6 Fundamental Strategies For Managing ADHD

8/25/2021

0 Comments

 
From a talk by Ari Tuckman, PhD, a truly good explainer. 
There are six fundamental strategies that underlie all the ‘how-to manage’ lists:
  1. Reduce extraneous stimuli – limit your exposure to distractions
  2. Amplify relevant stimuli – keep the important stuff in front of you
  3. Seek out situations that allow safe expression of hyperactivity
  4. Minimize situations that require more restraint than you can muster
  5. Create barriers to problematic actions by reducing tempting stimuli
  6. Set up cushions to reduce the damage done from impulsive acts

    Welcome to my very occasional blog:
    ​Productive Distractions

    Since we all get distracted (some of us more than others), let's make it useful.

    However, just in case, are you one of those people who can fall down the rabbit hole and lose hours online? 

    If so, welcome, fellow traveler! 

    Now, do yourself a favor. 

    Right now, before you do anything else, grab a sticky note & write down what you're looking for, or how long you're going to spend, or what it is that you're really supposed to be doing.  

    Next, note the time you will stop and get back on task - write big numbers! 
    ​
    Stick the note on the screen. Set a timer.
    ​  
    Keep your promise.  :)


    Like my point of view? Great!
    Want to talk?
    ​Even better! 

    Ready to move forward towards living with meaning & satisfaction?
    Like what you see here?
