    Getting Focused with Shane Thrapp (Rebroadcast)

    Hey team, As we look at ways to refresh our systems, we're rebroadcasting a fan-favorite episode featuring ADHD coach Shane Thrapp. We're diving deep into the world of Focus101, a free digital body-doubling platform designed to help you reclaim your focus. If you struggle with task initiation or follow-through, this episode covers the essential mechanics of body-doubling. Shane and I discuss how working in the presence of others—even virtually—can dramatically reduce distractions. We also touch on the "productivity stack": using Pomodoros, alarms, and task-splitting to make your work sessions even more effective. This Episode's Top Tips (A Refresher): The Power of Presence: Body doubling is a technique where working in the presence of another person provides the external accountability many ADHDers need to stay on track and motivated. Stack Your Tools: Body doubling is even more effective when paired with "micro-productivity" tools like Pomodoro timers, scheduled alarms, and breaking large projects into tiny, actionable steps. Focus101: As discussed with Shane, Focus101 is a free, specialized tool that combines body doubling with accountability groups and timing features specifically for the ADHD community.

    Research Recap with Skye: Multitreatment of ADHD

    Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper—or, in today's case, multiple papers—and dive into what they say, how they were conducted, and try to find practical takeaways. The first paper we're discussing is called "The MTA at Eight Years: Prospective Follow-Up of Children Treated for Combined-Type ADHD in a Multisite Study." This is about the MTA, the Multitreatment Study of Children with ADHD, which was the largest, most expensive, and most influential study conducted on ADHD treatment, originally published in 1999. It had a huge impact on how we view ADHD, especially in highlighting the shift toward thinking of ADHD as a chronic condition that requires sustained management rather than just something you "cure." Let's dive in and talk about what's going on in this eight-year follow-up study.

    The Physics of Easy Discipline with Jia Jiang

    Hey Team! I've been on a bit of a break this summer, but I wanted to help celebrate International ADHD Awareness Day by dropping a new episode. We often think that achieving big things requires feeling miserable during the process. We buy into the myth that if a task isn't agonizing, it isn't worth the time we put into it. My guest today is Jia Jiang, an expert in rejection resilience, a Duke MBA graduate, and the founder of Wuju Learning. After stepping away from a stable corporate career at Dell and LinkedIn to launch a tech startup, Jia realized his deepest bottleneck wasn't a lack of talent, but a profound fear of rejection. Fueled with this insight, he launched 100 Days of Rejection Therapy and filmed himself requesting absurd things from strangers daily. And this is actually when I first came across Jia 11 years ago, so it was quite the treat to get to talk with him and learn about his new book, Easy Discipline. Jia brings a unique lens to the table because he's battled his own severe, late-understood ADHD and procrastination loops since growing up in Beijing when ADHD just wasn't considered a thing. In this episode, we talk about shifting away from transactional, anxiety-inducing task completion and moving toward what he calls the "Artist Mindset." We also break down how masking and over-indexing on how other people perceive us turns into a form of self-sabotage, where we pre-reject ourselves before we even give our true traits a chance.

Willpower is a finite biological resource that inevitably runs out, and relying on it just triggers a cycle of broken resolutions and self-blame. Instead, shift your strategy to working with your human nature by building environment-based systems that remove structural friction from the start. If your daily routine constantly feels like Sisyphus endlessly pushing a heavy boulder up a mountain, you are fighting psychological gravity. Instead of forcing yourself through tasks with external pressure, anchor the process in intrinsic enjoyment so the activity becomes your default state. When you flip the physics this way, the boulder starts rolling downhill, meaning it actually takes more active energy to stop your momentum than to keep going. Masking and over-analyzing how others perceive you creates an intense cognitive tension that completely paralyzes the ADHD brain. Break out of this by adopting the "Artist Mindset"—reframing stressful interactions or projects not as rigid transactions where you need approval, but as unreplicable opportunities to express your authentic presence. Focusing on full creative expression in the moment completely bypasses the perfectionism trap and lowers social anxiety.

    ADHD and Pregnancy with Dusty Chipura (Rebroadcast)

    Today, we are dipping into the archives to revisit one of our most important and requested conversations. We're joined by Dusty Chipura, a passionate advocate and ADHD Coach, to explore the often-overlooked world of ADHD and pregnancy. Even if you aren't currently pregnant or planning to be, the insights shared here regarding healthcare gaps and self-advocacy are vital for everyone in the ADHD community. Since this episode first aired, the need for better information has only grown, making Dusty's expertise as relevant today as ever.

Because of this, you may need to be your own strongest advocate, as you might end up more informed on the subject than your primary caregivers. Build Your Team Early: Prioritize a support system that includes healthcare providers who understand ADHD, as well as a community that can offer emotional and practical help. Prepare for Executive Function Shifts: Pregnancy can significantly impact organization and time management. Be proactive in developing strategies and tools—and lean on your support network—to help mitigate these challenges.

    ADHD and the Art of Mindful Living with Ying Deng (rebroadcast)

    We're diving back into the vault this week to bring you my conversation with Ying Deng (ADHD Asian Girl). I'll be honest: for a long time, meditation felt like one of those things I should do, but didn't really get. Talking with Ying changed that. We're rebroadcasting this episode because her approach to mindfulness is perfectly tailored for the ADHD brain. We move past the "popular media" version of meditation and get into the nitty-gritty of how to actually build a practice when your mind won't stop racing. Today's Top Tips: Micro-Mindfulness: You don't need a mountain top; you can practice while putting on your socks. Keep it Novel: Mix up your routine with guided sessions, nature walks, or mindful movement. The Power of Partners: Use body doubling to stay accountable to your practice. Duration Doesn't Matter: Five minutes is better than zero minutes. Start small! Find more from Ying through her Mindfulness Course and grab the full show notes at HackingYourADHD.com/169.
