1
Attention regulation is a core issue for those of us with ADHD.
2
We often can't focus for as long as we need to on a task, we don't know how to take effective breaks,
3
and we are bombarded by distractions both from inside of our minds and from the external world.
4
In this video, I'll be sharing tips that I learned
5
when I was in therapy that help with focus and productivity for those of us with ADHD.
6
We'll be breaking down how to work with your actual attention span, how to take effective breaks, and what to do about the pesky distraction thoughts you get when you're trying to work.
7
Welcome back to Skills That Stuck, the five -part series where I break down everything I learned in therapy after I was diagnosed with ADHD.
8
If you're new here, hi I'm Anna, I have a master's degree in neuroscience and cognition, I have been clinically diagnosed with ADHD,
9
and I share science -backed strategies and down -to -earth tips from daily life to help all of us with busy, ambitious brains live better lives.
10
So let's dive in.
11
Just a quick disclaimer, I'm not a licensed therapist and this is not a replacement for your own therapy or professional health.
12
These are just the most valuable lessons that i took from
13
when i was in therapy so please use your discernment take what resonates leave what doesn't
14
and let me know in the comments what you think of
15
these tips first let's cover how to work with your actual
16
attention span most of us have heard of the pomodoro method the study method where you work for 25 minutes
17
and then take a five minute break repeat
18
that a few times before taking a longer break
19
but where did this whole 25 minute thing actually come from
20
and how come it doesn't work for a lot of us
21
with adhd 25 minutes is thought to be long enough for you to make meaningful progress on a task.
22
But in reality, it's really hard for most people to sustain their attention past 15 to 20 minutes.
23
And for those of us with ADHD, it may be closer to 10 minutes or even less.
24
Now just a caveat here, if you maintain really good self care, you can train your attention span to go a little bit longer every time.
25
But it's really important to start a little bit closer to your baseline in order for you to make realistic progress.
26
So let's figure out your actual average time for sustained focus.
27
The following five step exercise is one of the most helpful things I learned in therapy.
28
So step one is to choose a task that you have to do, preferably something boring or uninteresting or something you have a difficult time with.
29
Now before you begin the task, you're going to want to start a stopwatch on your phone.
30
Step two, start the task.
31
Step three, as soon as you notice that you're getting distracted or tired or you feel the urge to take a break, stop the stopwatch.
32
Now just note that the point here is not to try and do the task for as long as possible.
33
It's just to notice how long you can go before your
34
brain kind of gives up now note down the time on
35
the stopwatch step four is to repeat steps one to three a few more times
36
so do about like four rounds of this
37
and note down the time on the stopwatch every time you stop it to take a break or
38
because you got distracted now step five is to calculate the
39
mean average of all of those times to find your average
40
sustained focus time the first time i did this a few
41
years ago my average was only about seven minutes long My first round was 11 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 7 plus 7,
42
which divided by 4 became 6 .75 minutes, which is not very long.
43
Now, instead of trying to do a Pomodoro with 25 -minute sessions from the get -go, you can work a little bit closer to your average attention span and take more frequent, shorter breaks.
44
And I know recording these times and starting and stopping the stopwatch may seem like a lot of stuff going on, so it may be helpful to do this with a body double
45
when you try
46
and do it now let's remember my attention span was only about seven minutes the first time i did this
47
and i totally hear you
48
if you're screaming at me through the screen going anna that's
49
way too short to get anything done i'm not gonna get into any sort of flow
50
and i totally hear you on that
51
but the most important part of this exercise for me was actually just realizing
52
that i will get tired and distracted a lot more frequently than i thought
53
or hoped i still find this exercise super helpful to do
54
because for a while i did just set like 10 minute timers
55
and take more frequent breaks until i could work my way
56
up now i tend to set anywhere from between a 25 to a 45 minute timer
57
and i do get a little bit distracted during those focus blocks
58
but i'm a lot more compassionate with myself for that
59
and instead of using the pomodoro to get myself to focus for
60
that long stretch of time i actually use it to guide me to take regular structured breaks
61
which brings me on to the next topic how do you optimize your breaks
62
so we all know that we do need to be taking little breaks in between our tasks
63
and throughout the day to maintain a healthy balance of work and life and to be able to focus effectively anyway.
64
But how do we make sure that those breaks are effective and restorative?
65
Having just covered the Pomodoro method, we now know that we can take either shorter
66
or longer breaks depending on what kind of work you just did
67
or how long you were working for or how many rounds of focus work you've just been doing.
68
So short breaks, long breaks, different things.
69
Let's start by figuring out what you should do when you start any sort of break.
70
So first things first, we need to make sure that we don't get carried away when we start a break.
71
Just like you would set a Pomodoro style timer for your work, you're also going to want to set a timer
72
when you start a break so that it reminds you to come back afterwards.
73
I really like the app Focus Friend for this, the one that was designed by Hank Green.
74
I like to use that when I'm working on my own, but I often also use a structured co -working app called focus space
75
because the hosts of the focus sessions on there actually lead you through the breaks with active stretching
76
or mindfulness or they remind you to get up and get water
77
and they check in with you on your progress
78
and it's just really nice to have some interaction and accountability
79
so i'll leave the link in the description box below for you to try focus space and
80
if you decide to sign up with it then you can get a 20 discount for life using my link
81
so in addition to setting a timer
82
when you do start a break it's important to acknowledge
83
that you will need to spend some time refocusing when you come back to work.
