Understanding ADHD and Consistency
ADHD is often misunderstood; it is not just about a lack of focus but rather about attention control. Individuals with ADHD can experience hyperfocus, which can detract from their goal-oriented tasks if they focus too intently on unimportant activities. One of the most significant challenges highlighted is the issue of consistency, with many entrepreneurs expressing that regular weekly progress leads to substantial long-term achievements. The emotional aspect tied to consistency is crucial, as those with ADHD often feel frustrated about unmet goals, which can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and result in avoidance behaviors.
