If you/someone you love has ADD/ADHD - Congratulations! Welcome to the club! 🤝 Now, how to deal with your wonderful 🐒🧠?
STEP 1. Get A Good Map - Learn About ADHD [note: this is an ongoing project]
Step 1B: Learn by listening to PODCASTS 🎧
Who doesn’t love a good podcast? Okay, some people don’t get into them, but for many of us, it can actually be easier to get engaged by listening rather than reading. Plus, podcasts (and audiobooks) let you move - super-helpful for keeping those attentional circuits in the brain active. I like to listen while folding the laundry, weeding the yard, walking, making the bed, etc. etc. It’s one way to get through imbortant chores (important but boring).
But there’s crazy lots to listen to out there – how do you choose where to start? Suggestion – do a John Wooden and go for the fundamentals: Dr. Ari Tuckman’s ‘More Attention, Less Deficit’ series on understanding adult ADHD and Executive Functioning and success strategies. Originally done as a companion to his excellent book (same title), Dr. Tuckman lays out abstract ideas in an easy-to-grasp manner, with each short (8-12 minutes) episode building on the previous info, so be sure to start at the beginning with the initial episodes. BTW, he’s a guy with a dry sense of humor, so hang in if he seems less than entertaining at first. More Attention, Less Deficit, on iTunes, at adultadhdbook.com or simply search from your podcast app.
