It took me nearly half a lifetime to learn that the story around ADHD is false. We have been conditioned to see it as a disorder. A dysfunction. A broken brain. But we were simply never taught how to optimize our high-precision ADHD equipment. It's like learning how to spell, drive a car, play tennis, or master arithmetic. We were never taught how to harness the supercomputer called ADHD so it works for us and not against us.

Exhaustion from overthinking our thinking is a common feature of a high speed, albeit brilliant ADHD mind. There are ways of looking at exhaustion from a different perspective.

That's why it's important to ignore the stories mind is creating about feeling exhausted. Simpl...

It's in that space that we truly see that we are in charge of our "cognitive pallette." It's the moment when we see w...
