Hi Patreon Brains :) I feel tired and a little beat up today. I've been pushing really hard to improve my research skills, interview more experts, learn how to edit those interviews, reach out to more brains in the comments and on social media, do interviews myself to spread accurate ADHD info wher...

New outtakes from the upcoming Relationship Rules episode!
Hello Patreon brains! This may not happen perfectly because Edward's day job editing for MatPat is intense and unpredictable, but this is our goal -- to get episodes posted on a more regular schedule.
Between Edward and I, each video takes about 50 hours to make, but if all goes well we can ...

This is Edward! Jessica wanted me to share this with you very quickly – Hank Green (of the vlogbrothers) just did a video about ADHD, and he linked to our channel! It's AMAZING and we're both freaking out!

Hello Patreon Brains! Today was my first day working in an "office" -- basically, I rented out a little space for How to ADHD and I'm already so glad I did. It's so much easier to work without distractions! I'm getting so much done aughhhhh

For those of you who don't know, Hank Green runs VidCon and is one of our favorite YouTubers. And this. just. happened.
We're kind of losing it.

Thanks to your support, I'm looking into getting a virtual/part-time office space for How to ADHD!

Hello Patreon brains!
I wanted to start posting more behind the scenes content, so I shot this just now after recording the episode that'll go up in the next week or two -- about the stigma around ADHD medication -- to explain why I wrote it. It's a personal one, and got kind of emotional. 2017-03-01 03:46:43 +0000 UTC View Post
for letting me hold my head up high when my acting friends/teachers/agents ask me how my "little channel" is doing and wonder why I'm not auditioning much for real jobs anymore.

Just a quick note to let you know that "relationships part 2 -- friendships" was OVERWHELMINGLY the top choice for this month's episodes, so we'll be doing that one for sure!
In second and third place were "hyperfocus" and "time management w/guest Eric Tivers, ADHD coach" --
