Got ADHD? Are you constantly trying to find ways to behaviorally comply with your environment? Do you find that easy? Maybe you should focus more on building the right environment. In this video, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (digcoaching.com) talks about the importance of making sure that you build the environment that “gets” your ADHD brain. In a sense, it's a form of treatment. It's a lot easier to change the environment than it is to change your brain. If you need inspiration, watch this video.

Thank you for giving me the language to identify different work/study environments. I would love more of these structured videos applied to as many daily tasks as possible. Loved this!
You are welcome. We love validating peoples experience and helping them language things.
Thanks for watch the channel.
I had no idea you yourself had adhd!, having this kind of knowledge might probably only come from personal experience. This was really helpful. Many failed attempts in forcing my brain to conform to environment, but usually it fails and I get little to no work done, changing work space from time to time reallt does help my productivity
My dyslexia is my bigger challenge... although it has helped me develop a sense of awarness and big picture observation that drives how i see the world and my content
Great video. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! thanks for posting
sir, i think ADHD has some implications or bi-implications to Mnemonic memory.
i have ADHD myself and i find that I also have mnemonic memory.
i find that mnemonic memory plays a significant part of being ADHD.
i need to associate information to something in order to remember it.
when the information is completely unrelated to anything, like names for example, road name, vilage name, people name. they are so hard to associate with something.
my mind then trying to make some extra scenarios just so that information can be attached to my main memory.
this process requires alot of energy, time and memory allocations.
when people introduce me with many names, i turns out having no time to build that association. and my memory collapses.
the problem is, when my main memory collapses, i need to rebuild it. this process requires alot of energy and focus. and i think this is why i got ADHD (at that moment).
i found that mnemonic memory is supposed to be solid. but when it gets pressurized like that (like forcely attach the non associated scenario) it becomes quickly unbalanced. and it collapses.
but when the rebuild process finished, my memory seems to work so fast and efficient.
i think the term "over glorified" is actually that scenario building process.
when something have no clue at all, nor association with anything. we need to build that over glorified scenario to remember the information in order to remember it. though this works, it makes the mnemonic memory unbalanced.
and manymore.. I think mnemonic memory have something todo with ADHD or vice versa
Many with ADHD struggle to retrive knowledge... often they need a que to help them find the knowledge in their head... Thus what you describe makes sense. I'm not sure everyone with ADHD struggles with it to the degree that you do but still what you wrote makes sense to me. The trick is to find accomodations for the impairment. It sounds like you have some awareness around it and are problem solving for it as a work in progrress. Thanks for posting. Hoping others get something out of your comments.
Yes, my memory is very much based on association, including events in time, music, and analogous characteristics. There's no effort in those types of info retrieval, so much so that it doesn't feel like retrieval at all. The info is simply there. Likewise, I too have trouble with recalling spatial/directional/body movement info, plus stress ruins info retrieval.
@@memep5655 If cue's help the trick is to build them into your world intentionally...
Laser printer and lots of folders! When alone, I found little In Ear headphones with white noise helps, and I keep trying to use timers. My new thing (haven’t tried yet) is before starting a small project: to write down the goal, and the intention, then the how, as Jeff once said to me, ambiguity can lead to a sort of paralysis. I would love to get a super x-large dry erase board like they use in war rooms lol, which would cover the wall, but I dont think the wife would go for that. One more thing, anyone know of file folders that dont use plastic things at the top that must go into those pesky slits?
Love your thoughts. Note on the ambiguity thing... often it is more efficient to talk through things you are not clear on with someone else. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes.
