ADHD Aha! | ADHD and distraction in the military and at home (Justen's story)

Justen Scott got diagnosed with ADHD this year at age 27. While he was in Qatar to complete military service, his ADHD “aha” moment occurred. The work continued to pile up. Since high school, Justen had struggled with time management and focus. He noticed his problems in high school and was noticing others in the military.

Justen and Laura Key, the host, talk about how it is possible to appear “cool” from the outside while still being distracted by thoughts that race at a mile per minute inside. Justen shares his thoughts on ADHD management in the military. You’ll also learn some tips for managing ADHD.

ISOLATED MOMENTS OF SANITY #5: Anxiety Isn't A Disorder. Many people are anxious about the covid -19 situation. Some even wonder if they might be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Today's video examines how our culture can make normal human emotions into mental disorders.

These are the links to the entire series:
1. Keep it simple. /> 2. This is impossible to imagine. /> 3. Limit the news. /> 4. Anxiety is not necessary. /> 5. Anxiety is not a disorder. /> 6. Do not worry about paper. /> 7. What would you do? /> 8. Broaden your base. /> 9. Get out of your misery. /> 10. Structure. /> 11. This is the time to plan for the future. />
Some ideas in this series are reminiscent of some of my recent books, "How to be Miserable", and "How to be Miserable In Your Twenties," both available at Amazon and your local bookshop. Both of these books make good isolation reading.

Here's how to order How to be Miserable In Your Twenties.
