[0:00] i think a lot of folks with adhd might
[0:01] struggle from out of sight out of mind
[0:03] and i had no idea just
[0:05] how extreme that was for me so a really
[0:08] poor memory and if it's not in front of
[0:10] me it doesn't exist and so i need some
[0:13] place to capture everything uh even my
[0:15] husband knows he can ask me something
[0:17] really basic you know even
[0:19] errand and if it's not in notion it's
[0:22] it's just not going to get done so it
[0:24] needs to be on a calendar it needs to be
[0:25] a notion needs to be somewhere visible
[0:27] so getting into the habit of
[0:30] uh you know storing information that is
[0:32] interesting taking notes about what i'm

[0:48] really about that habit of kind of
[0:50] collecting curating and also kind of
[0:52] extracting my own insights from what i'm
[0:54] learning the other thing i love about it
[0:56] is
[0:57] you get into the habit of capturing
[0:59] information in your own way and putting
[1:01] it into your own words and you get to
[1:02] the point where your system is actually
[1:05] a lot more curated than if you were to
[1:07] go to google and search something like
[1:08] now i can actually go to my system and i
[1:10] can kind of sift through my own research
[1:12] which is a lot more
[1:14] you know tailored to to what i'm paying
[1:16] attention to so it's been it's a game
[1:18] changer to get into that habit one thing
[1:20] i think that i'm
