Video Summary:
Habits protect against ADHD, but why are they so hard to build when you have ADHD? Dr. K breaks down the neuroscience of weaker frontal lobes and dysregulated dopamine versus a separate, relatively intact habit circuitry you can train directly. He explains why standard advice like cue-craving-reward frameworks underperforms for ADHD brains and debunks the 21-day habit myth (real research shows 18 to 254 days, median around 66). He leaves you with a practical solution: build one small habit at a time anchored to a specific transition, reduce friction in your environment, and plan for obstacles instead of building complex plans.
