Learning new skills with #ADHD can be tough. Obviously, it is a learning disability, so there's that, but also, if I'm interested and the hyperfocus kicks in, I can learn fucking rocket science in a week if I really want to (okay, maybe that's a slight hyperbole... 🤔). The hardest part for me when I actually care about something is that it's so hard to just let myself be a beginner. I wanna be a master TODAY.
I've been studying voice acting for the last few years (off and on, because consistency is hard), and I've come a long way in the last year especially, but I'm still lacking a lot of vital experience and my brain is telling me to skip five steps and dive into the deep end NOW.
@ADHDefy truly - why jump through hoops when all the information could be right there if only the course was rearranged 🤣
Or like, what if we could structure learning around diving in at the deep end and learning from trying, instead of building up in a way that doesn't work?
I generally love learning - I met a few teachers who managed to keep up - and that was pure delight.
I'm just sure there has to be a better way than one step at a time for a decade! 🤦♀️ 🤢 I know I should plan my own learning path for every topic - but you need so much executive function (and other stuff) for that 😞
If you'll find some online courses that understand us, please share 😁
@izabelamisiak@loops Same!! It's funny--so many of the ADHDer adults I know talk about how much they love learning. And why wouldn't we? It's one of the best dopamine hits around! lol It's just a shame that, like you said so perfectly, we kinda have to plan our own learning paths.
I will def share any great courses I find! And thank you! 😁
