Focusing on a one-hour math lecture was torture enough for my ADHD brain, let alone concentrating on a boring meeting for four hours straight! To get out of this situation or rather the awkwardness of the moment when I’m asked for my opinions, I found solace in doing neat pen tricks. Under the desk, of course! While on the upside, you don’t have to make an excuse to take a pen with you inside a conference room, the problem with pens is that they fall – a lot!
However, to my surprise, I found excellent substitutes for pens for curing my attention issues – fidget toys! Yes, fidget toys are a great way to keep your mind focused in the right way. What’s more? They’re sneaky! You can easily carry fidget toys hidden inside your pockets, a win-win situation for sure…
As with any other toy/thing, there are several fidget toys for adults in the market – all claiming to be more effective than the other. Some even claim to help with Autism, ADHD, concentration, and a plethora of issues. However, unfortunately, most fidget toys fail to perform well. I have compiled a list of the 6 best and most addictive fidget toys for adults. Before we proceed to the list, let me tell you how I judged the fidget toy for you…
The Factors I Took Into Consideration Before Buying A Fidget Toy
Impression
What kind of impression did the fidget toy give to another person? Did it seem too childish or did it look like something classy, cool, and adult-like? I preferred the ones that seemed adult-like so that I could carry them anywhere.
Concentration
Did it help me to concentrate? Was it just a mindless distraction? Most fidget toys claim that they help you with ADHD, Autism, etc. However, only some of them help you with keeping your attention focused.
Portability
How portable was the fidget toy? Was it sneaky? I preferred the ones that were easy to carry anywhere and fit into my pocket or inside/under a file or notebook! The smaller the fidget toy, the better.
Convenience
How convenient was the fidget toy? Was I able to handle it or play with it single-handedly? I went with the fidget toys that were convenient to use, the ones that I could fidget with my non-dominant hand (left-hand) as well.
