Hi,

I am coming here seeking advice. I am 21, studying and am currently doing an internship. But it’s not going well. I am struggling so much with getting disctracted and watching youtube. Even though i often do want to do someting, i often don’t do anything except watch youtube. When i do actually do something it’s often not what i need to do. It’s getting really tiring and i just want to be able to do the shit i want and need to do. I often watch youtube to have some sound, but i can’t turn it off after, it is also often the same with listening to podcasts. Often when i try to improve it only works for about a week and then i fall back into my same habbits. Do many of you struggle with this, and what do you do about it?

    If you pass all your tests, then that’s great! It speaks for a high IQ paired with ADD. ADD is by no means a superpower, it’s still a disability, but you can partially compensate for it with a high IQ. What you lack in perseverance in learning, you probably make up for by learning to use what little knowledge you have effectively to derive solutions or with transfers from other areas. Believe me when I tell you that in many professional fields this can be a useful skill that many lack.

    Due to this I am able to work as an IT Automation Engineer, despite not having any kind of degree.
