The first principle for thinking freely in 2025 is an *absolute* zero tolerance policy on unintentional content consumption

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

@owennurminen @hazan0608 Altho “lean into it” is also important. Especially when it comes to obsession. Gotta learn how to play both sides

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

@owennurminen @hazan0608 This ultimately just comes down to structure.

When you work for someone else, they give you structure

In absence of this being externally imposed, when you have the ADHD mental phenotype, the highest ROI thing you can do is build your own systems + structure

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

@owennurminen Without a shadow of a doubt

Getting 10-15k steps a day while literally just working lol

Helps me focus way better too

Treadmill desk is the #1 investment you can make in your productivity, by a long shot

6k steps + ridiculous amounts of work done within an hour of waking up

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

Long term "monk mode" is actually an extreme verison of the comfort zone.

Physical pain is one thing, but the only real trigger of psychological discomfort is novelty.

Inventing your own mental models & worldviews is by far the most powerful driver of personal growth.

Peat-esque view of productivity:

Productivity is momentum.

All productivity issues come from blockages in momentum.

There are various mechanisms at play, but they all come back to the same point

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

The way you deal with vices is never by trying to crush the source energy.

Your core desires are never the real problem. It's the outlets they run through.

Entertainment > scrolling > BOOKS

Competition > video games > SPORTS

Tastiness > junk food > GOOD RECIPES

Sociality > social media > REAL LIFE

Sexuality > p0rn > ACTUAL GIRLS

Vices aren't born from desires. They're born from outlets.

If you're not getting your work done, 95% of the time, it's one of 3 things:

1) You're spending too much time doing manager work.

2) You're not building momentum early in your morning.

3) You haven't put systems in place that automatically prevent distraction.

Fix these 3 and you'll be good.

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

@yashtalkss Exactly

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

When you're not getting your work done, your first instinct is to 2x your effort / hours.

This leads to you literally getting LESS done

On top of your poor approach, you're getting emotional + trying to FORCE it to work,

Causing it to work even less.

Productivity by flow, not by force.

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

@yashtalkss Yep

What tweet were you reading 60s ago?

You can't remember.

Stop frying your short term memory with valueslop content.

Go do something of actual substance.

@DrewPrintsCash Facts

[Franklin Peterson @franklinADHD]

The task at hand should always be the most exciting thing in your workspace.

This way, getting distracted requires more effort than staying focused.
