Focus on the task-positive network (TPN) and harness the default mode network (DMN) to your benefit
from ADHD 2.0 : New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction—From Childhood Through Adulthood by Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey
How to Apply This
-
Embrace the fact that you can change who you are and where you are headed
You are never too old to find a new life, new love, or a better day. -
Spend more time in the TPN focusing on a single task
If you start to feel negative, look elsewhere and complete a random task. Try exercising, singing, reading, breathing exercises, or focusing on a pattern. This will then shut down the DPN. -
Once the TPN is engaged, redirect the imagination (DMN) to create positive and constructive material.
