This video almost made me cry in a few points. I am so guilty of punishing myself for being unable to be productive like others. I can relate to this so much, including attempting GTD for a long time (which surprise surprise, didn't work out!).

ADHD Jesse’s channel is a trove of information for understanding more about the ADHD mind works. Another great one is How to ADHD, incidentally her name is Jess. Her videos have gotten some extremely emotional responses from me because she explains things I’ve never known how to and that no psychologist has been able to pinpoint or explain.

To unlock that understanding of yourself and have an explanation for how you think, feel and operate after struggling for so long with it is a powerful emotion

I like Jess but fair warning it can very “YouTube-y” and ham fisted. I like her a lot but it’s good to go into it knowing that. She’s got great content but you will roll your eyes sometimes lol
