason for my success 🙏💕🙏
An American talking about litres, music to my ears Thanks a lot for this Dan, I recently got diagnosed with ADD after dropping out of school varsity twice. I felt like such a failure and the worst thing is that I knew I am reasonably smart. This I've trying this out for three months and I feel like I a different person, I feel so much more in control.
Very late to the party, but thanks for the video, and thanks everyone for the comments. Some of them are very sad - I hope those of you that were struggling are doing better, now. I don't have ADHD - and DID make it to the end of the video on normal speed. I was watching for my daughter (13) who was diagnosed this year - but is determined not to take meds. Will definitely get her to watch this. Some of the comments are brilliant - I was literally crying with laughter when everyone was saying they couldn't watch a TH-cam video without scrolling to the comments during it, or got distracted in other ways and had to keep coming back to it. I think I like the ADHD community - you guys certainly have a great sense of humour !
Adhd is nothing more than an idealistic beautiful day planned out(in your head too “busy” to write it down) to only then wake up and realize you have something more fun to do
Leaving comment to meet people. I’m a general contractor and musician in Seattle. Love to meet more people who are similar.Great video thank you. I’m on the right path.
I've already done all of these and can agree they work with a lot of effort and discipline but if you've hit rock bottom like i have and are trying to get back on your feet aswell as cut out negative external influences from your life like alcohol, weed or whatever substance of choice you impulsively abuse then i think proper treatment would be the way to go aswell as using the tips mentioned in the video. I've been undiagnosed all my life until just recently and didn't realize how much trouble this condition can cause in different areas of your life.
Thank you very much for making this video! i'm 30 years old, from Argentina and just a few days ago i heard a voice in my head telling me to search hiperactivity related to adults on google, i did and that's when i found i have adhd cause evry single thing applies to me and my life (before i had been diagnosed with bipolarity and i dont understand why the psychatrist didn't realize that i could have adhd). From that on it's been a hurricane of thoughts and emotions in my head and i really want to overcome this without medication, without stop being myself but improving my self because i've always felt this was my super power even though i wasn't completely conscious of my condition. i apprecciate so much that you took your time to make this video to inspire us and help us organize and boost the best of each of us
My family and doctor would always say I have adhd I knew this ever since I was 8 years old but I was always in denial about it and brushed it off. I always knew I had trouble focusing but I just said to myself “it’s because I’m not interested” but after everything else I heard I excepted that I really do have adhd because my everyday life can strongly relate to this video
Thank you for this. At the age of 50, I have not been diagnosed as yet but whenever I watch videos about people living with ADHD, I certainly feel it explains how I have always felt that my mind (and the way that I learn ) is somehow different from the average. If I am indeed diagnosed I want to be able to work with it without resorting to medication, if possible. BTW, whilst watching/listening to this video and taking notes, I inadvertently found myself quickly checking out my Twitter account, oops ! lol ! :)
Thank you for being so open with your ADHD and the things that helped you. I have a 14 year old grandson who has ADHD, and whose dad also had it and suffered a lot because of it. I hope we can help Sam walk through his teens to become the best Sam he can be, with or without meds.
I’ve been medicated since I was 7 years old and for the first time I am on a journey of self discovery with the goal of managing my life and my ADHD without medications. I am so grateful to have found this video and your tips. I have struggled with low self esteem and depression and frustration at myself for just being the way that i am for 20 years now. So to see your adhd success story and to hear u say that it is a super power rather than a defect is everything. Thank you :)
I'm 37 and it's just coming out that I'm ADHD. I've never been able to hold a job and support my family properly. I'm afraid of the meds, so I'm going to try what I learned in this video. Thank you
OMG! Everything you are suggesting is actually the opposite of what I do! As I’m drinking a 7x6in cup of coffee with 10 large spoons of sugar I’m really trying to figure out how to work with having ADHD. I am on meds and it doesn’t do anything for me. I’ve already stopped and started this video four times and I’m 11 minutes in. I’ve even Started and stopped writing this 3 times. I also have a two and three-year-old that definitely don’t help me with focusing. I seriously have not completed any projects in years and I’m feeling like I’m driving myself crazy.
Lucky for you you were diagnosed at 8, for some of us who are 41 and still waiting to be diagnosed we have used up most of the chemicals we did have to make us happy by over drinking or eating or drug taking and now we dont have the capability to be as wonderfully motivated as you. As hard as I try to do everything you advise it lasts 3days and then procrastination kicks in, then the self loathing then the depression and in a week it happens all over again! Life is just harder for some than others. You were blessed at not getting addicted to other things before figuring out you could do it without medication.
Hi Dan, thanks for a nice video with many tips how to manage the ADHD. I am an university student with ADD, 23yo. Since I live alone, it´s very hard for me to manage the household chores and get enought time for the studying at the same time. I´ve never taken any medication for ADD/ADHD. I am just trying to be the best version of myself. I know I can improve my skill more. Thank you for the inspiration :)
Catherine, glad I could help... I'm not saying medication isn't a good thing, I just feel it changes me and I'd rather find ways to harness my super powers and let my innner me shine brighter! DM

