I have adhd, I write them down. Some of them are great ideas, some are shit.

I got diagnosed at 29. Up until then I was very entrepreneurial and ambitious, constantly working on business ideas. Hell I taught myself software engineering because I had a single idea I hyper focused on lol.

The way I see it, lean into it. ADHD is a double edged sword - you get intrusive thoughts, some of them are bad, but some of them are ideas.

You can’t really change your brain, you can take medication and it might help you focus a bit more.

But I say lean into it. I’ve had several successful ventures from pure ADHD fuelled idea binges.

I don’t really switch off, but I make sure I work in the office every day because being around people helps.

But when I’m alone it’s a barrage of thoughts, some days more intense than others.

There are alot of ADHD founders and programmers

Yep green and this is common “founder ADHD” thing. I just worry about the day today coping.

Honestly man I’ve just come to accept that I’ll be a little unfocused and wired, I’ve learnt there’s not much I can do about it.

We really need novelty so you’ll excel in environments that can offer that (travel, anything fast paced, transport roles like trucking etc)

Embrace the chaos, don’t fight it
