Here’s a fun one I given many years ago: I had a friend/client who was professor. We’d talk about ADHD, issues, and other things. One day, I came to him saying, “a lot of times, I’ll read a paragraph 20 times, but not remember a single thing from it. It’s drudgery and almost painful to read it. It’s a fight.”

His response was profound to me: “instead of you reading it how you are, try to understand why the author spent their life, time, and effort to learn that material and then convey it to you. What made them fascinated in it?”

By flipping the script… changed my world

This comment gave me pause… because it’s novel to me, while seemingly adjacent to my current worldview in a way that makes me suspect it’s an important missing puzzle piece. That makes me nervous.. yet excited.

I’ll have to meditate on this a bit more. Thanks for sharing!
