Frustration tolerance is one's ability to sustain attention, endurance and emotional composure during frustrating tasks.

While we all get frustrated from time to time, having a low frustration tolerance can have a serious impact on our work, school and personal lives.

In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I dive deep into frustration tolerance, its connection to ADHD, and how to improve your own frustration tolerance level so you can achieve your goals with less drama.

What You Learn:

  • What frustration tolerance is and why it matters a ton
  • The connection between frustration tolerance and ADHD (we get a little science-y here)
  • The roles that emotional regulation, past experiences and personal narrative play in our ability to handle hard tasks
  • How to make tasks less frustrating in the first place (so you don't hit your max capacity so soon)
  • What to do when you do hit your maximum frustration tolerance and you still have work to do
  • The ultimate mega strategy for improving your frustration tolerance so you can learn and work more peacefully and with way less drama
