We get distracted by the new text message that’s popped up on our phone or the recent score in a sports game or the email that we had been waiting for. Do you see that the act of checking our phone is a transition of sorts?! Yes, Adam and I are still in conversation together but one of us are simultaneously starting another task. We wish that they didn’t play such a large role in our lives! At times, while we are in conversation, one of us wants to check something on our phone – like a date in our calendar or the name of a song that we are referring to. Let me give you an example: my boyfriend, Adam, and I have this ongoing discussion about our phones. That’s a lot to manage!! It’s extremely important for you to know that transitions are hard! It’s also important to note that when we are transitioning from one task to the other, the likelihood of us getting off track and distracted is very high. I was about to write “the space in time right before we finish a task and start a new one”… but here’s the thing: we don’t always finish the first task, do we?! Sometimes, that unfinished task is still lingering in space while we are trying to transition to start a new task. Transitioning is that elusive space in time right before we start a new task. The session Isabella & I had opened up a whole new door into the realm of hyperfocus! “We discovered that hyperfocus has an on & off switch which we can toggle by adding or removing friction and giving ourselves some perspective.”Īdditionally, there are some key components that we uncovered that need to be considered when reaching for that hyperfocus switch! Isabella is learning how to harness her hyperfocus and you can too!īefore I jump in and explain the on & off switch there is something important that you need to know! When we are entering or exiting any task there is a period of transition. In a session with a client of mine, we discussed the role that hyperfocus plays in her life and our conversation inspired me to write this post (I have her permission to share our discoveries). Hyperfocus is one of those terms that may see as one of our ADHD superpowers.
