My ADHD mind-wandered away from this article.

I often wonder what the lives of people without ADHD are like. What is not mind wandering?

Medication adds some stickiness to your focus. So does coffee. The problem is that it can stick to the wrong things.

Run or exercise for an hour and then sit down, and you might find out :)

It would be more helpful to phrase this as “For me, I find running for an hour really helps me focus immediately afterwards”

This is incredibly insulting.

Have depression? Just try being happy.

Have ADHD? Just try focusing.

That's not how it works for me, sadly. After a good run, my mind still wanders, I literally daydream about random stuff for up to an hour (or even more)...

I hope other people have a better experience.
