Living successfully with ADD/ADHD involves doing lots of different things which fall, more or less, into 4 categories, like steps. You don't have to do everything, and certainly not all at the same time. It's a process, a kind of dance where you start with basic steps, repeating them and getting better with practice as time goes on.

The steps?
​
Step 1: Get A Good Map - Learn About ADHD

​Step 2: Get Effective Treatment

​Step 3: Create a 'Prosthetic Environment'

​Step 4: Cultivate an ADHD Friendly Lifestyle & Mindset

Let's go dancing!

    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?
