Resources
This is a growing collection of books, tools, apps, and resources that have personally shaped how I think about mindset, discipline, productivity, and personal growth. Everything listed here is something I've used, researched, or found genuinely valuable — not just something that looked good on a list. As Conquest Mindset grows, so will this page.
ADHD & Productivity
Focus, organization, time management, and productivity don't come naturally to everyone — and that's not a character flaw. These are the resources that have made the biggest difference in how I understand and work with my own brain.
Books
ADHD 2.0 — Edward Hallowell & John Ratey
This was the book I found when I decided to get serious about learning about ADHD. Things have never been the same since. If you're newly diagnosed — or suspect you might be — start here.
Reframe Your Brain — Scott Adams
This has nothing to do with ADHD specifically, but everything to do with training your brain to see situations differently. A genuine eye-opener for positivity and perspective. (Years before this book existed, I unknowingly and successfully used this exact technique to rethink leg training at the gym.)
Health & Wellness
Physical and mental health aren't separate — what you put in your body affects how your mind performs. These are the resources and supplements I've found worth exploring.
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate has been around since the 1980s. Most people know it for its physical benefits — muscle size, strength, and recovery. What's less talked about is the growing body of research around its cognitive benefits, including promising findings related to depression, Alzheimer's, overall cognitive function, and mental fatigue.
Can it help with ADHD? Possibly. The jury is still out. But here's why it's worth considering:
- Inexpensive and widely available
- One of the strongest safety records in all of sports nutrition
- Proven physical benefits already established
- Mental health research promising enough that serious researchers are paying attention
What's the recommended dosage? Standard fitness dose is 5g/day. Some depression studies suggest 8–10g/day, and certain cognition studies go as high as 20g or more. I've been taking creatine for years and have recently increased my intake to 10g/day. You'll need to decide what's right for you.
I personally prefer products using the Creapure® manufacturing process for its long-standing reputation for purity and quality control. This is the creatine I use and where I buy it.
Online Communities
Sometimes the most valuable resource is finding people who get it. These are the communities I've found worth being part of.
The genius of ADHD — Facebook Group
Between my ADHD diagnosis and the first book I read about it, Facebook decided I'd probably be interested in this group. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always poignant — this is where my journey to understanding my own ADHD began.
ADHD Explained — Facebook Group
Tends to be a little more serious than The genius of ADHD, but definitely worth checking out. A solid community for anyone looking to understand ADHD more deeply.
Recommended Tools & Apps
The Medito App — Meditation App
This is the mediation app that I've been using for years. I've tried other meditation apps and found they were either lacking, or there was a cost to being able to use the full app. This app is entirely free and I've barely even explored all there is to offer.
More resources are on the way. This page will grow as the brand does — and every addition will be something worth your time.
