Focus
THE productivity guide for ADHDers, packed with life-changing tips and tricks for harnessing focus, managing stress and turbo-charging productivity.
If you've ever stared at a to-do list, waiting for divine inspiration to strike, and then randomly found yourself cleaning the fridge instead, welcome. You're in the right place.
ADHD experts and co-hosts of the popular ADHD Adults podcast, Professor James Brown and Sam Brown will show you how to disarm procrastination and overcome decision paralysis by using your ADHD brain to your advantage: harnessing hyperfocus, activating your reward system and turbo-charging productivity.
Sam and James were both diagnosed with ADHD as adults and have experienced first-hand the disappointment and sense of failure when neurotypical solutions to ADHD challenges inevitably fail. This is a productivity book with a difference, tailored to your ADHD brain. With the right tools and a framework that plays to your strengths, you can achieve anything.
This book will show you how to identify underlying motivations, redirect your dopamine-hungry reward system, and break through the roadblocks; allowing you to tackle your to-dos head on, progress towards your longer-term goals and ultimately achieve your full potential.
With an easy-to-navigate contents list, short chapters, and practical solutions that work with your ADHD brain, not against it, this book will give you strategies that might just change your life...

- Internal motivation vs external demands
- Working memory hacks
- Effective reward systems
- Dealing with overwhelm
