Late night concept sketches of the “infinity drawer”
Basic concept: object permanence. If I put something in a drawer and close it, I will never remember it again unless something else reminds me that it exists.
Metaphorically, I’m often accidentally dropping things in the drawer.
I might forget a responsibility at work, it falls into the drawer.
I will never ever remember that responsibility again because it’s fallen into the abyss of my infinity drawer.
It will live there indefinitely until someone or something reminds me to take it out again.
With ADHD, you often lose track of things you can’t see.
As if you lack object permanence.
The difference is: when you can’t see something, you don’t actually think it no longer exists.
You just don’t think anything about it at all. Ever again.

The "creator economy" happens to be the perfect environment for ADHD brains to thrive.
It's an ideal situation.
🧵👇
People with ADHD are naturally motivated by things needed to succeed as a creator.
Most brains are motivated by: importance, rewards, and consequences.
ADHD brains are motivated by: interest, novelty, challenge, and urgency.
Many creators have ADHD and don't even know it.
Experts estimate 75-90% of adults with ADHD are undiagnosed, so these creators may think their brain is "a little weird" or they "just have family quirks" without knowing the truth.
You are afraid your ideas will be stolen, or that you will look foolish. You don’t realize it, but have let fear take control of the steering wheel.
Don’t be driven by your fear.
Here are 5 reasons you should be building in public.
🧵👇
1. Build trust
Because you share your failures, you show your audience that you are an open book and aren’t just trying to sell them.
2. Build your status
Because you share your process, people will associate your name with someone that builds products. When an expert in the field is needed, your name will be top of mind.
