ADHD motivation isn’t about willpower.

It’s about understanding what actually works for your brain.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frozen, or frustrated with yourself—this is for you. 👇

@iLoveSpectra I actually feel like it’s the opposite!

The smaller outer screen discourages longer use (a good thing), so it requires a more intentional “I’m going to use this for awhile, so I’ll unfold it” action to get lost.

I feel like my attention will be stolen less by accident.

So… the iPhone Duo is incredible and I don’t think I’ll ever want to go back.

Reminds me a LOT of how I felt with the original iPhone.

Are there flaws? Sure. But none of them are fatal and the positives are SO DANG EXCITING AND FUN.

@carriemae68 Two of my favorite Apple devices are the iPhone Mini and the iPad Mini—this combines both into a single device that feels great to use.

Personally, I never put my iPhones in cases.
But I’m a weirdo (with Apple Care). 😅

@RonfortMartin I don’t plan on burying mine in sand or trying with all my might to bend it in half so I think I’ll be okay.

One of the trickiest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to try to convince my brain it is interesting to even start.

The ADHD urge thinking I can learn an entirely new language before an international trip next year…

Or next month…

Or next week…

My toxic trait is saying yes to the things I am able to do, without actually considering if I have the time, energy, or motivation.

ADHD is like 50% not working, 50% working frantically to make up for the not working, 50% thinking about the work I should be doing (but not actually working), and 50% not sleeping (but trying to).

@hSanat @arvindhsundar Thanks!

Any friends with an Instinct invite?

I’m curious to try it.
