John Warkentin is a 4th generation grain farmer in Saskatchewan, Canada, a commercial real estate appraiser and develops rental apartments! John discusses how his hyperactivity created anxiety and interfered with his family life and experience. John redefined “productivity” in order to regain control of self-care and family life. John’s ADHD strength is the ability to hyperfocus to create solutions and ideas! Best line from John: “Working to look normal – is a WASTE of ENERGY!”
