Papers, Piles, and ADD

Do I need to say anything more? You already know, don’t you?

Do you have a stack of papers somewhere, a pile here and there? What’s in there that’s important? How about overdue bills?

Papers and piles are some of the biggest things that people with ADD struggle with. So many of the papers we get are important and we don’t want to lose them, so we leave them out so we can see them and remember.

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.

Managing Your Life with ADHD

Lately I’ve been in a creative fever, turning out one thing after another.

Tonight, it’s a new E-book called Managing Your Life with ADHD - Ten Strategies for Organizing Your Time, Your Stuff and Your Life.

This is a completely new book with new material that I wrote today. It has all my best ideas and things that I do to keep my life running smoothly most of the time.

Don’t Copy Me

Last night, at ADD Student, I wrote about giving advice that I don’t listen to myself.

This morning, as I was getting ready for the day, I took a look at my to do list on my cool new iPod Touch. I had 14 things to do today. 14!

Have I mentioned that people with Attention Deficit Disorder tend to overestimate what they can do, and underestimate how long it will take?

Control

Are you a control freak? Do you feel that you are in control of your life most of the time? Does it make you crazy when you lose control or people throw a wrench into your plans? Have there been times when you thought you were in control, only to discover you weren’t?