i didnt know i had adhd until i went to see a therapist for my anxiety. my life is a complete wreck. i cant do anything without my phone in front of me. i watched this whole video while on my phone but was still able to focus on what you were saying. every adhd drug i have tried has made my health anxiety so much worse. im going to implement some of these ideas and see how it goes. thank you
I’m surprised I made it this far. I’d almost given up and just labeled myself lazy and unfocused.

This is so relatable for me. I was on Instagram and I came across a video on Child adhd. Then it occurred to me I have adhd...I have been experiencing brain fog low motivation and depression. I feel like I am in a hole trapped in my body. This video takes me back to a counseling session I did in university that was life changing for me. He said eat lunch the same time everyday, have more vegetables with lunch, go to the gym everyday, have friends. It changed my life temporarily. Then I got off track, got married, had 4 kids and now I feel lost. I have watched myself going off a little more everyday bit I was always too busy to do anything about it. Thanks for the video.
Just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 42. Im struggling in getting my head in gear still. These steps are probably useful, I just need to get that surge and get help with harnessing this thing first and hopefully i can use some of these!
I’m happy for you. I will be honest just listening to the speed and one point after another coming fast and full was overwhelming let alone doing all those things. I can’t imagine how someone who is feeling overwhelmed with everything in life could possibly do all those things, without feeling overwhelmed.
I've not been diagnosed but I've felt for a while that I was being idiotic and lazy but it is ADHD. This video helps me put things in perspective and take action on the points you've made. Thank you Dan!
I strongly believe I have suffered it worse, given the fact that I am a Sierra Leonean...we don’t regard or even recognize mental issues...🤦🏿...thx for this❤️
ADHD almost killed my entrepreneurial career before it started. This episode covers the 9 steps I took to turn it into a superpower (without meds).
Dan Martell 19 year old watching this in 2019 and I have never been officially diagnosed. I always knew I had it and it’s pretty cool. It never really impacted my early education and communication wise but now that I’m older I find that rather then school my mind is more set on “entrepreneurship” . Meaning I have come up with so many ideas that will make me money but these ideas require a certain amount of money to start. Money is something that we all need and quite frankly I believe school isn’t going to help me start a business or make my many ideas a reality . Anyways 2019 is going to be the year I make full use of this power that many of us have. Live in canada too! great video
I appreciate your enthusiasm Dan, but add/ADHD is by no means a 'superpower' of any kind and that type of rhetoric is misleading and dishonest. Add is a disorder/misalignment of basic cognitive functions in the brain. Ask any psychiatrist.
Yellow Malice he's saying it can be utilized rather than demonized
Sellings not work.
Its just physics.
Dan Martell Can we use Keto creamer in our coffee? Keto coffee I love also.

Tips with timestamps bc im adhd and get bored easily:
2:48 - Nutrition. sugar is bad, drink water from your personal bottle.
4:32 - Work out, even in your room, just sweat. He didn't mention it in the video but exercise causes our bodies to release dopamine, which our adhd brains need more of.
5:34 - Sleep. Use white noise and read, create a routine that tells your brain that you are indeed going to sleep. Min 7h, try to go for 8h of sleep.
6:37 - Morning routine/ritual. Stick in meditation it's very important
8:14 - Use the pomodoro technique.
9:11 - Energy management. Try to understand which are the best times for you to do certain tasks during the day.
10:34 - Music.
11:52 - Block time. Just schedule your day to the minute so you don't have to decide during the day.
13:16 - Build a team, for the support and delegating tasks.
Thanks so much. You're a 🌟

