ADHD Startups Are Exploding, and Now There's Even a Dedicated Browser (techcrunch.com) 98
Mike Butcher writes via TechCrunch: SidekickWas it the pandemic? Did everyone follow too many ADHD TikTokers? Have smartphones fried our brains? Whatever the case, there is a boom in ADHD tech solutions, from online drug deliveries to web sites and apps. [...] Now there is a Sidekick, who's pitch is that it's a "productivity browser." Today it's launching a host of features geared to ADHD sufferers and the attention distracted more generally. The company claims users with ADHD noticed a "significant improvement" after using the browser. The Chromium-based browser was founded by Dmitry Pushkarev (a Stanford PhD in Molecular Biology, ex-Amazon exec and ADHDer).
So how does it work? To nullify distractions, the browser incorporates AdBlock 2.0; a Focus Mode Timer disables all sounds, badges and notifications for a selected time or indefinitely; a Task Manager organizes your day; and there's a built-in Pomodoro timer; it also claims to run 3x faster than Chrome, which, apparently, is important for ADHD sufferers. Suffice it to say, it has a number of other distraction-killing features; however, I'm not going to list them all here.
CEO and founder Dmitry Pushkarev said, in a statement, "Modern browsers are not designed for work, but for consuming web pages. This gap really hurts hundreds of millions of users. We are convinced that lowering web distraction reduces anxiety and increases the quality of people's work and the quality of their lives." He says the startup plans to make money via corporate subscribers, who will pay to get their ADHD-afflicted workers into a more productive mode.

It's a real thing, and a pain in the ass at that. Basically, there are certain tasks that your brain will simply refuse to stay focused on and you'll get these nagging feelings there are other things you should be doing instead. Non-ADD/ADHD people might see it as goofing off, but to someone with ADD/ADHD, it is absolutely essential that those other tasks are prioritized.

It runs in my family, so I've read up on a lot of this, so ... let's break this down:
The typical profile of someone with ADHD: addicted to soft drinks or energy drinks,
This is often to give energy, and focus, caffine helps a great deal with focus, which those with ADHD often struggle with.
diet high in refined sugar, processed oils and grains,
Again, energy to help focus, sugar especially use useful for dealing with mental exhaustion with focus, trying to do things you have trouble with. Over the course of the day, people with ADHD can focus intently, but rely on external factors to keep them going, sugar, oils, and grains can serve as both self sustaining mental rewards, as well as a way to get energy back up fast.
low quality and low quantity of sleep,
Part of ADHD is spending a large amount of time trying to do things, but being unable to focus, times especially are lost, something has to be physically present. Getting tired? That's not even something someone with ADHD notices. They notice the clock, and realize, oh no, it's 4am, where did the time go? Throw in that there''s a growing body of evidence that people with ADHD just naturally stay up later, and are not early risers, and you have a recipe for lack of sleep
zero exercise,
Unless provided with external reminders to exercise, people with ADHD wont, they need external reminders, routines, and times to do things. Anything, even take care of themselves.
continuous and obsessive phone and/or PC screen in their face.
Again, things that grab interest, and grab attention. People with ADHD are easily drawn into the click / reward life cycle. Gambling, video games, things that release endorphins are what draw them in. Whatever gives stimulus, that's the point. You can't even make yourself do what you want to do, that's the worst part.
Sound familiar? The typical ADHD sufferer will do anything BUT change their behavior and lifestyle
Of course, the lifestyle is due to lack of focus, lack of being able to focus. Without focus, you can't even focus enough to make your life style change. Now, those with ADHD often compensate. Typically you end up with severe anxiety, due to lack of sense of time, paranoia, showing up drastically early to things, often hours ahead of time so you aren't late. Post-it notes everywhere giving visual cues on what to do, things set out so you see them, because you wont remember later. No future, no past, only now.
- the more prescription meds the better.
Which give focus, so yes. Sadly, most of the meds that do are also highly addictive, so are highly scheduled. Funnily, there's a running joke that ADHD people forget their medication. Highly addictive hard to quit medication? Someone with ADHD wont remember to take it, because the didn't have things setup to have it. That's the fun. Dr. Russel Barkley did a great lecture on ADHD [youtube.com] awhile back, which is very much worth a watch on the subject.
I doubt I'll convince you of anything, but it's a shock learning as you get older that most people can think "I am doing this later" and don't need to write it down, stick it on a postit, and put it on the door so they don't forget an hour later.

However, I do not believe that ADHD is a "disorder" in the usual sense. I'm pretty much 100% in the Hartmann research camp that assumes that ADHD basically is a low-percentage cognitive predisposition that was passed down from humans who settled very late in human history. This is palpable day in and day out for someone like me. For us a minimalist / untouched nature / low-sensory-load-environment lifestyle, Paleo diet, sugar avoidance and daily cardio maxing isn't just beneficial, it's an absolute must to maintain baseline sanity.
ADHD sure is no picknick and can be living hell and push you to the brink of suicide, especially if you don't know what's "wrong" with you, but it also has notable benefits: Hyperfocus, strong survival skills, a strong sense for energy preservation and a quasi-magical sense for low-hanging fruit and easy prey. All these are ultra-high-performer traits in hunter-gatherer societies and also have you functioning super-chill in high-stress and dangerous situations.

She is happier that way and I can totally relate and give her my fullest support, because seeing her grow up in her teens and sensing the kognitive dissonance she was feeling just as I felt when I was moving into my mid-teens was one of the last instances of clues that I needed to see. Yeah, this sure as hell runs in our family and came from both my grandmothers side (mother) and from my father and it also sure as hell isn't just some epigenetic trans-generational WW2 trauma that's being passed on by a bona-fide functional disposition.
If you are in this camp you will most definitely *not* live a "usual" life and if you have no other perspective than judging yourself by not being able to, that's a surefire ticket to chronic anxiety, depression and suicide/early death.
