You've been told you pivot too fast. This research suggests your timing might be right.
A 2024 Royal Society paper tested how long people stay in a depleting resource before moving to a new one, using a model from ecology called the marginal value theorem. The prediction was that ADHD traits would cause people to leave too soon.
The data found the opposite. ADHD participants left patches closer to the mathematically optimal point and ended up with more total reward. Skye and Robbie break down the bias built into the original prediction and what it means for telling the difference between a smart pivot and flailing.
What We Cover:
If you’re an entrepreneur with ADHD who’s tired of being asked “Why don’t you just hire/make a system/delegate?” We’ve gotchu!