I appreciate this comment
"Pills don't build Skills, and Skills don't alter brain chemistry."
These tips do help. Please don't feel ashamed of you need to combine with meds to get on.
Fantastic saying, I haven’t heard that one before! Il forget it by tomorrow morning though ha
I have learned how to deal with myself better because I have not used meds since childhood I could learn coping skills. I have known people and kids who have been on meds and they have a really hard time dealing with themselves off meds because they never got a chance to create coping skills for their behaviors.....
With that said I believe its a personal choice if you want to try meds for ADHD.
@Shae Mclean Yep! There a tool absolutely needed. Both go hand in hand
Done all this and doesn’t cut it. I’m trying meds and hope they help, as much as I dont want to for health reasons.
While meds don't work for me for some reason, I sure wish they did. I'm working on building my skills but the fact remains that life is just twice as much work for us folks who already are more easily tired with cognitive tasks. I saw an ADDitude article recently that suggested we look at the side effects of NOT taking medication, and I thought that was an interesting reframe.
Just discovering I'm ADHD at 39. Devastating...not because I am but because I've gone all these years not knowing and realizing life shouldn't have been such a struggle and feeling dumb lazy and alone. Attempted entrepreneurship and not giving up but it's in the crapper right now.
i feel you 100% im only 22 but i have an assessment in a month so shoud finally get diagnosed, it is very frustrating but all we can do now is try to turn it around & use it to our advantage, hyperfocus on things we enjoy. can take comfort in knowing that it wasnt your fault, its a learning disability
Same I’m 24 and just realizing that this is why I’ve struggled all my life 😞
Diagnosed at 38 and the same exact feelings. It's been 6 years and I'm still working to undo all of the negative self-talk and beating myself up that I (and others) have done all these years. It takes time, but you can do it. It's getting better. The hardest part is not looking back and ruminating on what could have been or what should have been had I known myself better. Working through the guilt of how, not knowing, affected my life and those closest to me. It's definitely a process. And it's helpful to know you're not alone. Be gentle with yourself. The biggest helpful change I made was to learn to accept who I am, and identify and explain that to others moving forward. For example I now explain to people that my brain works a little differently so I need them to repeat, slow down or give me time to write down what's being said, etc. Slow and steady and shiny(:
diagnosed last year at 55.
i have decades of catching up to do. still, am very grateful to lnow, and for medication. as well as supplements etc.
I’m in the same boat diagnosed this year at 40

I have the same instinctual habit. I always have about 30tabs opened. (My browser is great
I just could never stick to a routine. I struggle everyday.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm on my trial & errors with them. Still not a pleasant experience because of the side effects.
They are fake pills please everybody don't buy them. The DEA regulates the drug companies for the number of amphetamine salts that they can have, so it doesn't make sense an online store has them.
Same its a waste of time to me though
Try Routinery. It's a paid app but worked for me. it allows you to create routines by stacking habits together. For instance morning and evening routine. You just press play and countdown of habit #1 is starting, then you press ''ok'' to go to next habit etc. It has visuals too btw. Try it
Me tooo😞
I am a self taught programmer with ADHD - and spent my life frustrated with how my mind was always racing. I was constantly being sent to the office in school because of acting out due to being bored, and in many cases I would be ostracized to a desk all by myself just so that I could focus on my test/class work. I am now a software engineer for the US government without a college degree, and all of my peers have a master's degree or higher. Worst of all... I am getting bored and am obsessing over entrepreneurial thoughts day in and out. Point being, I learned how to harness my ADHD for solving profitable problems for others, now I am striving to aim my ADHD towards problems I want to solve. Out of everything he said, I think the most important is diet. I removed sugar (and went vegan) and my focus went way up... like waaay over 9000... ;) . Thanks for making such a fantastic video and channel.
Food is medicine.
Simple.
Powerful.
So many people miss that.

@@danmartell Polyphasic has also greatly helped my ADHD. The "morning focus" can be tapped into via strategically timed naps. The other one you didn't mention, and for clear professional reasons, is nofap. Dropping addiction to sexual objectification and regaining the throne to my mind and train of thought greatly increased productivity.
Hi, I am also vegan. :) I became vegan before I realised I was ADD. I hope you´re doing great. Catherine
I'm currently teaching myself programming. It seems like a good fit for me. I have a BA in something totally unrelated and am reluctant to mention it to anyway(especially on a resume).
For years I’ve tried to deny my adhd and I’ve struggled silently. Now that I’m accepting it, I’ve been looking for ways to manage it without medications and I found this video. Thank you. Now I don’t feel so hopeless.
In my case, I simply didn’t even know that adhd exists. I thought I’m just a lazy-ass and I don’t deserve to be successful, because I can’t force myself to do something useful or to be productive

Everyone is different! I'm glad you're doing what's best for you.
@@iamakhilesh When on meds you tend to dare more things than before and tolerate more etc, the thing is that with some things it goes off in exaggerating amounts. Thus you change your natural self according to third person, but you do notice it yourself as well.
It's not too bad but it's up to yourself as an individual if these changes are worth it and true to heart.
Exactly brother, people calling it a disability are just some depressed pussies. It is definitely a fuckin superpower and we are the updated versions of the normal. Those people are just so lazy, they can't compete with us.

