Gen X ADHD — We Were Just Called 'Troubled Kids'


If you’re Gen X and you were called “troubled,” “spacey,” or “bright but doesn’t apply,” this may not be a personality flaw—it may be undiagnosed ADHD. This episode breaks down why you can hyperfocus for hours… yet can’t start one email, and how to fix the activation problem using simple, neuroscience-based tools.

You’ll learn what’s happening in the brain (dopamine, norepinephrine, reward + alertness systems), why shame creates short adrenaline “productivity” bursts that lead to burnout, and why focus often shows up only when the stakes are high.

Practical strategies you can use today:
The 90-Second Start (unstick initiation fast)
Dopamine sequencing (prime → work → reward without derailment)
Add friction to distractions (stop “how did I end up here?” spirals)
Move-to-focus microbursts (boost alertness on demand)
Externalize your brain (simple capture + 3-target planning)
