Life vs. ADD Symptoms

Lately I’ve been writing a lot about balance, and making your life easier, and also telling you how mine has sort of been out of control lately.

My ADD symptoms have really made themselves known in the past week or so. For instance, it’s almost midnight and I just remembered I was supposed to go to the bank today to get money for my husband. Oops.

ADD - Taking It Slow

Have you ever done one of those pie chart exercises, where you’re supposed to put in all the things in your life, like work, family, me time, exercise, etc? You know how they’re all supposed to be about the same, so that you’re living a “balanced” life? Ha!

First of all, everyone knows you live most of your life at work, so already the pie is out of whack. Everything else has to get crammed into what’s left.

Mind Maps and ADHD

Recently I wrote a post about being able to focus and prioritize your projects, something none of us are good at.

At the time, I suggested that one way might be to make a list and then break it down into smaller steps.

While I still think that it’s a great idea, it’s not something that’s so easy to do.

You see, making a list is a linear, left brained activity.

Focusing on ADHD

There has been a lot of conversation lately among my internet friends about focus, procrastination, and productivity - all things people with Attention Deficit Disorder can relate to. Well, maybe lack of focus.

Anyway, the past four days I have been in a focused zone, working hard to create and introduce some new products.

Today I’ve been spinning my wheels, trying to figure out what to do next. I’ve completely lost my direction and sense of momentum.

Procrastination and Productivity

Jan Ferrante wrote a great guest article on procrastination and productivity today. Though it’s not specific to Attention Deficit Disorder, it’s certainly relevant. You can find it here.