About the reading and getting sleepy: A good trick of the mind if you want to read a book and *not* get sleepy and even get energized by it is to use your finger to guide your eyes through the lines. Something about the action of pointing and having something moving with your eyes turns it into a kinesthetic action and also helps people who “learn by doing.”(:(:(:

I absolutely appreciated this video, so many entrepreneurs talk like they only see people's struggles as excuses, but it really feels like you get that everyone is on a different path! For me sleep is something I cannot manage, I have sleep apnea from a broken nose when I was younger, which is something I'm getting fixed, but once that's done my impulse control and my attention will significantly improve, and it's videos like this which encourage and inspire!
Hello Dan, I work as a psychotherapist and do non-traditional psychotherapy with people who have addiction issues. I can not tell you how helpful this video has been for myself and some of my clients who have attention deficit superpowers! As you probably know, there is a very high incidence of ADHD in this population. Your suggestions have given hope to my patients which is a powerful substance for those in recovery. Many thanks for the work you do. Spero Alexio.
I want a routine and rituals but every system I try I fail at :( I just can’t seem to get organized in any way with my life….I’m going to adopt this little by little!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Emma--I used to leave stuff everywhere (thank God most people are honest!) Then I realized I cant go anywhere without my car keys so I would put them with whatever I needed to take with me--it worked! Leaving stuff by my exit door also helps a lot
Maybe don’t do a system, do a customized one that works for you start with one thing you absolutely love and brings joy to you and then build on it, small blocks. Maybe meditation In bed before you even get out of bed, then water and breakfast that alone is a great start, even the meditation and water 🤍 but I know what you mean it can be challenging finding what works for you. Everyone makes it looks so nice and fluffy and easy but truly it’s what works for you. I like to sit in the back yard and just soak in the sun in the mornings with a green tea after I meditate it definitely grounds me
Me too😢
Hey Bro, I say this with love, I would suggest changing the title to something like: 'How I improve by ADHD using these tips'
There is two camps, people that are set on medication and those how don't like the idea of medication.
This video can help both groups and there is no reason to create a division, with or without medication, these tips will help!
The title is how I manage my ADHD without medication. Just saying. He isn't excluding anybody. I'm watching this because i want to try to manage without medication, but I may go on it later if things don't get better.
Great now I have to rewatch the video.....haha.
Absolutely well said Mikael.. from your talk you said you stopped taking medication only 8 years ago which means medication played an important part. And that is the role of meds. To help you improve to the point where you create a strong foundation and then one day you may not require it.. maybe.
thanks Mikael for your sober reflection. "this video can help both groups and there is no reason to create a division"...
Yup. What Mikael Hanson said 👏🏾
Finally someone's mind that moves at my pace... I normally have to speed up playback on videos but not this one. Dead on and captivating!
This made me cry as my daughter is 23 with type one diabetes and is convinced she deals with this too. I'm going to pass this vid to her right now, thank you so much..she wants to get better without meds as well..God bless you!!
I'm really glad you found this video helpful 🙏
This is amazing! Can’t take medication while pregnant and work has been a struggle and causing horrible anxiety! I’m going to run with these tips!
This was so helpful. Just found out I have adult ADHD I was freaking out because I don't want to take drugs for the rest of my life. And I have so much I would like to do.
@Shae Mclean she said she dont want drugs
bro i think you got the wrong idea of what ADHD meds do 💀
You sound like a replica of what I’ve been doing for years. I thought I was just not very smart. Never knew I had adhd. I just worked 4x as much and did all of these things as I discovered them to work. Meditation and exercise and brain exercises to focus and then I can go on my day to be able to keep my creativity and stay on task. I’m learning so much from watching this multiple times to start working on my focus. I do not want meds. You’re really an inspiration
I've been managing my adhd for 44 years. I agree on all of this. I do not like medication it makes me a zombie. Meditation helps so so much.
I never liked the normal meditations, I tried them many times, always hated it. But I love to stare at nature and listen to lounge music. It brings me down and gives me such inner peace and happiness. Especially if I can look at trees in the golden hour agianst a blue sky. Its really easy to not think about anything while looking at trees. This is my personal meditation. Maybe it helps someone.
I have Adhd and undersand that many people want to be normal like anyway else but if your brain is different from rest. It is like push fish to walk. You are special and you are not boring person for sure. It is me writing cause i couldn't sleep because my mind is racing
I have ADHD and yes I did come to the comment section during your video, HOWEVER, I paused the video and wanted to thank you for such an awesome video. So much of this clicked with me. I’m 40 and found out I had ADHD at 39. It’s starting to change my life now I know my brain is wired differently, not just ‘broken’. Some excellent tips here, some I already use but others I’m going to try. And I am 100% with you on exercise _every _single _day, it makes a massive difference. Back to your video now :)
Diagnosed yesterday at age of 35 and now I have answers to all the question i had for years, i have been switching jobs , some worked because the job and people around me helped me structure, some went really bad a complete failure , but now i can look internally and train my self for the gift of ADHD
Never been officially diagnosed with ADHD cuz my parents think it’s just a “hereditary trait” of the family, and school teachers thought I was being annoying on purpose.
School teachers are ruining my life
ADHD does have a hereditary component to it. In 60 to 70% of the cases of ADHD, there is a closely-related member in the family with ADHD traits too. Read this in a peer-reviewed paper earlier, can't find the link anymore sadly. So there is a high chance one of your parents or people in your family also have ADHD.
ADHD Has really killed me I've been suffering with it for years thank God I saw this video it has really helped me
I had adhd in high school and it took me a year to get into the military , finally got in and kicking ass ... I can’t stress how important it is to workout every day , drink black coffee and stick to a damn routine . Sounds silly to most people .
That is awesome to hear 👊
yes but you dont need the coffee at all
I’m just going to say this, I am ready for a change so bad. I found out I have adhd just a few months ago and it has opened up my eyes so much to why I have been so messed up and different all my life..It’s so good to see videos like this making me feel hope for myself that I can absolutely use this as a super power! I’m taking any advice I can right now I’m ready to change my life around and start living my best life it’s been too long
I did most of these for years and was doing great! Then the food changed, then workout went, then the morning ritual.... I was considering going on meds after forgetting an important appointment when I came across your video. Thanks for reminding me what worked for me!
I am here because i failed the bar exam. I have done the 9 things he suggested without any advice or even before i watched this video. However, it was already too late since only did those for 2-3 months before the bar exams. I felt hope after I watched this video, it made me feel that I am not alone, and that i am on the right track. Now, for the next couple of months I will do it again and I hope that I will make it this time. Thank you Sir Dan Martell.

