@amber.figlow: My ADHD Content System: Part One (dopamine) Dopamine doesn't work the same for me as it does for most people, so "scrolling for inspiration" always felt productive... when really it was just me procrastinating through doom scrolling. So I started curating dopamine on purpose instead of hoping I'd randomly feel like doing the content task at hand: I can't treat every part of my content process like it requires the same kind of energy. Planning needs a coffee shop and a sweet little treat to get my creativity flowing... Recording needs a completely different level of energy to step up to the camera... Editing requires me to not have a bra on, with a few comfort items at my desk... This is just problem one, and my ADHD content system solves five distinct problems that I struggle with: 1. curating dopamine rather than relying on motivation 2. removing friction points in the workflow 3. avoiding burnout by going back to the basics 4. time blocking to avoid context switching 5. building consistency when my brain hates it Even if you don't have ADHD, I guarantee you have come across at least one of these problems as you have tried to create content!
I’ve never felt so seen. 100% cannot plan & record on the same day either!

I really really resonate with this - as a full time musician who has to produce content to get more work (not full time, just enough to have most recent projects highlighted), this actually sounds a lot like the way I plan my work days

Well… I think you’re original premise is wrong. No one said ADHD ppl can’t produce a fuck ton of…. Whatever. That’s actually one of the hallmarks of ADHD, the ability to lock in and get shit done…. Just not perhaps in the way others do it. And we do it last minute and or when the whim strikes. And that’s the problem: not being able to stop bc we are so focused. Ppl think adhd is the complete I ability to focus EVER. Thats incorrect. It’s the inability (mostly) to DIRECT the focus when and where we want it and or when it needs to be. It doesn’t surprise me that you have adhd and can create a fuck ton of content. You hyper focus. Many of us do.

Thank you for sharing! I can relate so much! I noticed that I need to do one activity per day, i.e. today I batch record, tomorrow I may be up for planning next ideas, in couple of days I will edit all I recorded previously. And the order is not always logical 😂 As a result, I post 1-2 a day and I always have 3-4 video ready to be posted 🤪
