 Took 54mg concerta instead of 20mg elvanse, just to see the difference before [[2025.12.19.We|Wednesday's]] medication review. I noticed the kick-in in the morning, more than elvanse, but I found myself not working on my assignment until around 6 hours in. This co-incised with the release profile peak. I noticed this and around 16:00 I crushed 15mg of Medikinet XL and took that. This seems to work quite well, and I was able to focus and actually write, without constant restarting and rewriting, over and over.

 - I have a tendency to write a section, then rewrite it, then rewrite it again, then again, and so on. I end up generating pages of text, that's just going no where, stuck in the introduction. I think this is a mix of not knowing understanding the material enough, [[me ADHD]], and perfectionism. But this is the most frustrating part of the process for me.
 This, and the first section, have been hard work for me. The first assessment involved creating a personal statement for a medicine application, so I approached as though it would be used in my actual application.

 To stay on track with my [[Access to HE Diploma (Medicine)]] I needed to get the SAQ;s done today so that I could be on track to get the next unit before the 22nd (when the [[Distance Learning Centre]] closes for Christmas). I've lost sooo much time on the first two units, they should have taken 22 days to complete if I want to make the summer moderation, I took 75 days! Out of a total of 234 days available, I used a third (32%) of that time on 9% of the total marks.

+- previously was put on 70mg of elvanse, but i found this too much
-![[Recording 20260305094814.m4a]]
+- ~2 week ago i stopped 70mg and started experimenting with lower doses
 - my baseline, 30mg wasn't enough, and i think 50mg was the start of too much
 - so i split the 70mg down into 40mg doses
 - for the last week 40mg seems to working well
 	- sleep has improved
 	- appetite has returned during the day
 	- i feel like me again, not flat and laser focussed on one thing
 - Laura has done a follow on prescription for 40mg
 - will have another review in one month
 - will look to move to gp combined care after, if all okay

 an ai summary of the video:
 In this video, [[Ruri Ohama]] shares a three-part productivity framework specifically designed for people with ADHD or those who struggle with "activation energy" (the difficulty of getting started).
 ### **1. Solving Activation Energy**
 Getting started is often harder than the work itself. Ohama uses three techniques to "activate" her brain:
 - **Morning Light Therapy:** Sitting in front of a 10,000 lux light lamp for 20–30 minutes within 30 minutes of waking up to reset the circadian rhythm and clear brain fog [[02:34](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=154)].
 - **Kitchen Table Setup:** Placing her laptop on the kitchen table the night before to "trick" the brain into starting work during breakfast, avoiding the mental resistance associated with a dedicated work desk [[04:14](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=254)].
 - **Planning the Night Before:** Visualizing the next day’s structure to prevent decision fatigue and aimless procrastination in the morning [[05:14](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=314)].
 ### **2. Signal vs. Noise**
 High performance comes from identifying what truly matters rather than just being "busy."
 - **The Brain Dump:** Emptying all thoughts and tasks into a system every morning to clear mental clutter and silence the "loud" ADHD mind [[11:32](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=692)].
 - **Daily Highlight:** Identifying just one "signal" (the most important task) that would make the day a success. This helps protect focus and prevents the guilt associated with toxic productivity [[14:00](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=840)].
 - **Protecting the Signal:** Treating everything else as "noise" that can be ignored or delayed until the primary goal is achieved [[16:31](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=991)].
 ### **3. The Sprinting Method**
 To maintain momentum and avoid the "engine cooling down" effect of frequent breaks, Ohama uses sprints:
 - **Categorize by Energy:** Tasks are grouped into four categories: **Urgent**, **Deadlines**, **Admin**, and **Creative** [[22:46](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=1366)].
 - **Treat Sprints as One Task:** Instead of switching between small tasks, she works through an entire category in one continuous "flow state" to minimize context switching [[23:26](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=1406)].
 - **Follow Energy, Not the Clock:** Rather than "eating the frog" (doing the hardest thing first), she works on what matches her current energy level to avoid burnout and resistance [[19:13](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=1153)].
 ### **Key Takeaways**
 - **Stop forcing traditional breaks:** For some neurodivergent brains, breaks act as "task switchers" that kill momentum [[18:21](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=1101)].
 - **Focus on signal, not quantity:** You cannot compete on volume alone; success comes from protecting the 3–5 things (the signal) that move the needle [[09:10](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=550)].
 - **Visual systems over lists:** Using visual boards (like Kanban) is often less overwhelming for ADHD minds than static, long to-do lists [[25:01](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5LSbjqb958&t=1501)].

 [[Volunteering at Harplands Ward 1]]
 - I missed the previous week ([[Erin Mary Hodgetts|Erin]] and girls were in [[Hornsea]] and I was lost in hyperfocus at home, [[me ADHD Medication|ADHD meds]] were too high)
 - I actually felt useful this week
 	- I watched over [[Nathan 2025-11-28]] while he went out for a smoke
 	- I played chess with [[Mark 2025-11-28]], he's very good, and thought I was too (even though I lost all three games), but he enjoyed it, wants to play again next week
 - [[Luke 2025-11-07]] had finally been discharged from the ward since y last visit
