Links to buy Extra Focus
I wrote Extra Focus to be an ADHD starting guide that people with ADHD can actually read. The book is full of beautiful illustrations and has over 40 strategies specifically tailored for the ADHD brain.
It’s for anyone that wants to better understand how and why the ADHD brain works differently, and what you can do about it to embrace those brain differences and stop trying to force toxic productivity strategies that don’t work.
Here are a few things some people have said about Extra Focus:
Extra Focus is an entertaining and incredibly easy read, with no unnecessary repetition for the sake of extra pages. Just concise information and practical tips, sprinkled with tons of relatable ‘ohhhh, it’s not just me!’ moments.
— Dani Donovan (The Anti-Planner)
“Jesse’s quick start guide is a fantastic place to start for anyone looking to better understand their—or a loved one’s—ADHD.”

I’ve been waiting for Jesse Anderson to get all his ideas down in a book. His newsletter and tweets have improved my life so much. He gets the ADHD brain better than anyone I’ve seen and offers usable, smart tools and the context to make me interested in them.

Extra Focus is a compelling read for those who have wondered why they just can’t focus the way other people can. Packed with strategies, anecdotes and revelations, it’s a must-read on the topic.
— Anna David (New York Times bestselling author)
Critical insights on ADHD and actionable strategies to deal with it. Wonderfully describes and simplifies the concept.

Podcasts
I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Michele on her podcast Software Social about living with ADHD, how I was able to finish writing my book despite falling into the “trough of despair”, and lots of other thoughts about entrepreneurship with ADHD.
It was such a fun conversation, you should definitely check it out!

Black Friday Sale + ADHD Course Bonus
Great book Jesse! I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until my late 50’s😱Years of thinking I was a space cadet, forgot a lot and crazy over reaction/over thinking made some sense!! Your book is so good at identifying and explaining the ADHD brain together with helpful tricks to get through stuff. Thank you😊
Pg 36 "We aren't looking for a strategy that is going to **solve** doing the dishes. We are just looking for potential strategies that work for the current moment."
This sparked a connection to the idea of Polarities.

Some things aren't Problems to be Solved, but Polarities to be Managed.
