Extra Focus with ADHD Jesse

ADHd20 ·

2025/06/12

We’ve been quoting his book Extra Focus for years—so getting to sit down with author Jesse J. Anderson (aka ADHD Jesse) feels like a major level-up for ADHd20. We dig into adult diagnosis, ADHD myths that refuse to die, and why “just try harder” is absolutely not a viable strategy for the neurodivergent. Jesse walks us through his 4 Cs of motivation, and we all compare notes on system-hopping, shame spirals, and trying to invoice your way through executive dysfunction.Also: fidget envy,

Context Switchcraft

ADHd20 ·

2025/04/03

In this magically chaotic episode, Matt and AK pull a tarot card, misidentify it, and somehow still use it to unlock a whole conversation about context switching. From the dark arts of time-blocking to the ADHD curse of attention residue, they explore why switching gears is so hard for neurodivergent brains—and what TTRPGs can teach us about emotional regulation, better structure, and giving ourselves a damn break.

2025/03/19

In the Season 4 premiere, Matt and AK throw caution (and possibly common sense) to the wind by diving into the mystical, mysterious world of Tarot.

Will the cards unlock new insights, or will Matt just keep pulling Death? Let’s find out together.🔮 Get woo-woo with us in Discord:

2024/12/12

Grief is a tricky beast—messy, unpredictable, and somehow still managing to make us laugh at the worst possible moments. And does your ADHD type shape how you grieve? AK has a theory, and this week, she and Matt explore how inattentive and impulsive ADHD brains might handle collective grief differently—whether it’s by doomscrolling until 2 a.m., rage-cleaning the kitchen, or existing catatonically on the couch.

The Art of Futzing

2024/08/22

"Hello, my name is Matt, and I am a Futz-aholic." It's a danger for many, but especially for those with ADHD: the practice of "working" on building systems to increase productivity or improve online gaming experiences. With the new age of powerful app-building software like Notion, Obsidian, and Foundry VTT, there are more rabbit holes than ever to fall into.AK, the "unqualified Therapist," tries to help Matt find ways to tinker less and do more.p.s. if you're curious about which

"It's not that bad!". "You're overreacting." "Calm the f&%k down!"With ADHD, you've probably heard people say this to you your entire life.
