What Is AuDHD Inertia? The 3 ways I changed my life (MUST SEE) · Aspergers & Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] AuDHD

• 0:00
  You have arrived. Welcome to the Aspy world.
• 0:04
  Here's where we talk about anything and everything ASD in
• 0:07
  an upbeat and informative way. And now here's your man on the
• 0:11
  spectrum, your autism ambassador, Daniel Morgan Jones.
• 0:19
  Oh, good morning, everybody. I'm talking about autism
• 0:22
  inertia. Like what is autism inertia and
• 0:25
  what are the things that helps us overcome inertia so we can
• 0:28
  actually get things done in our day?
• 0:41
  By the way, my girlfriend's a dentist, so she's like doing
• 0:44
  stuff. This is a noisy machine, no bid.
• 0:47
  OK, so a little prerequisite to what auto inertia is.
• 0:51
  Basically, inertia is when you like want to do something but
• 0:54
  you have no ability to do it because you just kind of the
• 0:57
  feeling of I have so many things on my To Do List, how can I even
• 1:00
  start doing one? But I have so many to do and
• 1:03
  then I end up doing none at all. But this comes from Newton's
• 1:06
  laws of motion. An object in motion can't just
• 1:09
  suddenly stop, deviate or turn or whatever.
• 1:13
  It's on a path, right? And the same can be said for
• 1:14
  autistic people in reverse of that, an object that is not in
• 1:18
  motion, we're not doing something, we're not completing
• 1:20
  tasks. It will also not be able for us
• 1:22
  to start the task because we're not currently going.
• 1:25
  This is inertia. So how do we overcome inertia?
• 1:29
  How do we get over it? I have 3 or 4 actually proven
• 1:32
  ways that I personally do it, but I also have an insight from
• 1:34
  my girlfriend because she has some amazing insight into how
• 1:36
  she deals with the inertia at being an audio HD person
• 1:39
  herself. So I was saying about how
• 1:41
  inertia kind of impacts your ability to be motivated to start
• 1:44
  doing things. And I was talking to Fabia
• 1:46
  earlier about this exact thing. And you said, hey, there's one
• 1:50
  thing that I've used that I used to help get out of inertia.
• 1:53
  Now this is interesting because I was like, whoa, this is so
• 1:56
  interesting, especially for like the girls in my orders, right?
• 1:59
  So what? What were you saying about the
• 2:00
  makeup thing? To me, it really helps when I do
• 2:03
  my makeup in the morning. I noticed that I do a lot more
• 2:06
  things, like I get a lot more done if I had done my makeup in
• 2:10
  the morning. Yeah, it's kind of like the when
• 2:12
  you like make your bed, right. This is one of the things that
• 2:14
  the dopamine list, like if you're taking things off your
• 2:17
  list of things to do, you get more motivated to do more, which
• 2:20
  is really interesting because if you do nothing, you you stay and
• 2:23
  motivated. But when you're starting
• 2:24
  something. And it's like it's not about the
• 2:27
  makeup itself. It's just like the first step,
• 2:30
  you know, getting ready this, then my day can be more
• 2:34
  productive. It's true.
• 2:35
  And I took inspiration from Mark Zuckerberg on something very
• 2:38
  similar where I prepare my clothes the night before.
• 2:40
  This is kind of like, this is not one of the main things I was
• 2:42
  going to talk about on this, but you just reminded me about it.
• 2:44
  Where like if I get up and I have to like, worry about what
• 2:47
  clothes I'm going to wear always freaks me out.
• 2:49
  I'm like, oh, yeah. And then it's it stops getting
• 2:51
  like productive. It starts getting kind of messy.
• 2:54
  So I'm like, oh, so if I like lay the clothes out and say I'm
• 2:56
  going to wear this tomorrow, that's a lot easier.
• 2:58
  So much easier. Yeah.
• 3:00
  And it's like you've just completed one thing on your
• 3:01
  list. This is really good because like
• 3:03
  you were saying, as soon as you do one thing, you go, OK, now
• 3:06
  I'm in the mode. Yeah, what's next?
• 3:08
  Like, how can I attack the rest of the day?
• 3:09
  Super important. And so it's kind of like a state
• 3:11
  of mind. So first thing you do when you
• 3:12
  get up, if you're not going to put makeup on, so I don't put
• 3:14
  makeup on, whatever, you go like shower.
• 3:16
  Yeah, like shower or do your bed or lay your clothes off.
