Probably but I doubt those books offer much. Atomic Habits was shit.

>>57706401
if you have ADD, dont try to combat it, use it to your advantage, like a superpower, like autism, go and farm some crypto, play some vidya where u can get profit like tibia, wow or blocklords, reading atomic habits wont do shit

>>57706401
oh great, more books to read that distract me from making money... this is the real ADHD, thinking you have ADHD and spending all this time researching ADHD and how distractions work while reading a distraction.

find a niche or service in the market.
build a business around niche or service.
don't do said business with jews and blacks.
its that easy.

or spend 5 weeks reading these books, the choice is yours.

>yeah bro you can beat attention deficit disorder. just focus your attention on these walls of text for the next few hours.

Skip the books, read all these. Good luck OP.

>yeah bro you can beat attention deficit disorder
You can, it's just a rotted attention span from overstimulating internet use. It's not an immutable trait.

>>57706401
you fell for jewish tin foil hat theories

Create a character in WoW and unlock the World Explorer, delete the character and repeat

>>57706401
Adderall 25 XR desu plus read that horseshit in OP when you aren't occupied being highly productive or beating your dick raw

>>57706401
I would get any kind of info that provides necessary data to make the decision I cant make alone. Truflation for example could predict or even show actual data on real inflation close to real time, the more info you have the merrier, even if its hard to handle.

Being an ADD sperg going mach 10 is how I make money.

>Will overcoming ADD likely help me make more money?
If you think you can overcome it simply by reading a book then you probably don't have it and are self-diagnosed.

>>57706595
>it's just a rotted attention span from overstimulating internet use
It's been in the DSM since the sixties.

Cal Newport's book is shit. *One* useful tip in the entire thing.

>>57706401
ADD is FREE energy nigga. Combining that with INSOMNIA means INFINITE DRIVE.

>>57706401
I don't know what to tell you anon, I would intuitively say yes but I became the least tenured principal at my company by training myself to be like this anon >>57706971
Whenever shit gets real I just rev my engines to max autism and get shit done
I have no idea how it worked but people respect me for it somehow

>>57707058
I do have a diagnosis. for me, certain habits and lifestyle changes helped me at least as much as medication and without the side effect of being an absolute rage monster.
it is simultaneously true that ADD is real, and that lifestyle is a contributing factor that can push the needle.

>>57706567
Literally this. First poster to reply to OP has terabytes of propoganda at the ready to convince OP to take his meds.

>b-b-but sometimes I forget where I put my keys. I totally have ADHD which is a totally real disorder!

No. You're just stupid. Stop jacking off. Stop drinking corn syrup.And ffs stop taking drugs from people who get paid to shill drugs. Use your fucking head Anon.

I've read the Deep Work book and it's basically saying to block off time to focus on tasks instead of trying to brute force it. Not sure if it's helpful when it comes to investing or making art/music (my hobby) or if it just turns you into a robot

These are nice advices, a pre covid pre AI, pre open border world, but it’s literally over now, specially for jobs.

Unlike what some people here like to think, reading is not bad or a waste of time in and of itself. Literacy is one of the most important assets you have, but of course, it depends on what you use it on, and how long you use it.

I don't have ADHD/ADD, though I'm sceptical as to whether reading books about ADHD is a good use of your literacy, and more importantly, your time. Some of these "self-help" books can be useful, some are utter horseshit. All depends on the individual. For example, I wonder how many of the mainstream ones are targeted consciously or unconsciously towards 'neurotypical' people, rendering them somewhat useless for those with ADHD.
Therefore, it's up to you to determine whether your 'symptoms' are bad enough to require a prescription medication to manage. Again, all your call.

And to answer your original question, "will overcoming ADD help me make more money?"
The answer is that it depends on your current symptoms. If you literally cannot focus on anything besides video games and tv shows, yes, 'treating' your ADD to lessen the 'symptoms' would help you in earning more money. You'd be able to focus on learning about finance, whether it's the crypto space or "TradFi" ie stocks, options, etc.

I wouldn't recommend 'leaning into' your ADD by bothering with something like blocklords and other crypto games, since learning how to do research different projects, reading the white papers, actually understanding how the tech works, and how their project fits into the broader crypto space, then engaging with their platform/coin is far more profitable than earning like USD $5/hour playing blocklords.

For example, you'd earn more by researching into different lending/staking platforms and their respective yields then getting involved, instead of playing crypto games.

Atomic habits can be summarised in a blog post or 2 sentences.
>Make a list (plan) of small steps.
>Follow it daily.

I'm unresponsive to meds and am pretty much doomed. My brain literally doesn't work and can't process urgency. Vyvanse is trash and I'll be asking my doc if I can switch to IR stims

As a last ditch effort I'm going all in on the parasite pill which apparently has cured many, but at this point I find it hard to believe anything will ever help

ADHD is a huge advantage for scalp trading though

This. It takes years at best to overcome.

