Why Boredom Matters More Than You Think with ADHD

Got ADHD? Ever find yourself bored—or maybe you’ve never even felt boredom because your brain is always plugged into electronics? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) sits down with Dr. John D. Eastwood (https://boredomlab.org/people/), a leading researcher on boredom and mental effort. Together, they explore what boredom really is, whether it might actually be a good thing, and how it affects those with ADHD. They also dive into strategies for managing boredom and its surprising role in productivity. If you’ve got ADHD and wrestle with focus, stimulation, or downtime, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
