I Tried This it Worked EPISODE TWO / ADHD IDEAS!

Description

In this episode Emma and Stuart discuss and acknowledge that Adhders often tend to be great ideas generators – imagine brains with light bulbs flashing on and off or a brain like a pinball machine of ideas. Sometimes though we can become overwhelmed by the number of ideas.

Different situations are very conducive to having ideas such as whilst Stuart is on a run or Emma sitting on a bus. We discuss episode 57 of the Huberman Lab podcast which discusses conditions for analytical v divergent thinking. We ask what do we do with all of our ideas? How do we prioritise and avoid overwhelm?

Having the idea is the first step but just how do we store them, retrieve them and put them into action?

Are you someone who has lots of ideas and then what do you do with them?

Quotes from podcast:

Emma Aylett “Just because ideas come easily to you it doesn’t mean we should devalue them.”

Stuart: “I call it the idea explosion, right?. And they just come too fast, too frequently. And sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's not too great because we feel overwhelmed.”

Mary Kay Ash: “Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless”.