>>57706401
getting into projects like Btcdragon early and EaglesWings that's set to launch soon will make you more money chad.

ADDiggers can't trade, you will always pick the wrong entries and exits. The best thing you can do for yourself is DCA long term and hold until number is up, then sell when number is up and never look back.

Protip for the "I have ADD because my parents put me on meth as a kid", you're 3 inches shorter than you would have been. Your parents are abusive nutjobs who permanently stunted you and your meme disease doesn't exist.

>>57711328
I do think you're correct. What kind of projects are you dca-ing into?

>>57706401
If you actually have ADHD then you should get some adderall or vyvanse. That shit is life changing as long as you don't use it to look at porn for 10 hours and read wikipedia pages. Also reading in general makes you more focused. Try to work in areas that are uncluttered too.

The raw reality of things is the majority of people fall into this exact same trap… These emotional greentexts or TikTok’s you watch on how to make it are the exact problem that hooks you in. Everyone knows the basics… No porn, sugar, social media, no scrolling. The real red pill is that a lot of people genuinely try these things for a bit but then fall right back into them. Yes those things are addicting but the true devil and drug is the dopamine and instant emotion you get when quitting those things. It’s literally motivation porn. A lot of people will read this thread and get motivated. They delete the apps and websites on there phone plan a diet and gym plan. Then in 2 weeks max they find themselves doing it again. If you truly cut out motivation porn and give yourself a notebook and write for a week you will likely face depression. But this depression is good. You’re not gonna read any success porn books or scroll on 4chan looking for “how to make it”. You will find your true meaning on this path. But it is EXTREMELY HARD. Think of it as quitting heroin. Resistance to doing what we need to do is the most addictive drug. For example this wall of text might actually save someone but I am indulging in this drug by typing this right now. I am getting dopamine as we speak by typing this because it motivates me. If you listen to this and genuinely follow it you will be depressed and down for awhile. But then once you see progress in the gym and your business you get the right kind of dopamine hit. From actual progress.
1. Respond any thoughts
2. Delete all social media, YouTube, get off 4chan, quit sugar, porn.
3. Get a notebook and write what you need to do. You will get urges to watch YouTube videos or go on 4chan for more motivation.
4. Do the work it will be depressing but know why you are doing it.

That simple guys. And

>>57706401
Isn't it comical and kinda cruel to recommend books longer than 40 pages to combat ADD?

>>57711682
That's what I was thinking as well, it's counter intuitive.

>>57706401
You'd get more out of adderral than those books

>>57706490
>un-tensing your anus
Solid advice. How would I tell if it's this or the lack of BCAA's that's truly holding me back?

What do you guys think about reading/listening to book summaries? Theres tons of free or paid ones out there but just wondering if other people do it daily and if people think its actually useful for self-development.

>>57711591
"And" what?!

ADHD is the worst condition on the planet, moreso than most life threatening diseases for one simple reason - It makes you a traitor to yourself. I've had opportunities pass me by, had relationships destroyed, and never even realized a fraction of my potential due to this condition from the pits of hell. All anyone sees on the outside is a normal person, and you could be anywhere on the intelligence spectrum, but having ADHD will always drag one into the abyss. The very fact that it's so subtle is what makes it the most nefarious condition born to man.

And I'm not gonna argue that it's natural either for all the fags who scream how fake it is. I do indeed think it's caused artificially through childhood vaccines, which would explain how it's such a prevalent comorbidity with autism. I can definitely recall a time in my life when I was normal, enjoyed waking up to go to school, had normal habits, then it's like a light switch flipped.

My best hope is doing what >>57709620 was talking about and parasite cleansing + heavy metal detoxing. I have every dewormer (ivermectin + pyrantel pamoate + fenbendazole) inbound and will be giga dosing boron and iodine to see if I can repair my obliterated risk/reward section of my brain and maybe shit out invasive interdimensional worms rooted in demonology while I'm at it.

>>57711591
All of your recommendations are perfectly fine and I agree with all of them, but it may be neglecting one serious variable: mental disorders are most likely heavily influenced through parasitosis. Homosexuality for example is completely fake and retarded and makes no sense from an evolutionary perspective for someone's reproductive drive to wish for anything other than making children. Likewise, it's probable that ADHD is some form of pathogen hijacking the risk/reward sector of the brain to make people engage in insanely self-sabotaging behavior

If a parasite can cause rats to become sexually attracted to the smell of cat piss, who the fuck knows what sort of damage they can wreak in the human mind. Unless you cleanse yourself, these are for life btw. Toxoplasma crosses the blood/brain barrier and chills there forever until removed via turpentine and dewormer meds.
