Paul talks with Aron Croft of ‘Hidden ADHD’ about how ADHD affects motivation, focus and productivity
Aron shares his own journey and explains how when you abandon the elements of neurotypical productivity and use ‘The 8% Productivity Method’ you can positively change your life
The 8% productivity method builds effective habits and momentum to get around the motivation gaps and by making a small amount of progress every day in a small way you can move forwards in a truly positive way achieving what you want
- The ADHD brain doesn’t translate desire in
It’s a chronic inability to get yourself to do the things you want to do
the same way as the neurotypical brain
The 8% productivity method has four stages and allowed me to change my life
If you have inattentiveness you are not going to be productive for 8 hours a day
Learn to build a habit and complete your key tasks in a 2-hour time frame – 8% of the day
Building a habit overcomes the aspects of willpower and motivation
Being strategic and giving yourself freedom can increase your productivity
The 8% productivity method can change your life and uses momentum to get around the motivation gaps
Get off the rollercoaster by making a small amount of progress every day in a small way
Positive momentum every day can change everything in your life
‘We are so overstimulated, it can be difficult to focus’
‘It ends up with a rollercoaster between damaging your mental health and your physical health’
‘I don’t like working long hours and I hate using willpower and discipline to force myself to do things’
