I would like to give a shout out to @Mik Shridhar Højlund Bøll (who I hope doesnt mind me sharing this) Mik answered a post of mine and sent me the link below. It’s a very interesting watch and explains so much. I had to rewind it a few times but it should be bookmarked by some of us to explain to our friends and families what we cannot express when trying to explain ourselves “I was researching the topic of 'memory issues' and coincidentally saw a video on YouTube. (https://youtu.be/ouZrZa5pLXk?is=na0AIPgCMxEXSHUE) It was a discussion with "Thomas E. Brown, PhD" on the subject of ADD/ADHD. When watching it I felt like it was my life he was describing in his discussion. A very surrealistic experience for me. I then went to my doctor with my suspicion and five months later I was diagnosed ADD by a psychiatrist. April 1. 2022. (No joke, it was the exact date 😅). And that was fast. Today you'll have to wait 2-4 years to get an appointment at a psychiatrist regarding getting assessed and diagnosed. At least in Denmark. Crazy. Thomas E. Brown died at home on August 18, 2025. He was 83. (https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/in-memoriam-thomas-e-brown-phd/ ) And I'm of course especially sad about his departure. Because he gave me this important clue that led me to a new and real understanding of myself and my lifes struggles. A clue that also opened up new possibilities and opportunities for me. 🩵🌱” Thank you so much Mik for showing this to me

As promised, here are a few reads that stayed with me over the years. Not because they were “nice books”. But because each one left a fingerprint on how I think, feel, and move through life. Psycho-Cybernetics (Maxwell Maltz) This one taught me that self image runs everything. If you keep “seeing yourself” as the person who quits, procrastinates, or disappoints, you will keep living that loop. Change the inner picture, and behavior starts to follow. The Untethered Soul (Michael A. Singer) Big reminder: you are not the voice in your head. You are the one who hears it. When I really started practicing that, the mental noise lost a lot of power. The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) I read this while traveling in Thailand and I applied it immediately. It was honestly bizarre how quickly you can feel the difference when you stop living inside “later” or “what if” and return to the present. It was one of the first times I experienced peace as something practical, not philosophical. The Expectation Effect (David Robson) This gave me a grounded, research-backed way to understand something we all feel: what you expect shapes what you experience. He uses practical examples and data around placebo and nocebo effects, where positive expectations can improve outcomes and negative expectations can worsen them. Mastery (Robert Greene) This book helped me connect the dots back to childhood. Greene argues your “Life’s Task” often leaves clues early on, in what you were naturally drawn to before the world told you what was “useful.” What hit me most is how many masters went through a real shift after years of apprenticeship. A phase where they stopped copying and started experimenting, and something more intuitive and original switched on. He uses biographies of people like Darwin and Einstein to show that pattern. Reality Transurfing (Vadim Zeland) This one goes deeper for me than “just think positive.” The idea that stuck is reducing “importance.” The more you overcharge a goal with pressure, identity, or desperation, the more you create inner tension and weird resistance. Another concept is “pendulums,” basically dramas or group energies that try to hook your attention. When you stop feeding them with emotional charge, you get your energy back and you move cleaner.

I'm new here and I believe this is my first post, so I will introduce myself later. (the way I just ran off away from my point 😂) Anyway, I once had a job at a factory where it was so simple. All I had to do was scan a piece of paper, scan a product and then scan another piece of paper to update it. A task that simple really makes me run off into my thoughts and I literally start forgetting that I'm at work and will drift into all kinds of dimensions, lol. If you don't update it, it will cancel out the order and the next crew will catch it and it will have to be sent all the way back to you so you can update it. Now, mind you, this is time sensitive because you are dealing with priority mail. So, after a few times of messing up because of the drifting, I decided to count the dings. Every time you scan, it will ding. So, I made it like a song. (ding, ding, ding) That way, I could make sure even though I may drift, I could hear the dings in the background. And if the song doesn't play right in my head, I would catch it. Again, I am new here and I'm sure there are so many tips and tricks. Can't wait to here yours!

Perfectionism can be a sneaky ADHD mask. And honestly, it has some great qualities — we care, we notice detail, we have high standards and often produce work we’re really proud of. But in a fast-paced software start-up, I’m learning that perfect can be the enemy of done. I’m experimenting with speeding up my output by asking: - What actually needs to be perfect? - What is good enough for now? - Am I improving the outcome, or just tweaking it? - Can I get Version 1 out the door and improve it later? My new target is 80-90% and moving, rather than 100% and stuck. I 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺. I just want to stop it from taking three hours to do something that needed thirty minutes! Maybe managing the perfectionism mask isn't about removing it. Maybe it's learning when to turn the volume down. 𝗦𝗼 𝗜’𝗺 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 — 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂? Has it helped you achieve something, create something you're proud of, spot details others missed, or push through when others might have stopped? And where does it start getting in your way?
