3/06 Rick Green x DNA

We’re thrilled to welcome Rick Green — writer, comedian, and creator of the award-winning documentary ADD & Loving It?! — for an evening on what it really means to focus with an ADHD brain.

Rick brings years of lived experience and humor to the science of distraction, motivation, and executive function. He’ll share practical tools to help re-train attention systems, manage overwhelm, and work with your brain’s energy instead of against it.

Topics include:

• Why “just try harder” doesn’t work — and what does

• How dopamine drives attention, novelty-seeking, and burnout cycles

• Structuring your day to match focus rhythms (the science of “activation energy”)

• Environmental design for concentration: sound, light, movement, and sensory tools

• Rethinking procrastination, guilt, and self-criticism

• Q&A: How to sustain motivation in high-pressure academic settings

About the speaker:Rick Green is the founder of TotallyADD.com and has spoken internationally on ADHD, executive dysfunction, and creative focus. His talks blend humor with neuroscience, making complex ideas instantly usable.
