One minute through the first video, this is amazing! I wonder what else is on youtube...

I lasted 30 seconds. Bookmarked it, and will never have a look at it again.

Tape it to the fridge.

No joke I'm literally doing this with "History of the world i guess" right now. Maybe I'll watch it a few mins from now, but it's been on that list since it came out. Not sure what I'm waiting for. I loved the first one and all that Bill Wurtz has done. Maybe I want to preserve it because when I watch it that'll be it. Maybe I'm afraid it won't be as good. Maybe I'm torn between redditing, finishing work for a potential client, self-indulging in creating music only I want, and sleeping. Or maybe just depressed. Anyway I should go watch that.

Edit: Didn't watch it. Going to bed.

Shit, some fridges have tablets built in now

the guy is a great speaker, better than most of the stuff on netflix imo

I lasted 30 seconds.

Depending on the streaming site, this sentence has very different meanings.

u/conquer69 May 30 '17

I can relate. That's why I have like 300 bookmarks and 300 unloaded tabs on firefox. The browser was slow as hell.

So I just downloaded Chrome instead but the bookmarks are piling up. Already got Opera ready just in case.

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

Jeez. It isn't that bad over here. Close some damn tabs man!

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

Haha too true!

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

Fuck man. Me too.

u/discourge May 30 '17

I'm a bit different on this one. I am genuinely curious about my disorder so sitting through that one video was a delight. The proceeding videos, however, well... those will definitely be watched later.

u/ferxous May 30 '17

naww this si confusing and boring

u/[deleted] May 30 '17

I watched the one you posted but than when I started watching the second one I got distracted even though it was really interesting.

u/scuczu May 31 '17

Adding it to my read later last from 2004

u/squidnebula May 31 '17

I haven't even watched the video yet. I got pulled into the comments.

u/caffeine_lights May 31 '17

Download it as audio, put it on your phone, or in your car. Listen while driving, running, or cleaning. Only way I get through things like this.

u/[deleted] May 31 '17

Damnit. Why haven't I thought about this... I literally been sitting the park the last three hours spacing out on clouds while listening to LBC.

u/goatonastik May 31 '17

This guy ADDs

u/quantasmm May 30 '17

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

u/glorioussideboob May 30 '17

Watched the first video and disagree. How can he say that it's only delay? There are archetypal traits in ADHD that you simply will not find (or won't find to the same degree) in most people of any age.

u/sweetalkersweetalker May 30 '17

Stuff! Glorious glorious Stuff!

And nonsense...

u/peterquest May 30 '17

It'd be really good for me if I watched this!

u/EfYouSeeKayYou May 30 '17

Oh I'll definitely get to it. Just have to watch one more cat video!

u/XxAVG_JOExX May 30 '17

I'll do it later...

u/yeoller May 30 '17

I just taped it to the fridge.

u/XxAVG_JOExX May 30 '17

FYI. I just finished watching it. Instead of waiting, I listened to all of it. This guy cares a lot about ADHD, or at least he pretends to. I learned too much today. Time for a nap.

u/crwilso6 May 30 '17

You'll probably watch it because you know you have more important things you're putting off that you need to start.

u/conquer69 May 30 '17

I opened up a game and left the video playing on the background.

u/thatserver May 31 '17

Putting off going for a run as we speak.

u/gigabored May 30 '17

Adds to watch list... keeps putting off... eventually

1

u/P-01S May 30 '17

I gave up on adding things to my "plan to watch" list at some point... I just add channel subscriptions. Later on, I'll probably wind up going through all of the channel's videos if I'm interested.

u/Caladrea May 30 '17

Beautiful. I have issues with people not understanding, and I still don't understand most of it myself. I was diagnosed as an adult, so most of the time I just think it's a personality problem that I can't fix no matter how hard I try. Which then makes me think I'm a disfunctional adult, and suck at life.

Edit: Fuck now I completely forgot what I was working on... And that's not just a joke I literally have no idea where I left off.

u/CitizenPremier May 30 '17

later, though...

u/sonicon May 30 '17

Good job, immediately I thought of loading up overwatch. Then I said to myself at least I will reply about this thought process. Now I'm hoping this reply will remind me to watch the videos later.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '17

I finally got around to watching this after having it opened in a chrome tab for the last 13 days :$ ... and then subsequently spent the next 13 minutes internally debating the right emoticon to depict my feelings (－‸ლ)

u/reigorius May 30 '17

Any tips or tricks in the vids to cope with ADHD/ADD?

1

u/Fagamuff1n May 30 '17

No you wont

OP Did not come through.

u/RunnySpoon May 30 '17

I'm going to put a note on my fridge to watch this later

u/uniqname99 May 30 '17

And here I stopped the original video half way even though it was pretty much describing me...
