My ADHD superpower is...
Hyperfocusing with ADHD
For those of you with ADHD, you may be familiar with the concept of hyperfocus, where you become so engrossed in a topic or activity that you shut the world out. This can be both a blessing and a curse, as it can lead to periods of intense productivity and creativity, but can also lead to wasting time and losing track of time.
Personally, I have had a love-hate relationship with hyperfocus throughout my life. I've had hyperfocuses on topics that were not particularly useful, such as getting lost in Wikipedia and YouTube videos about Alanis Morissette, but I've also had hyperfocuses that have been incredibly beneficial, such as my passion for video editing.
About 10 years ago, I started a blog and began filming myself exercising and participating in races. I found it easy to pick up the technology and began spending hours watching tutorials on YouTube and using iMovie to edit my videos. This eventually led to creating content that was widely shared and even monetized.
However, the downside is that the hyperfocus can't be controlled or turned on on demand. It's a random occurrence that can make it hard to focus on work or school projects. But, if you're lucky, your hyperfocus may align with your passion or career.
Hyperfocus can be a superpower, but it's important to be mindful of how much time you're spending on a particular topic or activity and make sure it's not negatively affecting other areas of your life.
