Remove distractions from the room (especially a phone) and watch a foreign film with subtitles (that way you HAVE to pay attention).

I try to not look at phone when I watch stuff, if I do I have to skip back. I may need to keep fidgets near me while I watch! I reeeaaalllyyy have to have the energy to watch foreign things with subtitles, it’s a massive commitment for me because it requires so much of my concentration. Saying that, one of my favourite movies is The Intouchables.

It's a tough endeavor, not going to lie. I don't even have ADHD but just like a lot of folks, the phone can be a really easy distraction and I have to battle myself to not get distracted by it too much. Hang in there!
