Closing Ceremony Cohort 3.5 is happening in 5 days

From procrastination, overwhelm & addiction → #1 ADHD Skool
I run three companies, have won several awards, work out almost every day, but more importantly, I can finally say that I live a peaceful and fulfilling life. A few years ago, I was an exhausted gaming addict who didn’t even dare to open his own mail. Here’s what happened. The kid with the headphones is me, around ten years old. I spent years escaping into games, because real life felt too overwhelming to face. Later the games became festivals. Every weekend: party, drinking, numbing. Every Monday: flat, anxious, useless. From the outside it looked like fun. From the inside it was mail I didn't dare open, a room I couldn't keep clean, 15 minute tasks I procrastinated on for months, and one word on repeat in my head: lazy. The bottom photos are the part I almost didn't post. The numbing. The version of me that eventually burned out completely, sitting at his desk at 2am wondering what was wrong with him. By then I'd spent over 30K on courses and programs to fix myself. Finished none of them. Now the right side. The gym, almost daily. The water tower is my office. I rent the top floor and work there with my brother and my best friend. The purple one is the T500, an award for tech entrepreneurs here in the Netherlands. I am traveling the world. I don't show you this to brag, and before your brain says "good for him": my life is not perfect. I still have ADHD. I still lose my keys, I still overcommit, I still have days where nothing works. So what changed? Not discipline. I still have almost none. Not an app or a planner. Those all worked for about nine days. Not the diagnosis, and not the medication. That's a story for another day. What changed is who I believed I was. On Monday I'll tell you exactly what I mean, including something I found in my old school reports that I had zero memory of. And maybe your left side looks nothing like mine. No gaming, no festivals. Maybe yours is quieter: the to-do list that makes you want to cry. The anxiety before opening one email. Being exhausted at 3pm after a day of doing "nothing". Overthinking every conversation afterwards. Procrastinating on exactly the things you care about most. The fear of being judged if people saw the real state of things. Calling yourself lazy while what you actually are is overwhelmed.

Next live 5 day challenge announcement + New AI experience
Hey everyone, Jim here. Three things announced today. 1. The next 5-Day Challenge kicks off August 31: Free, live, and rebuilt from the ground up. This is the best version we've ever run. Save your spot here. Then do the part that actually decides whether you show up. Open your own calendar, block the hour on all five days, and set two reminders. For brains like ours, if it's not in the calendar it doesn't exist. Do it now, while this post is still on your screen. It takes two minutes. 2. Still finishing something something? You have until July 20 ⚠️ If you're working through the ADHD Focus Reset or the current 5-Day Challenge, they stay open through Monday July 20. After that everything closes until August 31. 3. New onboarding, and a new AI experience: The ADHD Operating Manual. The first section is free for every member, so you can try it before you decide. The full version is $27 right now instead of $99. Temporary. And that $27 is one single payment, no subscription. It also opens the chat with my AI twin: three messages a day, every day, all the way until the challenge starts on August 31. Ask it why you keep doing that one thing, and it answers with everything it already knows about you from your own reports. So tell me where you're at. Vote in the poll, it takes one tap. And if you're coming August 31, type a comment below and include the word: CHALLENGE and let us know how excited you are 🥳 With love, 💛 Jim

My anchor
My operating manual showed my first domino to fall was first thing in the morning. I would grab a coffee and hit the computer, supposedly to check my email, messages, and Facebook. But as I notice interesting things, off i go...scrolling! I normally wouldn't even notice that I could be there for hours, not even eating!...until I actually looked at the clock! By then, any motivation I might have had is difficult to recover! Now I have started a new routine, my Anchor. When I get up to put the dog out, I now grab a glass of water and go out with him! I get 10-15 min of fresh air and sunshine, decide what my goal for the day is (one unnormal task to complete), and tell myself it WILL be a great day! Nothing like starting the day with positive thoughts!!! When I come in, I set a timer for +/-1 hour to make coffee and something to eat, and check in on the computer. Then I am off to a better start of my day.!! So far so good!!

Dripping water is horrible It wrecked me
📅 Daily Check-in - August 15, 2026 After 2 months of decent, consistent sleep one night of discomfort and torturous sounds and it blows up! Oh well tonight’s another opportunity to shut the world out and sleep! 🎉 💭 Reflection: "Morning, AT. What a night, as you could see. The worst sleep I've had in a long time. I finally had to get my earbuds, turn on some kind of music that said it would stop me from doom scrolling. Thought it might help me quiet my mind to go to sleep. There was water dripping someplace all the fucking night long. Plus, my body couldn't relax because of the train ride and I was in a lot of discomfort. And even with the paracetamol, I wouldn't relax. I woke up at six, laid in bed till 6 30. I've been slowly trying to wake up. So, I'm gonna go out, brush my teeth, get dressed, drink my coffee outside, I think, and then go for a walk. Yeah, I am wrecked. No, we don't have anything planned for the day, right? No big major thing. Dolores and I talked about going to get a cup of coffee, so if she wakes up, then yeah, but if she doesn't, then no. But, yeah, I need to stretch and I need to, I need to go to bed tonight and get some decent sleep. Because it was horrendous. Dreams are very informative, but I can't remember what they were, but anyway, there you go." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 8/10 ⚡ Energy: 8/10 🎯 Focus: 8/10 😌 Calmness: 10/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 4/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 7.5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🌿 Grounding 🚶 Walk 📝 Journaling
