Reading with ADHD is hard for two reasons
Reading about ADHD, overstimulation and sensory overload pointed to the same two problems.
01Too much coming in at once
"It can feel like you have too many tabs opened on your mental browser."
Henry Ford Health, How to Identify and Manage Overstimulation ↗"The overwhelming sights, sounds & smells of capitalism."
Ayesha Khan, PhD, Capitalism Overwhelms Our Senses… ↗A page full of text is one more open tab. Less on the page means less to process.
02A mind that drifts away from now
The challenge is to "focus their attention on what they are doing right now."
Marla Cummins, A Guide to Being Present When You Have ADHD ↗"In as little as 90 seconds you can bring yourself back to now."
Marla Cummins ↗Focus isn't only about blocking things out. It's also about a quick way back.
The bookmark had to answer both.
