ADHD Corner – Category Guide
For Writers & Contributors
Use this guide to understand what each category means and what kind of content belongs here. ADHD Corner is not simply a place for coping tips, productivity hacks, or advice on how to “function better.” We want ideas, experiences, questions, stories, and perspectives that help us understand ADHD, recognize its strengths, rethink the way we live, question the systems around us, and imagine what could come next.
1. 🧠 Understand ADHD
What it means: This is where we begin: understanding ADHD itself. Explore the brain, behavior, emotions, experiences, history, diagnosis, and the many ways ADHD can appear in everyday life. The goal is not simply to label symptoms, but to help people understand themselves and the minds around them.
What to submit:
- Articles explaining ADHD, its traits, experiences, and different presentations
- Writing about the ADHD brain, attention, motivation, hyperfocus, time, emotions, and executive function
- Personal experiences that help readers recognize and understand ADHD
- Thoughtful discussions about ADHD myths, diagnosis, history, and everyday life
- Questions that encourage readers to look at ADHD from a deeper perspective
2. ⚡ ADHD Power
What it means: Understanding ADHD should not end with difficulties. This category explores the abilities, instincts, creativity, curiosity, intensity, adaptability, and different ways of thinking that can emerge from an ADHD mind. We are interested in discovering what becomes possible when people stop defining themselves only by their struggles.
What to submit:
- Stories about discovering and developing ADHD strengths
- Writing about creativity, curiosity, pattern recognition, hyperfocus, innovation, or unconventional thinking
- Experiences of succeeding because of a different way of thinking
- Ideas about turning natural strengths into meaningful work and purpose
- Honest perspectives on both the potential and limitations of ADHD strengths
3. ⚙️ Design Your Life
What it means: Not every person has to live according to the same blueprint. This category explores how we can design environments, routines, work, relationships, technology, and daily life around the way our minds actually work. The goal is not to force ourselves into someone else’s system, but to consciously build a life that fits.
What to submit:
- Ideas for designing a life around individual strengths and needs
- Experiments with routines, environments, work, relationships, or technology
- Alternative approaches to productivity, organization, and daily living
- Thoughts on independence, freedom, purpose, and personal systems
- Experiences of creating a life that works better instead of simply trying harder
4. 🌿 Live Naturally
What it means: Modern life has created enormous convenience, but convenience does not always mean well-being. This category explores our relationship with nature, natural rhythms, simplicity, environment, community, food, movement, rest, and the physical world around us. It asks what happens when we reconnect with things that human beings have lived alongside for most of our existence.
What to submit:
- Reflections on nature and its relationship with the human mind
- Experiences with simpler, slower, or more natural ways of living
- Writing about sleep, movement, food, outdoor life, natural environments, and digital overload
- Ideas around sustainable and low-stress living
- Questions about what modern life has given us—and what it may have taken away
5. 🎭 System Satire
What it means: Sometimes the systems we live inside are so strange that the best way to examine them is through humor. This category uses satire, irony, observation, and sharp commentary to expose the absurdities of modern life. The target is not individuals—it is the systems, habits, contradictions, and cultural behaviors we have collectively created.
What to submit:
- Satirical writing about work, education, technology, consumerism, bureaucracy, politics, social media, or modern life
- Humorous observations about the contradictions of society
- Fictional or creative pieces that expose absurd systems
- Sharp commentary that makes people laugh and then think
- Writing that asks, “Why do we accept this as normal?”
6. 🏛️ Rethink Civilization
What it means: This category zooms out from the individual and asks bigger questions about how humanity organizes itself. Civilization is not a law of nature. It is something humans have built, changed, and rebuilt throughout history. This category explores where our systems came from, what they produce, what they cost, and whether they still serve human beings.
What to submit:
- Essays about the history and evolution of human systems and civilization
- Questions about work, education, economics, cities, technology, politics, consumption, and social organization
- Comparisons between human nature and modern civilization
- Historical or philosophical perspectives on how societies change
- Ideas about what existing systems get right, what they get wrong, and what could be redesigned
7. 🚀 Create the Future
What it means: We don’t want to simply criticize the present. We want to imagine what comes next. This category is about possibilities: new communities, new forms of education, technology, work, sustainability, human development, and systems that could create a better future.
What to submit:
- Visions and ideas for the future
- Concepts for better communities, cities, education, workplaces, or technologies
- Ideas about AI, innovation, sustainability, and human development
- Thought experiments about how civilization could be redesigned
- Writing that moves beyond “what is” and asks “what could be?”
8. 📚 Book Reviews
What it means: Books can change the way people understand themselves and the world. This category explores books that connect with the ideas we care about—from ADHD, psychology, science, philosophy, nature, civilization, technology, and human development to books that challenge conventional thinking.
What to submit:
- Honest and thoughtful book reviews
- Critical analysis of books and their ideas
- Comparisons between related books
- Discussions of what a book gets right, gets wrong, or makes us question
- Reviews of books that offer meaningful ideas rather than simple summaries
