Welcome to Hackney Your ADHD.

I'm your host, William Kerb, and I have ADHD.

On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain.

This week, we've got the return of my friend Saman Keshe, an award-winning music video director and all-around creative force of nature. To talk about the wild and untamed internal landscape of ADHD productivity. Saman is known for his works with bands such as Kaigo, Basement Jacks, and Placebo, and most recently his work directing Ed Sharon's Ozzy Zom music video. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's real cool. Today we get into the weeds of what makes a tool sticky, how to both lower

hurdles and stakes when you're stuck, and the role of friction in derailing our systems.

Saman also shares how he uses routines, gamification, and a lot of self-reparenting to manage

the inevitable paralysis that comes with big projects,

tiny tasks, and everything in between.

This one's more of a chill conversation with friends about what works and what doesn't

in their ADHD worlds.

All right, keep on listening to find out how to build creativity and productivity into your

ADHD world.

So you have a, like an organization or a calendar board, and all of the markings

have been caked on and they're from

2024 so clearly that hasn't been looked at and probably neglected it's behind the

door outside of your current office what would you like to change about that like

what would you change so that that becomes a little more active in your life and a little

you know not out of sight out of mind well I could just move it right next to me here. Like literally just have it right here. That's what I thought it was. Yeah. Like I see it. And it makes it one of the biggest things I find for these systems is removing the friction from using them. So the friction of using that one was that it's not right where I'm doing work. It's not, if I need to look at what I want to do next, I have to go over to that system and then look at it, make sure it's up to date. But if I have something that's just like, oh, this is right here, I can just look right now. That's a lot easier. And it's funny because that you asked about it. I'm like, oh, I didn't have it here before because there was like other stuff on the wall there now, that got taken down. I'm like, oh, I could put that. I could move that now. It doesn't need to be where it is. Yeah, that's pretty genius, though, that you like called it removing the friction. I think that's a pretty like spot on like way to put it like for a day because do you find that like

you have to kind of retool something maybe for yourself either vocally or verbiage wise or something

that just kind of remind you in a simple way because so many people have like organization rules
