RE: I Can't Read This! Glimpses Into a Life with Inattentive ADHD
I have the exact same issue. I am always trying to decrease the amount of clutter on my screen.
I have a very hard time on any sites that are text heavy, but it's easier if you make your text larger by zooming the screen. I have steemit at 150% for example!
Here's some things that tend to help me:
Zoom webpages/Mobile Sites/Narrowing the browser image
Figure out what sites suit you best in terms of social media. For me picture
heavy beats text heavy.
For example, I do more stuff on Tumblr verses Twitter.I personally don't bother with written tutorials anymore. It's all video
tutorials/video classes for me.If you can trim out stuff that is irrelevant to you, do so in social media. I use a
extension for tumblr to block post of things I'm not interested in. Don't care
about superhero posts? Now you don't have to see them.
I'm not sure if they have something of the sort for other sites though.
I hope that helps anyone. Great post!
Interesting how we each process things differently-- appreciate your sharing!
I find text much easier than images... and MUCH easier than video. Can't do Vlogs and video tutorials as the visuals completely interfere with my ability to "hear" what's going on... and after 30 seconds, I start tuning out. With text, I can speed read... and get in 20 seconds what it takes a 3-minute video clip to explain.
But that's just me.
Interesting!! How are you with just audio podcasts then?
I sometimes up the video speed if it makes start zoning.
@mushroomseeds, audio podcasts are OK... and usually I find myself doing something else while listening to audio-- actually used to co-produce my wife's talk radio show some years back, and I was often the "metric" for short attention span.
nope...not JUST you.
me too..
video is boring....too slow.