I have delt with severe ADHD paralysis for my entire life. My parents spend thousands of $ sensing me to sooo many different tharapists and none of it worked. I am now 32 years of age and have become absolutely fed up with it. I refuse to continue to feel sorry for myself and take control of my life! Now for the past 3 weeks I have really been starting to fight it. Taking back control of my life by writing things down, working out, running at the park and watching videos to try and figure out other ways to help myself from other people who have dealt with the same. That being said I can ONLY imagine how helpful a "support group" would be and if anyone can help me with that, I would be GREATLY appreciative!
Thank you so much for explaining this so well, age 33 diagnosed and trying to learn everything now. Better late than never. 🖤
Glad this was helpful :)
i have ADHD when i found out i was shocked im only 13 and this video has made a big impact on my life thank you so much dan for helping me with tm adhd
Man, my adhd makes me hate studying coding/programming but im loving the practical part of it as it makes me feel imaginative and creative.
That is awesome! 👊
This video resonates with me a lot. I'm turning a lot of me into a strength and not a deficit. I accepted who I am . I like the way you phrased things. This is the only video I've watched of you, I'll be watching more. You won a subscriber.
Also, guys.
ADHD is tricky, but it's a gift.
Just want to say man this video has saved my life. I've been working from home during the lockdown. I have come to suspect I have adhd and the 15 minute thing has really pulled me out of a freeze I started into with work I was losing sleep over.
Amazing to hear! I'm so glad this was helpful for you 👊
I wish I had seen this sooner. I was diagnosed with Aspergers at 9 years old. When I found programming, it just made sense. The problem is.... I'm always tired, and when I am not tired, my mind is all over the place. I think writing this message and watching this whole video was an accomplishment of itself. I am about to graduate college with a computer science degree (man has it been so difficult, I can hardly focus on school). If anyone has a strategry for how to leverage their programming ability into a scalable entrepreneurial model, I would greatly appreciate those ideas. I don't care what I have or whatever, I have never medicated, but I am ready to live up to my full potential.
I was diagnosed as ADHD, at the same age as you. I'm also sure that I'm an aspie too. At every school I attended, they sent me to an educational psychologist, because they thought there was something wrong with me. I was different. Watching your video, has really helped me, to figure out how to get the best me, out of my ADHD. I've also been on the Feingold Diet, since my diagnosis. It really helps. Seeing my ADHD as a super power, is helping me to get out of my own way, and have some fun with this! Thanks!😉👍
It helped me while watching this to not look at the screen and treat it like a podcast, not sure why that made a huge difference but it did!
Thanks for the info Dan!
This is by far the best opinion of ADHD that I have come across. I will share with my daughter!
I've struggled with ADD my whole life, started in 2nd grade and never went away. Appreciate the advice and pointers.
I feel like I have ADD but wasn't formally diagnosed. I always struggled on focusing on assignments and projects as well as studying for tests. I also have problems with procrastination my whole life since I have trouble getting started on boring monotonous tasks that require intense focus.
Thank you for this exactly what I needed to hear, diagnosed at 47 and gave up drugs a year ago.... let's do this
Thank you for this - my biggest challenge is getting started again after a slump - each time i try to make a new step in the right direction things seem to end up worse - i tried to quit nicotine ended smoking cannabis (manged to stop that butt took ages). i went from cycling sportives to doing a triathlon, now i find it hard to go for walk. i was managing to work eefficiently throughout day to now taking daytime naps. the harder i try the worse i end up. Getting confused so hoping that sharing my experiences publicly might get me going again the right direction. i know the benefits of exercise - its done amazing things for me - but getting out of bed at the moment seems to be a struggle. i think it may be isolation that's destroying me but the closer i get to people the more i seem to alienate them and i have no interest in being a needy person.

