Using Micro-Chunks to Manage ADHD

|
By Ryan Fan
| The Good Men Project Verified
As a 2:34 marathoner who now averages running 100 miles a week, these are some of the thoughts I have while running to get through each run. I have mental checkpoints of a visual barrier that I need to overcome. No matter how painful the run is, I can see something in front of me, like a school, a part of a sidewalk, a street crossing, a car that’s passing me. In that moment, I might not be able to get through the rest of the run, but at least I can get to that next checkpoint.

Pandas and China are closely affiliated. As a Chinese person, I associate the two, especially given the vast majority of the world’s 1,925 pandas are in China. However, for the first 26 years or so of my life, I never saw a panda. I lived in China when I was two to four years old, so if my grandparents brought me to see a panda at that time, I don’t remember. I also visited when I was eight and when I was 14 for the summer to see extended family.
