I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too.

When I was young, I went to every single show that came through my hometown.
Moving to Chicago for college, I went as often as there were bands I recognized , about three times a month.
Once I became a parent that shot downhill fast, to something like once every two months. I began to work nights and could almost never go. I’m back to a first shift schedule now and excited to start hitting the scene again, even if I’m too fat for the moshpit these days.
I measure my productivity in how much art I create and how good a vibe I cultivate.
I suppose I could condense that into “how much beauty I bring to the world”.
Your opinion is unpopular because it’s clear you don’t know what ADHD is. It’s not just “trouble concentrating”. It’s not even primarily that. It’s a slew of issues, physical, mental, and emotional.
Depends how you do it. But I can tell you three things it does for me:
Allows me to detach from myself and sort of Alt-F4 a lot of those background processes that are churning up my anxiety and wasting my emotional energy.
Lets me bank some calm that I can withdraw later in emergencies.
Helps me practice shutting out distractions to focus on a single stimulus, eg. when someone is talking or when I need to watch something over a period of time.
