How to Focus Attention even with Adult ADD
Focus is a very interesting thing. It’s kind of confusing for a lot of people. Sometimes people have focus when they don’t know that they’re focused. Some people just can’t seem to focus. Some people find that they’re focusing on the wrong things, and not the things they want to focus on. It’s difficult to measure.
Focus is a concept. It’s very difficult to say, “I’m focused” right? Versus, “I’m not focused,” because it’s very, very subjective. Where’s the focus scale? How much does it weigh if you’re very focused? The concept is very personal. One person’s focus is another person’s distraction, and you really need to take these ideas into consideration when you’re talking about putting these principles and techniques into practice.
It’s good to develop a skill to turn focus on and off on demand, but you really want to be developing your natural areas that you’re able to focus in on like crazy. I’m talking about hyper-focus, when you really get into that zone where you literally can work on a project, be thinking about something, be reading a book, be watching a TV show, or be engrossed in a conversation about a topic, where you’ll forget to eat or where you’ll completely miss an appointment because you’re so focused on what you were into or working on.
When you’re working with this principle, technique, or concept, you have to remember that it’s a conscious choice in the beginning.
Let’s talk about doing dishes. I hate doing dishes and just can’t focus on the task. I have hated doing dishes from the time I was a very small child. My parents will tell you plenty of stories about me getting distracted away from doing dishes. To this day, I still don’t enjoy doing dishes, and I do my absolute best to outsource it to whoever is eating dinner with me at the time. But sometimes you just have to do the dishes. So, how do you get the dishes done?
I’m going to give you some tricks, and please remember, what we’re talking about here isn’t dishes specifically. It’s focus. What we’re talking about is your own dirty dishes. Whatever it is that’s like dirty dishes for you-maybe it’s your homework, if you’re in school; paying the bills is a very common one; getting your taxes organized in advance. There are some basic things that you can do to focus, that you can modify and plug in to whatever it is that you have to do on a regular basis, that you just don’t want to do.
Before I do the dishes, I make myself a nice pot of coffee. The second thing I do when I want to get a household chore done at high speed (because I’m a distance runner and love running), I actually get into my running clothes, shoes, shorts, and shirt, and do the dishes at high speed while dressed up like a runner. It’s kind of a funny sight, but it works. It works really well. Or, whatever religion you are, you can somehow incorporate that into what you’re doing. There are lots of very powerful ways to simply connect things that interest you, and include them in what you’re doing to focus and make what you hate to do less like work.
It’s very interesting the way this works. If you’re diagnosed or not diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, it doesn’t matter. We’re talking about your mental habits. If you need more help focusing, put some of these practices and concepts into action. A linear person focuses on one thing. Their emotions get balanced. They’re able to think ahead, plan ahead, and do things in sequence. That’s pretty good for focusing on one task at a time, such as doing the dishes. It’s a very monotonous, step-by-step kind of thing.
The ADD-type person focuses on one thing, and generally what happens, unless you’re able to hyper-focus, as we discussed earlier, your brain literally shuts down. The part of your brain that is in control of doing things in sequence, planning ahead, and doing things in order literally shuts down. The activity in your brain just goes “plop,” and what happens is your brain starts looking for other things to stimulate it so it can stay active, except it’s going on randomizer now, meaning it will just soak up whatever’s coming into your senses.
The point here is if you feed your senses with things that are related to what you’re trying to accomplish, you’ll stay focused on accomplishing that thing.
There are all sorts of different ways that you can play with this in your life.

is my ex boyfriend bipolar, what is going through his head, please someone answer if you know the disorders!?
so were both 19 @ different colleges, but we’ve been together for 4 ish years.. he has ocd adhd and depression, & his doc. put him on depression meds about a year ago.. after that he literally changed so much, was constantly bouncing off the walls, broke up w/ me and just seriously went insanely hyperactive..so idk i think he may be bipolar but that’s a whole nother story in itself..anyways we did not talk for 10 months until before we both went 2 school (4 months ago) & i didnt want to get back w/ him but it sort of just happened and b4 i knew it we were a couple again..2 weeks ago he just avoided me & stopped talking to me and then 5 days ago he ended it..he told me he loves me, and then texted me yesterday 7 hours after i txted him saying hi, telling me that ” i miss you haha” idk how thats funny but w/e & that “he’s fine but everything reminds him of me”..but then he’ll just stop talking to me..whats going on w/ him, i dont think hes on his meds, but like does he regret ending it?
Maybe he’s a guy who can’t decide if he is in love or not. that’s a pretty hard thing for us guys to figure out.
Bipolar suffers are often always defined by the illness. try to look at the behavior through a different lens. He could be doing the same thing he would do if he didn’t happen to have Bipolar.