84
I find it really, really helpful to build in a couple of refocus rituals or routines that I can rely on, but I'm going to break those down in a future video, so stay tuned for that.
85
Okay, what should you do during a short break?
86
Short breaks are usually around five minutes long, so make sure that you don't start any sort of break activities
87
that would take longer than that or get you sucked into something else entirely
88
when you need to be able to get back to work in five minutes time.
89
The best thing to do is to stand up and move away from your workspace and do something that's like mildly engaging, but not too engaging.
90
So here are some examples.
91
You could make a cup of tea or coffee.
92
You can drink a glass of water.
93
You could do a five minute body scan meditation.
94
I also like to move away from my desk to do this.
95
Or you could do five minutes of gentle stretching.
96
Basically, any easy task that's five minutes or less
97
and doesn't use too much brain power and won't get you carried away with
98
that other task and I'm begging you try not to check your phone.
99
Now what about longer breaks?
100
What do we do with a longer break?
101
Longer breaks are usually about 30 minutes long.
102
You would usually take a longer break after several rounds of like focus sprints
103
and then shorter break
104
or after doing like an extended amount of work like maybe you got into hyper focus
105
or flow and now you just need a much longer break to make up for all of that energy you just spent.
106
During longer breaks you should still avoid trying to incorporate things
107
that would be too engaging or get you too sucked in
108
but you could incorporate activities like having a snack
109
or a meal going for a short walk doing a mini workout i like to just put some music on
110
and dance around for a bit or doing something restorative like a yoga nidra
111
or non -sleep deep rest meditation
112
or have a 20 minute power nap now just a few
113
general tips for breaks as complex as it might be in this day
114
and age because our devices are everywhere try not to check your phone
115
and your notifications and social media when you take breaks.
116
It might sound silly but actually try to schedule in your scroll time
117
but when you do it it's what you wanted to do with that time.
118
This way it's much more intentional and it doesn't disrupt your work day and you don't feel bad about it.
119
Now again I find it super super important to step away from my workspace
120
and away from my screens when I take a break.
121
This helps me come back and actually feel more refreshed
122
because the change of context helps me process the change of time
123
and like actually experience my life
124
and also just for my eye health to stop staring at a screen
125
so close for a while automated routines
126
and settings on your devices can actually be really helpful with this
127
so my phone has a routine
128
that i can put it in called focus mode where it blocks all distracting apps
129
and it puts my phone on do not disturb so
130
that i'm not even tempted to look at it the last
131
topic we're going to cover in this video today is what to do with distractions you experience
132
while you're working and how to delay distracting thoughts.
133
If you have a boring or difficult task you are likely to get distracted.
134
Thoughts of more interesting activities you could be doing or thoughts in general might just distract you from your work.
135
These can often seem more interesting or engaging than what you have to do at the time.
136
So how can you stay committed to focusing once you've decided to sit down and work on a task?
137
Allow me to introduce you to the thought parking lot so
138
when you sit down to work on a task grab something else
139
that you can write on i like to use these mini pocket notebooks
140
but you could also use like a small whiteboard
141
or sometimes i just use my bullet journal
142
if it's there anything you can have next to you
143
that you can easily write on this will be your thought parking lot now you can start your focus timer
144
and your task as per usual and as soon as you notice a distracting thought
145
while you're working grab a pen
146
and write it down in your thought parking lot just keep it to like one sentence do not act on it.
147
Just write it down, leave it alone, and then continue with the task you were working on.
148
This technique helps you let go of and move on from distracting thoughts until it's time to actually deal with them.
149
Knowing that the thought is safely written down in the parking lot means
150
that you don't have to worry about ruminating on it in your head so that you can remember it.
151
You also don't have to act on it immediately.
152
Now when it's time for you to take a longer break, you can have a look at what's on your thought parking lot.
153
Go through the list that you've written down and assess your options
154
if something takes less than five minutes
155
and it's something you can do then just go get it done
156
if it's something that's now irrelevant
157
or it was just a thought you were having you can just cross it off
158
and let it go and if it's something important
159
that you can't do right now because of time or
160
because of you know the situation you're in then schedule it into your calendar
161
and block out time to do it
162
or add it to your actual to -do list to deal with
163
when you schedule time for that
164
so to summarize what we went through in this video we
165
talked about how to work with your actual attention span by finding the average
166
when you're doing a really boring or unengaging task
167
and then we talked about how to take effective breaks for both longer breaks
168
and shorter breaks and then lastly we talked about dealing with distractions
169
while you are working using the thought parking lot method thank you
170
so much for spending time with me today
171
and i will be doing some more videos on focus productivity
172
and time management soon also i'll be making a video on those refocus routines
173
that I really like to use so stay tuned for that.
174
If you have any questions on this topic
175
or anything else you want me to cover please write it down in the comments.
176
I do read through all of the comments and as always stay curious, stay connected and turn your potential into action.
