Doesn’t even have to be on the phone. Just watching something, and then just a slightest thought pups up, and I’m gone. 5min later fuck! I missed it again. Sometimes it takes me 2 hours to watch a 30 min show.
Put your phone down. There is literally nothing on it that’s interesting or important. You just think you need it. Before 2007, what did you do with your hands?

Real “just don’t be depressed” energy posting that here lol
Well, you could pause until you know that you are ready to pay attention.
Which means forgetting that you had it paused and maybe noticing 3 hours later.
Get ready to unpause, but it has disconnected you due to inactivity. You shrug and go back to phone
It stuns me that I was so unaware I had ADHD for so long when shit like that is so relatable.
The problem is that adhd symptoms are relatable to everyone.
But if your finding yourself constantly relating to such things, then it might be a good indicator to look into things more or talk to a good therapist
Absolutely. It’s just important to point out that the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences. It becomes a disorder with frequency, being unable to control it, and it significantly negatively impacting your life.
Not too different from OCD in that aspect.
Passive media consumption is dead. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s the most interesting movie or series - I’d rather be doomscrolling or upvoting shitposts.
Relatable af
I rewind to far back. Skip to far forward and spoil the scene.
1 screen it, or try to be ok missing things.
This is why I have to put my phone far away from me during shows and movies lol
I blame the skip duration. Yt default is 5s, when playing at 2.5x speed (set via an extension) that becomes effectively 2s. It’s perfect. If I need more I just press it again.
I have jellyfin set up and (at least on the webbrowser) the default is 30s. Seriously? Why would anyone need 30s skipping? I had the same issue as you before - but only on jellyfin, with YouTube I almost always hit the exact moment I need.
On YouTube desktop site you can use JKL for -10 pause/play +10 or left space right for -5 pause/play +5 respectively. As well as frame by frame with < > keys while paused.
I often put YouTube videos on 2x. Takes all the attention without getting boring and it also saves time.
The other they while practicing piano I played white noise on my headphones so that I could barely hear the piano. It took all my attention to hear myself and I didn’t forget what I was playing halfway through the piece.
