I recently purchased a cool iPod Touch to replace both my PDA and my old iPod, and I love it!
You can put applications on it, like games, shopping lists, and my favorite - the to do list. I purchased a cool application that helps me keep track of what I need to do, when I need it done, and even lets me cross off items with a purple “crayon”. It’s from Appigo and you can find it here.
ADHD Lost and Found

The other day when I went to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver’s license, I had to bring a lot of different documents with me: my social security card, my old driver’s license, my birht certificate, and a bill with my name and current address on it.
If you had to come up with all of those documents on short notice, could you? Do you have a place where you keep important papers like birth certificates, marriage licenses, car titles, or divorce papers?
ADHD: A New Perspective
Do you have an ADD child?
What if, before that child was born, you were told by a Higher Power that your child had a brilliant, creative and inquisitive mind, capable of greatness? What if you knew you were raising the next Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci or Walt Disney?
What would you do differently than you have? How would you handle problems at school and poor grades? Do you think your child’s self esteem and self confidence would be higher?
ADHD and Procrastination

My birthday is this week, and that means that I need to renew my drivers license. I’ve been putting it off for way too long (I don’t want to say how long in case any law enforcement types are reading. Oh, it isn’t expired, just from another state.)
I had my reasons for putting it off, but really, they were more excuses than really valid reasons.
The Secret Life of ADHD

Do you keep secrets? I don’t mean the kind other people tell you; I mean the ones you try to keep people from finding out about you.
I think everyone has a secret or two, but I think that people with Attention Deficit Disorder have more than most. That’s because we spend our lives trying to pretend that we’re “normal” just like everybody else.