Thanks Dan. Although I’ve always known something was “wrong”, I just got diagnosed with ADHD at 45. However, happy to know what Ive already implemented throughout the years at least 6 of these tips before seeing this. So at least I know I’m on the right track and feel a little more at ease knowing I’m not the only one and can make my business a success, despite. Thanks again!
These are all great suggestions. I’m undiagnosed, but have a son with ADHD. I greatly relate to the struggles, symptoms, and feelings. I lost my Mom late last year, and gave myself “permission” to let some of good habits go…exercise, diet, meditation.
My symptoms are front and center again. I’m going to get a diagnosis. One of the stumbling blocks is the idea of taking medication.
This post was helpful. Good to know there are other ways to deal with ADHD.
ADHD means I can’t watch this long as ramble. I’m sure the information you gave was great though
Gotta make some effort. Can't give up already on watching a video.
Listening to white noise at night is the best thing I have ever discovered. My mind would go over and still be composing whatever music id been working on in the day and it would go round and round my head all night, even appearing in my dreams and would be the first thing id hear when I woke up. Listening to rain sounds at night got rid of it completely!
I've been in and out of jail most of my life because of it and having a shitty past. No family support...I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Jay, yeah, you and an unreasonably high proportion of prisoners... that's right, ADHD is seemingly an imprisonable 'offence'.
Perhaps societies are just punishing difference. No change there then.
I'm sorry to hear it man; it's far to frequently a common story. Impulsiveness meets thwarted efforts and diminished outcomes with social rejection.
I wish you well, especially if you live in the US of Incarceration.
This is the best ever content I have watched on ADHD….a capsule of super nutrients to successfully manage ADHD, what this video really is….
Thanks so so much for immensely helping the community…
🙏🏻❤️
I had diagnosed ADHD at the age of 4, this is really helpful, I've taken Adderall,Strattera, and methylphenidate[Concerta]. I've recently stopped taking medication, this really helps
Thanks, I am glad you liked it 👊
Was on reddit and listened to this video at least 3-4 times. Now I’m going to pay full attention and write everything down and totally not get distracted
I cant stick to a routine 😩😩
Inconsistency
@@MOF43 I have ADHD and I know that I can do it without the meds. You just have to build a rock solid discipline . If you can do it with such complications the world is yours to tackle therefore agree sir
@@BigBoyWillGoGlobal boxing helped me
Thank you for such an enlightening video. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at 5, later I realised I also have it n recently realised my father n sister too have it. I am 38 and struggled for almost 32 years with it, somehow got through college as a good student but failed in career. I was suspicious of medication n your video so much helped me tonight. You are truly n angel of God. Hopefully I will recover n would help my son to excel in life
Hi Sir! I'm from the Philippines and I'm suffering From ADHD and it really affect me a lot. It was really affect my academic performance cause I get easily forget anything. I didn't finish my job well-done and my brain keeps running out in different direction, I can't focused even in my writing and many more. That's why I decided to watch this video and try to apply for my self. Thank you very much for this video. 👍👏🙂
This video is so on point! I got diagnosed at 26 and getting it was a huge relief. It just connected so many dots that allowed me to be more compassionate towards myself and others. I got #s 1-4 in my life already and I hope to shape #s 5-9 in my life too! Thanks for this encouraging video!
I watched this video yesterday
You said something at the end of this video.
You said I would rather show up as me , Not as someone else from the ADHD meds.
This sentence is in my head for the past 24 hours.
Do never underestimate the positive effects from this video
As an ADHD person since I was a child, this video made me re think about the whole new structure of my life.
I love you from the other side of the world as my older brother. ♥
Please keep up the great videos don't stop
One day when I'm successful I will say your name with full honour that your the reason for my success 🙏💕🙏
This is amazing, I am so glad that you found this useful!! 🙏👊