• 3:19
  So you know what you're doing. You have to take off that one
• 3:21
  thing on your. Legs off, pajamas like.
• 3:23
  Oh, like changing? Changing.
• 3:25
  Yeah, that is true because they're not.
• 3:27
  It's kind of like the the work mode thing.
• 3:29
  You know when you put like a suit and tie, you're in a
• 3:31
  professional mode library for unlike shorts and AT shirt
• 3:34
  getting kind of like lounge mode.
• 3:35
  Yeah, more relaxed. Yeah, and you've got to be like
• 3:38
  as soon as you, but it's tasking you like you go.
• 3:40
  OK task. Awesome stuff.
• 3:42
  She's babe, you're babe. What is it you like about
• 3:45
  dentistry? One thing, your professionalism,
• 3:50
  that is your profession. Perfection.
• 3:52
  Oh, perfectionism. Yeah.
• 3:55
  Like your. Yeah, that's for me.
• 3:57
  Yeah. But it's also kind of like
• 3:58
  attention to detail, right? Yeah.
• 4:00
  Far as also a scientist. I'm a scientist.
• 4:01
  We love the detail. We love data and love science.
• 4:05
  What are you preparing for? I'm preparing a tray to do an
• 4:08
  amalgam filling. That's fine.
• 4:13
  Oh, weird mouth thing. Look at this.
• 4:16
  Oh, is this a dead person's mouth?
• 4:20
  No, I'm joking. It's not.
• 4:21
  It's plastic. Oh, is it plastic?
• 4:22
  All right, What is it? This is silicone.
• 4:24
  Oh, silicone plastic. Oh, OK.
• 4:26
  And ceramic. No, it's a resin again.
• 4:29
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 4:30
  Very good. Interesting and this is there's
• 4:33
  like standard stuff, right? For like this is not just
• 4:35
  practice stuff. This is like we use this in a in
• 4:37
  a actual clinical setting, right?
• 4:40
  Amazing. All right, so back to inertia.
• 4:42
  See this is it. If you had really bad inertia in
• 4:44
  the morning, there's no way you'll be able to get into a
• 4:46
  clinic and stop doing teeth, right?
• 4:47
  Because you'd be like, oh damn. So you've got to kind of like
• 4:49
  stay active, get those things going right.
• 4:52
  I'm going to tell you now about the protocol.
• 4:54
  The protocol's really interesting and this is kind of
• 4:56
  like the key for overcoming inertia kind of in general.
• 4:59
  The whole thing, all these little things are deaf, but this
• 5:01
  is super interesting because it's real life.
• 5:04
  Look, this is inertia one O 1 Fabio's currently putting
• 5:06
  together the floor lamp and this is me.
• 5:09
  I mean that Tim horton's done so when in Canada, it's Tim
• 5:13
  horton's rules, right? Like we've got to do it, but
• 5:16
  this thing actually has apple in Oh, I'll drop a box anyway.
• 5:20
  This thing, this apple Fritzer actually has apple in it.
• 5:22
  Very see look working hard, very demure.
• 5:26
  All right back to it. Also, you guys remember this
• 5:29
  shirt from the the the video we did?
• 5:31
  If you don't know, I'll put a cup of it here, OK, And this was
• 5:38
  the setting of the box breakdown video and look at the slippers.
• 5:46
  Yay. OK, and now we're done with the
• 5:49
  the craziness and hanging out eating Donuts.
• 5:51
  OK, so number one thing that I love to do to help myself get
• 5:55
  things done is the protocol I call is the getting things done
• 5:59
  protocol. OK, and this is going to Rock
• 6:00
  You out of inertia. And how it works is very simple.
• 6:03
  You have one piece of white paper and then you write down
• 6:07
  all the things that you need to complete.
• 6:09
  It could be life goals, it could be smaller things, it could be
• 6:11
  daily tasks, it could be whatever it is all the things
• 6:13
  that you need to get done stopping you from actually
• 6:16
  getting them done. Write all the things down in one
• 6:18
  big list. Two things happen. 1 You realize
• 6:21
  that there's not that many things, so the whole inertia
• 6:25
  thing is kind of off the mind of a matter, but also you start
• 6:28
  writing those things down. You're already at the moment
• 6:31
  inertia because you started a list.
• 6:33
  OK, take the first one, move it to a separate piece of paper.
• 6:37
  So on the list of things you need to do, find the first one
• 6:40
  that you want to attack. The thing that you think.
• 6:42
  Look, if I got rid of this, I feel so happier.
