🌟 Focus Friday with Meg 🌟
Hey Amplify Wellness community! 💚
Have you ever noticed how people with ADHD often use parentheses (like this) in their writing? It’s not just a quirky habit—there’s actually a reason behind it!
For many with ADHD, parentheses are a way to capture those fleeting, tangential thoughts without losing the main thread of what they’re saying. 🧠✨ These little asides can be a helpful tool to manage the flood of ideas and keep their writing (and thinking) more organized.
But what if you want to rely on parentheses less often? Here are some tips:
- Bullet Points & Lists: Break down your thoughts into bullet points or lists. This keeps your writing clear and structured.
- Separate Sentences: Turn those parenthetical thoughts into separate sentences. It can help your main ideas stand out.
- Mind Maps: Use mind maps to organize your ideas visually before you start writing. This can help reduce the need for side notes.
- Practice & Patience: Like any new habit, it takes time. Be patient with yourself as you practice new ways of organizing your thoughts.
So next time you see (or use) a parenthesis, remember: it’s not just punctuation. It’s a strategy for clarity and focus! 📚✏️
Stay focused, stay fabulous!