Thanks a lot for this Dan, I recently got diagnosed with ADD after dropping out of school varsity twice. I felt like such a failure and the worst thing is that I knew I am reasonably smart. This I've trying this out for three months and I feel like I a different person, I feel so much more in control.
My problem with adhd isnt focus its that my mind moves fast so i constantly read fast or talk too fast i try meditation it helps a little
Very late to the party, but thanks for the video, and thanks everyone for the comments. Some of them are very sad - I hope those of you that were struggling are doing better, now.
I don't have ADHD - and DID make it to the end of the video on normal speed. I was watching for my daughter (13) who was diagnosed this year - but is determined not to take meds. Will definitely get her to watch this.
Some of the comments are brilliant - I was literally crying with laughter when everyone was saying they couldn't watch a TH-cam video without scrolling to the comments during it, or got distracted in other ways and had to keep coming back to it. I think I like the ADHD community - you guys certainly have a great sense of humour !
Thank you for trying to understand your daughter. I’ve 2x speed to get here. 5:19
And clearly I’m scrolling the comments while watching 😂 5:49
Adhd is nothing more than an idealistic beautiful day planned out(in your head too “busy” to write it down) to only then wake up and realize you have something more fun to do
Leaving comment to meet people. I’m a general contractor and musician in Seattle. Love to meet more people who are similar.Great video thank you. I’m on the right path.
I've already done all of these and can agree they work with a lot of effort and discipline but if you've hit rock bottom like i have and are trying to get back on your feet aswell as cut out negative external influences from your life like alcohol, weed or whatever substance of choice you impulsively abuse then i think proper treatment would be the way to go aswell as using the tips mentioned in the video. I've been undiagnosed all my life until just recently and didn't realize how much trouble this condition can cause in different areas of your life.
Man, I'm only a minute in and your ability to "enter the conversation in the prospect's mind" is spot on, very impressive
This been more helpful than the reviews I have with my adhd consultant each month. Thank you!!
👊
Thank you very much for making this video! i'm 30 years old, from Argentina and just a few days ago i heard a voice in my head telling me to search hiperactivity related to adults on google, i did and that's when i found i have adhd cause evry single thing applies to me and my life (before i had been diagnosed with bipolarity and i dont understand why the psychatrist didn't realize that i could have adhd). From that on it's been a hurricane of thoughts and emotions in my head and i really want to overcome this without medication, without stop being myself but improving my self because i've always felt this was my super power even though i wasn't completely conscious of my condition. i apprecciate so much that you took your time to make this video to inspire us and help us organize and boost the best of each of us
My family and doctor would always say I have adhd I knew this ever since I was 8 years old but I was always in denial about it and brushed it off. I always knew I had trouble focusing but I just said to myself “it’s because I’m not interested” but after everything else I heard I excepted that I really do have adhd because my everyday life can strongly relate to this video
Thank you for this. At the age of 50, I have not been diagnosed as yet but whenever I watch videos about people living with ADHD, I certainly feel it explains how I have always felt that my mind (and the way that I learn ) is somehow different from the average. If I am indeed diagnosed I want to be able to work with it without resorting to medication, if possible. BTW, whilst watching/listening to this video and taking notes, I inadvertently found myself quickly checking out my Twitter account, oops ! lol ! :)
You know you have ADHD when you've gotten distracted and paused like, 3 times before the 10 minute mark lol
This one
Thank you for being so open with your ADHD and the things that helped you. I have a 14 year old grandson who has ADHD, and whose dad also had it and suffered a lot because of it. I hope we can help Sam walk through his teens to become the best Sam he can be, with or without meds.
I’ve been medicated since I was 7 years old and for the first time I am on a journey of self discovery with the goal of managing my life and my ADHD without medications. I am so grateful to have found this video and your tips. I have struggled with low self esteem and depression and frustration at myself for just being the way that i am for 20 years now. So to see your adhd success story and to hear u say that it is a super power rather than a defect is everything. Thank you :)
I'm 37 and it's just coming out that I'm ADHD. I've never been able to hold a job and support my family properly. I'm afraid of the meds, so I'm going to try what I learned in this video. Thank you
🙏🏻
OMG! Everything you are suggesting is actually the opposite of what I do! As I’m drinking a 7x6in cup of coffee with 10 large spoons of sugar I’m really trying to figure out how to work with having ADHD. I am on meds and it doesn’t do anything for me. I’ve already stopped and started this video four times and I’m 11 minutes in. I’ve even Started and stopped writing this 3 times. I also have a two and three-year-old that definitely don’t help me with focusing. I seriously have not completed any projects in years and I’m feeling like I’m driving myself crazy.
Try different meds....you have to find the one that works for you and the dose, best wishes
Lucky for you you were diagnosed at 8, for some of us who are 41 and still waiting to be diagnosed we have used up most of the chemicals we did have to make us happy by over drinking or eating or drug taking and now we dont have the capability to be as wonderfully motivated as you. As hard as I try to do everything you advise it lasts 3days and then procrastination kicks in, then the self loathing then the depression and in a week it happens all over again! Life is just harder for some than others. You were blessed at not getting addicted to other things before figuring out you could do it without medication.
Hi Dan, thanks for a nice video with many tips how to manage the ADHD. I am an university student with ADD, 23yo. Since I live alone, it´s very hard for me to manage the household chores and get enought time for the studying at the same time. I´ve never taken any medication for ADD/ADHD. I am just trying to be the best version of myself. I know I can improve my skill more. Thank you for the inspiration
:)
Catherine, glad I could help... I'm not saying medication isn't a good thing, I just feel it changes me and I'd rather find ways to harness my super powers and let my innner me shine brighter!

