Perry and Dr. Amy Marshall, who have participated in and testified to the effectiveness of this approach [(00:01:53)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=113s). - Thousands of people have already transformed their lives using this method, which is not just a "nice to have" fix for ADHD or productivity challenges, but a game-changer for those who feel like traditional methods are failing them [(00:01:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=104s). - The method works independently of willpower or discipline and is particularly effective for individuals with ADHD, who often struggle with conventional productivity tools [(00:02:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=150s). - The person sharing their story, Nick, is a well-known ADHD content creator with around 3 million followers on social media platforms, and has used this method to achieve a balanced, happy, and fulfilled life [(00:03:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=190s). - Nick's daily life now involves efficiently completing work tasks, exercising, and enjoying free time without stress, which is a significant improvement from his past struggles with undiagnosed ADHD [(00:03:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=212s). - Nick's journey to discovering this method involved overcoming feelings of being an outsider and struggling with ADHD, and he is now sharing his story to help others who may be facing similar challenges [(00:04:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=264s). ## Early Life Struggles with Undiagnosed ADHD - A person felt like they had a different "software" in their brain that wasn't compatible with the normal world, making them feel different from everyone else [(00:04:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=267s). - The person's family moved back to [[Germany]] from a foreign country due to their dad's work, and they had to catch up on about 4 years of school material while relearning the German language [(00:04:40)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=280s). - This situation felt like an unclimbable mountain, causing the person to feel overwhelmed, behind everyone else, and lacking in self-belief [(00:05:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=309s). - The person struggled in school, excelling in subjects they loved but struggling with those they didn't, and would often procrastinate until the last minute before studying [(00:05:27)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=327s). - Despite putting in effort, the person felt like they were wasting their life away in procrastination mode, not enjoying themselves while studying, and feeling stuck in a constant state of stress, self-doubt, and self-hatred [(00:06:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=373s). - The person would often manage to barely pass tests by putting in a lot of effort, but felt like they were achieving less than others who seemed to put in less effort [(00:07:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=425s). - Teachers labeled the person as a "gifted underachiever," telling them they were smart and had potential but were too lazy to apply themselves, which made the person feel misunderstood and held back by an invisible force [(00:07:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=444s). - Despite struggles, the person managed to graduate high school and get into university, where the same pattern continued, leading to severe anxiety [(00:08:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=481s). ## Diagnosis and Initial Success with Medication - The person decided to see a therapist, which led to a pivotal moment in their [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] journey, as the therapist suggested they see an ADHD specialist [(00:08:18)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=498s). - A person felt frustrated and broken after being redirected to a psychiatrist by someone they thought could help, but the psychiatrist's questions made their life make sense, and they received an ADHD diagnosis [(00:08:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=513s). - The psychiatrist asked questions that resonated with the person, such as completing tasks last minute, feeling overwhelmed or anxious, trying hard but dropping the ball, being super creative but lacking motivation, and having lots of potential but not realizing it [(00:08:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=531s). - The person felt a sense of comfort and relief after receiving the ADHD diagnosis, as it provided a scientific reason for their struggles and made them feel less weird, lazy, or dumb [(00:09:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=568s). - After being prescribed [[Methylphenidate | Ritalin]], the person felt hopeful about breaking the cycle of procrastination and executive paralysis, and they initially experienced a significant improvement in their life, achieving balance and rest [(00:10:14)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=614s). - The person remembers the exact day they took medication for the first time and felt like they could process information easily, which was a new experience for them, and they started to pursue their goal of becoming a full-time content creator [(00:10:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=638s). ## Medication Side Effects and the Search for Alternatives - However, the effects of the medication eventually wore off, and the person had to increase their dose, leading to a downward trajectory in their personal life, including feelings of depression and a strong desire for cheap dopamine [(00:11:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=719s). - The person's relationships also suffered, and they experienced a significant impact on their mental health due to the medication's side effects [(00:12:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=762s). - A relationship was on the verge of breaking up due to the emotional strain and complicated feelings caused by [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]], which added to the existing stress and anxiety [(00:12:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=772s). - The ADHD medication had side effects, causing the loss of creativity, spontaneity, and humor, leading to feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and being trapped [(00:12:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=778s). - Research revealed that around 48% of ADHD medication users experience side effects, according to a 2010 study on [[PubMed]] [(00:14:14)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=854s). - Under a doctor's supervision, the decision was made to stop taking the medication, resulting in a return to the starting point of struggling with focus, procrastination, and executive paralysis [(00:14:36)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=876s). - The experience led to a dark time in life, feeling lost, and entering a state of hopelessness, which eventually transformed into anger, frustration, and an intense determination to find a solution [(00:15:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=934s). - The search for a solution led to trying various natural techniques and productivity hacks, including [[Pomodoro Technique | Pomodoro]] work blocks, accountability, and numerous courses, planners, and apps, resulting in a significant financial investment of around $10,000 [(00:16:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=982s). - Despite trying multiple solutions, the same pattern of initial progress followed by a return to the starting point of struggling with focus and executive paralysis persisted [(00:16:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1002s). ## The Science of ADHD and Dopamine - Many people with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] are highly successful, indicating that there must be a way to overcome ADHD-related challenges, such as low dopamine levels, which affect internal willpower, motivation, and focus [(00:17:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1036s). - Research on ADHD brains revealed that people with ADHD naturally have extremely low dopamine levels, resulting in low internal willpower, motivation, and ability to focus, especially when doing things they don't enjoy [(00:17:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1061s). - Dopamine is the neurotransmitter controlling motivation, focus, and willpower, making low dopamine levels a significant biological disadvantage when it comes to execution [(00:17:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1078s). - Productivity systems often fail for people with ADHD because they rely on initial excitement and dopamine, which fades over time, leading to a lack of motivation and willpower [(00:18:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1099s). - Raising dopamine levels to those of neurotypical people could potentially provide consistently sufficient motivation and willpower to follow through with tasks and goals [(00:18:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1110s). - Researching natural ways to sustainably raise dopamine levels led to the discovery of exercise and a high-protein diet, but these methods had limited impact on dopamine levels [(00:18:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1126s). - Brain supplements, such as alanine, were also explored, but their effects were uncertain and not effective enough to raise dopamine levels to sufficient levels [(00:19:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1150s). ## Discovering the Power of External Triggers and Accountability - The realization that relying on internal willpower and discipline is not effective for people with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] led to the exploration of alternative methods [(00:19:48)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1188s). - The discovery of the difference between internal and external triggers for sticking to deadlines revealed that external triggers, such as deadlines from others, have a consistent impact on performance regardless of internal willpower and motivation [(00:20:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1254s). - External triggers, unlike internal triggers, are not variable and can provide a reliable way to overcome ADHD-related challenges [(00:20:57)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1257s). - The individual realized that their hyperfocus was often triggered by hard deadlines set by others, which motivated them to hire an external accountability coach to set tasks and goals for the week and hold them accountable in a weekly meeting [(00:21:06)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1266s). - However, the individual found that they would only complete tasks last minute, right before the weekly accountability meeting, and their daily life would still be disorganized due to paralysis and lack of focus [(00:21:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1293s). - To recreate the last-minute effect, the individual approached their accountability coach with the idea of having daily meetings, which they implemented immediately, structuring the meetings to include 5 minutes of task discussion, 50 minutes of work, and 5 minutes of accountability [(00:21:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1319s). - The daily meetings with the accountability coach were successful in helping the individual complete tasks with ease, but the cost was too expensive, at $100 an hour, making it unaffordable for daily use [(00:23:22)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1402s). - The individual tried to find cheaper alternatives, including asking an [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] friend to try the daily meeting structure, but it was unsuccessful due to a lack of seriousness and accountability [(00:23:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1430s). ## The Effectiveness of Accountability and Group Focus - Research by Dr. Matthews of the Association for Talent Development found that