      Interview with Dr. Edward Hallowell (Part 2) – ADHD & Careers

      Key Points

      🔹 Finding the Right Job

      • Many ADHD struggles come from being in the wrong relationship or job.
      • Don’t quit impulsively — explore other jobs while keeping your current one.
      • Creative outlets are essential for ADHD brains.

      🔹 Choosing a Career

      • Use the three-circle method:
        1. What you love to do
        2. What you’re good at
        3. What people will pay you to do
      • The overlap = your best career choice.

      🔹 Managing Boredom

      • ADHD people may get bored even in good jobs.
      • “Reinvigorate” work by asking for new projects or challenges.
      • Similar to keeping long-term relationships exciting.

      🔹 Disclosing ADHD at Work

      • Usually don’t disclose — most employers misunderstand ADHD.
      • Instead, describe strengths/weaknesses directly:
        • Strengths: ideas, innovation, creativity.
        • Weaknesses: punctuality, organization, time management.
      • Frame needs positively (e.g., “Deadlines help me deliver” vs. “I procrastinate”).

      🔹 ADHD Strengths

      • Innovators, risk-takers, creat
      • Generous, strong-willed, tenacious.
      • Downsides (disorganization, procrastination) can be managed.

      🔹 Work Habits

      • Thrive when busy and engaged, but risk overworking.
      • Sleep and exercise are natural regulators.
      • Time-blocking helps manage distractions.
      • Motto: “Find your feel and make it real.”

    This is what I understood from the video: it is not about taking any job, it is about finding one that truly fits how your brain works. Dr. Hallowell suggests thinking in three circles: what you love, what you are good at, and what people will pay for. Where those overlap is where your career should aim.

    ADHD brains tend to thrive in creative, energetic, fast moving environments, while overly rigid or repetitive roles can feel draining. If your current job is not the right fit, do not rush to leave. Instead, explore new options while maintaining stability.

    The overall takeaway: ADHD does not mean you are failing, it means you need the right environment to bring out your strengths.

    TLDR: ADHD shines in creative, fast spaces. Find the overlap of love, skill, and pay.