i didnt know i had adhd until i went to see a therapist for my anxiety. my life is a complete wreck. i cant do anything without my phone in front of me. i watched this whole video while on my phone but was still able to focus on what you were saying. every adhd drug i have tried has made my health anxiety so much worse. im going to implement some of these ideas and see how it goes. thank you
I’m surprised I made it this far. I’d almost given up and just labeled myself lazy and unfocused. But then I realized that I have the big picture in my head, and I’m usually good at mapping out how to get there sometimes but I just couldn’t sit still long enough to do the work. It’s been very frustrating 🤦🏿♀️

@@DavidGonzalez-gg6xb They are fake pills please everybody don't buy them. The DEA regulates the drug companies for the number of amphetamine salts that they can have, so it doesn't make sense an online store has them.
This is so relatable for me. I was on Instagram and I came across a video on Child adhd. Then it occurred to me I have adhd...I have been experiencing brain fog low motivation and depression. I feel like I am in a hole trapped in my body. This video takes me back to a counseling session I did in university that was life changing for me. He said eat lunch the same time everyday, have more vegetables with lunch, go to the gym everyday, have friends. It changed my life temporarily. Then I got off track, got married, had 4 kids and now I feel lost. I have watched myself going off a little more everyday bit I was always too busy to do anything about it.
Thanks for the video.
Just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 42. Im struggling in getting my head in gear still. These steps are probably useful, I just need to get that surge and get help with harnessing this thing first and hopefully i can use some of these!
I’m happy for you. I will be honest just listening to the speed and one point after another coming fast and full was overwhelming let alone doing all those things.
I can’t imagine how someone who is feeling overwhelmed with everything in life could possibly do all those things, without feeling overwhelmed.
best video on the internet for me , thank you for making it.
I've not been diagnosed but I've felt for a while that I was being idiotic and lazy but it is ADHD. This video helps me put things in perspective and take action on the points you've made. Thank you Dan!
I strongly believe I have suffered it worse, given the fact that I am a Sierra Leonean...we don’t regard or even recognize mental issues...🤦🏿...thx for this❤️
Im glad I can help you. This video might also be helpful for you:

Your ADHD can become your super power 👊
many people dont take their meds because they become a different person. But I hate myself so much that I would actually like it
