It feels like almost every founder I know has some level of ADHD. I'm certainly no exception. I'll be halfway through one task when I suddenly open another tab, check my phone, or start working on something else. My understanding is that ADHD is, basically your brain constantly searching for the next source of dopamine. So if I feel the urge to switch tasks, it might be because my brain has decided that whatever I'm doing right now isn't interesting enough. Work isn't always exciting. Sometimes the job is simply to sit down, push through, and finish what's in front of you. So what's the solution? I don't think there's a magical productivity hack that solves this. What I've been trying instead is simple: whenever I catch myself wanting to start something new, I consciously remind myself to finish my current task first. I use two monitors and use the main monitor for whatever current task, and push all other tasks to the second monitor. It helps as well. But I'm all ears - if you've found something that works well for you, I'd genuinely love to hear it!

One of my favorite ways to learn something new is through coffee chats. Of course, I do my homework first. I'll read articles, watch YouTube videos, listen to podcasts, and go through books. But nothing beats talking to people who are actually in the field. Sometimes they're people I already know. More often, I reach out to someone new on LinkedIn. A cold message, a quick introduction, and a coffee chat. Most people are surprisingly generous with their time and knowledge. I also try not to make it one-sided. Even if I'm the one learning, I always look for ways to help them in return. Many of the biggest insights I've had didn't come from books. They came from conversations. The internet might be great for learning facts; coffee chats are great for learning judgment.
