I relate so much to forgetting about a goal 😢. Habit trackers don't work for me, cause I forget they exist every time. I turned on the notifications but I automatically swipe them away and never remember about them again

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which interferes with functioning or development. ADHD symptoms can be observed in multiple settings, such as at school, work, and home, and they can cause significant difficulties in various areas of life, including academic achievement, occupational functioning, and interpersonal relationships. ADHD is typically diagnosed in childhood, but its symptoms can continue into adolescence and adulthood. The disorder is divided into three types based on the predominant symptoms: 1. **ADHD, Inattentive Type**: - Individuals mainly exhibit symptoms of inattention, such as difficulty sustaining attention in tasks, often making careless mistakes in work, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, and often forgetting daily activities. 2. **ADHD, Hyperactive-Impulsive Type**: - Individuals mainly exhibit symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, such as fidgeting, difficulty remaining seated, running or climbing excessively, difficulty waiting or taking turns, and often interrupting or intruding on others. 3. **ADHD, Combined Type**: - Individuals exhibit both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. Management of ADHD may include a combination of behavioral therapy, medication, educational support, and other interventions tailored to the individual's needs and symptoms.
I find that the "eat the frog" approach works for tasks that I have a lot of aversion to but don't actually take any time (paying a bill or sending a text message), and building momentum works for tasks that are more complex or inherently take more time. But the key to eating the frog is to really do it almost immediately when you wake up so that you sort of get ahead of the thoughts and emotions that come up around that task.
This makes a lot of sense! I think with those micro tasks I tend to procrastinate more if I give myself time to overthink them, so “eating the frog” in that case would probably be a better idea
mind. blown... when you were describing some of these qualities i felt SO SEEN. no idea if i have any adhd or not, but I relate to so many people who do, and so many qualities of people who do. I took notes during this video and bought the book immediately lol
Also, for your screenshot folder: I rarely open youtube, but at least twice a week I will open TH-cam just to see if you posted a new video and I missed it, so I'd say you're my favorite youtuber and you *do* know what you are doing (I mean, look at your following count, that doesn't just happen ahah)
I must say that I love your channel. I’ve found it this week and I’m basically binge watching everything. And as an adult recently diagnosed with ADHD (although somehow I’ve known I had it since I was young), I can relate to many things you explained on this video. The book picked my interest and now I really want to read it, so thank you for that! ❤
There's people who are super disciplined and so logical. They make a plan to do something and they just do it because that's the logical thing to do. My dad is like that. TH-camr Livakivi seems to be like that too (he has great videos documenting his journey learning Japanese through immersion only and no output) I am not these people lol. Don't be afraid to change a new system even if it worked in the past. I think that makes sense.
I would love to hear more about your experience with having an accountability/study buddy! (How you do it, any tips for finding one and maintaining it, etc. Maybe in a future video...?) I’ve tried it a few times in the past, and while they were very nice people, none of them panned out. Also, I’m curious about that spreadsheet you use with your buddy!
I loved the video, it's so nice to find a channel with the same vibe, I still want to get to that level of study.🥰 I would like to know if you take one language a day or a week to study? How do you manage so many languages? 💖💌👩💻
I personally prefer to go through "phases" where I'm intensively trying to learn one main language (by using textbooks, apps, media, etc.) and maintain one language (mostly by consuming content in it). This means I usually have one main language to focus on for 3-12 months and then I move on to another (could be a new one, could be one of my "old" languages). So I basically never do things for all 6 of my languages on the same week - if anything, some of my languages go untouched for months until I decide to focus on them again. Hope this helps!
I was watching your channel with my BF and he said “this girl is exactly like you, She’s your twin.” And I am diagnosed with adhd inattentive type, but I think it could be wrong and I actually have ASD1 aka the condition formerly known as Asperger’s.
Thank you for the video! Was wondering how you made the Google sheet to track your language process? Would love to make it myself or have a copy of yours if possible!
Funny, I had never heard of Irene Vallejo, but now seeing her name here rang a bell, turns out I got her "Manifiesto por la lectura" (I read a Portuguese translation), but never tried reading other stuff from her. Maybe I should *someday*
Hmm, I hadn't even heard about that one before, but I'll be adding it to my list because I finally started El infinito en un junco a couple of days ago and I already love it so much!
@@tbenavente that manifest was offered in a book fair here, like a tiny little book? So maybe it's available online in Spanish or English, not sure. I remember thinking some parts were interesting, although I don't remember that much tbh
by the way, what is that pomodoro timer app you use? the background is adorable and i feel like seeing something cute like that would motivate me to want to use it hehe
It's called TickTick and it basically combines a task manager/Pomodoro timer/calendar and a habit tracker, all in one app. One of the best productivity apps I've used!
I discovered that I have an ADHD in an adult age, so for mow I am learning more about this topic. Thank you for sharing.

Okay, yeah, this is definitely going to my screenshot folder 💜😅

I started reading the extra focus book last week!
How do you find it so far?
You are such an inspiration to me, thank you for your vids and your talent 💕🇬🇷
Thank you so much 💜
I love this video so much! You inspire me a lot, thanks ❤
Thank you so much for the wonderful and helpful video !
I loved the video, it's so nice to find a channel with the same vibe, I still want to get to that level of study.🥰
I would like to know if you take one language a day or a week to study? How do you manage so many languages? 💖💌👩💻
There are videos she made about the topic.. how she manages all the different languages ...
I personally prefer to go through "phases" where I'm intensively trying to learn one main language (by using textbooks, apps, media, etc.) and maintain one language (mostly by consuming content in it). This means I usually have one main language to focus on for 3-12 months and then I move on to another (could be a new one, could be one of my "old" languages).

tanya so cute
How did you find your Accountability buddy?
On Twitter! If you look up the hashtag #langtwt there, you'll be able to find a lot of people who tweet about languages and language learning