• 6:44
  Get that Put also a new piece of paper right at the top.
• 6:47
  Write a completion date. So you need to get done by
• 6:50
  whatever date, then list out all the steps in which you need to
• 6:54
  take to create that specific goal.
• 6:58
  So if it's needing to clean the house, right, the clean the
• 7:01
  house needs to be done within the next 24 hours.
• 7:03
  All the things need to be done. I need to wash the kitchen,
• 7:05
  Hoover the carpet and clean the couch, clean the bedrooms, wash
• 7:10
  the toilets and suit the floor. Boom.
• 7:11
  Go through each one of these things incrementally.
• 7:14
  Now there is a tip though. Bigger, larger goals, try to
• 7:17
  complete them in a longer space of time.
• 7:19
  Give yourself enough time, but also put down like, oh, today
• 7:23
  I'm just going to do one goal. So say you want to learn how to
• 7:26
  drive. That's the big goal, right?
• 7:28
  So then you say, OK, so the first actual step is booking a
• 7:31
  driving instructor, right? Or looking for a driver
• 7:33
  instructor. Just do that, that one day.
• 7:35
  So that's all you need to do. Because when you start to
• 7:37
  complete these, just like me and Flavio were saying, you get
• 7:39
  these dopamine hits where you're like taking things off your
• 7:41
  list. OK, so reminders and taking
• 7:45
  action like one of the things I can't live without my iPhone.
• 7:48
  I have an iPhone, an iPad, and I have MacBook and it all sinks
• 7:52
  together nice in a little ecosystem like the Apple
• 7:54
  ecosystem. And I know if you understand
• 7:56
  this, you know what I'm talking about.
• 7:57
  Now, having the Apple ecosystem allows me to do something quite
• 8:02
  magical. I can tell my Siri to remind me
• 8:05
  to do something, right? And when that buzzer comes on
• 8:08
  saying like, hey Dan, do this. I do it then and there.
• 8:10
  So it says like, hey Dan, you've got to phone the doctor to book
• 8:13
  an X-ray for somebody. OK, I'll do it right now.
• 8:15
  So do the reminder, but take the action when it comes in.
• 8:18
  You're going to realize you're going to get so many things done
• 8:21
  and you won't even worry about inertia.
• 8:23
  The last thing I have you on, inertia is something that I've
• 8:25
  used, I think maybe for about two or three years now I've been
• 8:28
  doing this. Now this is a small daily
• 8:29
  journal and I mean, you can have any journal you want, right?
• 8:33
  But this one's nice because if it's in your pocket, you take it
• 8:34
  anywhere. At the end of the day, I write
• 8:36
  down my thoughts and the things that I need to complete the day
• 8:38
  after, or maybe the things that I've completed today because I
• 8:41
  want to see the progress and improvement of what I'm doing.
• 8:43
  Now. What's really interesting about
• 8:44
  this is it healthy clutter your mind, but it also allows you to
• 8:48
  create task lists, lists so that you can move forward with haste.
• 8:53
  Now I'm driving now you can you can move forward and make sure
• 8:56
  that you're kind of completing the things that you want to
• 8:58
  complete in a in a good space of time.
• 9:00
  Now I'll leave a link for these little pieces.
• 9:02
  I've got these on Amazon. They're super cheap.
• 9:04
  I'll leave a link from down below.
• 9:05
  But one of the things that Flavi and I was talking about when we
• 9:08
  were building the desk, as you saw is how a lot of the time I
• 9:11
  look for other people to motivate me to be inspired, to
• 9:14
  do things to to be motivated. And a lot of people miss this
• 9:17
  and maybe they don't have something they can rely on or
• 9:19
  motivate them. Sometimes it's your dab, your
• 9:20
  best friend, your wife, your partner, whatever.
• 9:23
  Now, if you are missing this and you want to you know somebody to
• 9:28
  be there as you're spot, you're motivated.
• 9:29
  I am a highly motivated person and I love doing one-on-one
• 9:32
  consultations with all my fans from different areas of the
• 9:36
  world. We do one-on-one consultations.
• 9:38
  I love it. I help people in business,
• 9:40
  relationships, life management, just coaching them so that they
• 9:45
  as autistic individuals can feel empowered, understand their
• 9:47
  power and move forward in time to the things that they want to
• 9:50
  do that urges them towards existence.
• 9:52
  Now I would love to do this. So if you want me to be your
• 9:54
  personal coach, so motivate you to do things like this, go down
• 9:58
  below there'll be a link where you can book me.