having an idea or goal has a 10% likelihood of completion, while consciously deciding to do it has a higher probability of completion [(00:24:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1491s). - A method to overcome ADHD paralysis involves deciding when to do a task (25%), planning how to do it (40%), committing to someone that you will do it (50%), and having a specific accountability appointment with someone you've committed to (65%), which can increase the success rate to 95% [(00:25:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1513s). - Having a professional relationship and commitment with a coach or accountability partner is crucial, as having family members or friends hold you accountable may not be effective [(00:25:38)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1538s). - To make the accountability coach more affordable, a group of people with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] or similar struggles with focus and execution can split the costs and have weekly calls with the coach to plan goals and tasks [(00:26:01)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1561s). - The group would then have daily "Focus sessions" where they would work on their most daunting tasks together, which helped increase productivity and focus [(00:26:34)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1594s). - The presence of others in the group had a positive effect on task performance, even for those without ADHD, as everyone was able to complete their tasks within a short period [(00:27:28)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1648s). - This method, which leverages the power of accountability and social presence, was consistently effective over several months, leading to significant progress in personal and professional goals [(00:27:50)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1670s). ## Scientific Backing for Social Facilitation and Focus - Research by Dr. Ross Ramsey and Norman Triplett's social facilitation theory support the idea that having someone else present can increase task performance and motivation, especially for individuals with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] [(00:28:43)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1723s). - The presence of an audience can positively affect performance, as reported by Norman Triplet, and a 2012 study on mirror neurons showed that brain areas crucial for imitating others' behavior are activated when seeing others focus on tasks [(00:29:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1770s). - A 2019 study by Copc Smith and [[Bilbo Baggins | Bilbo]] found that social interactions, such as those in the first 5 minutes of a focus session, can increase dopamine levels, willpower, and motivation [(00:30:07)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1807s). - Human Motivation Theory by Dr. David McCleland states that comparing oneself to a highly achieving reference group can increase one's likelihood of becoming high-achieving [(00:30:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1815s). - Focus sessions with a group of people and an accountability coach can help individuals with ADHD overcome executive dysfunction, procrastination, and poor focus by providing external motivation and accountability [(00:30:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1831s). ## Introducing the Focus Revolution - Traditional productivity solutions often don't work for individuals with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] due to low dopamine levels, making it necessary to find alternative methods [(00:30:55)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1855s). - Having a focus session with an accountability coach and a group of committed individuals can provide the necessary external motivation and accountability to access last-minute pressure and increase productivity [(00:31:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1885s). - The Focus Revolution is an interactive program launched to make this method accessible to everyone, with the goal of helping 1 million individuals with ADHD by 2030 [(00:32:16)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1936s). - The program allows individuals to leverage the method to become hyper-productive, achieve laser-sharp focus, and tackle daily tasks effortlessly, leading to major long-term achievements and a well-rounded life [(00:32:32)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=1952s). ## How the Focus Revolution Works and Its Benefits - A method to defeat [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder | ADHD]] paralysis involves using a combination of expert guidance and peer accountability to boost focus and productivity, which has been found to be highly effective in achieving results that do not fade away [(00:34:52)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=2092s). - The Focus sessions, led by top-tier experts, provide unlimited 24/7 access to help individuals power through tasks, and participants declare their tasks to the coach and fellow participants before diving into 50 minutes of deep work [(00:34:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=2060s). - The method works by combining external forces, such as expert guidance and peer accountability, to naturally boost focus and productivity, rather than relying on internal willpower or discipline [(00:35:12)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=2112s). - Results from the Focus sessions have been impressive, with individuals reporting significant increases in productivity and achieving more in a short period than they had in the previous months or years [(00:35:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=2124s). - Examples of success stories include Timothy, who got more done in his business since starting with Focus sessions, Jeremy, who reduced procrastination, and Sophie, who gained more free time for hobbies and family [(00:35:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UajOKPiv4Uo&t=2131s). ## Program Components and Additional Resources -
