A Clean House and ADD

Last weekend, my husband mentioned to me that his father and brother were coming to visit this weekend.

In the past, that would have meant that, despite a week’s notice, I would have waited until today to begin cleaning. Cleaning would have involved a mad, frantic sweep through the house, throwing stuff in closets, and collecting trash bags full of stuff, and deciding which doors would have to stay closed all weekend.

Classic ADHD

Tomorrow my daughter and I leave for a short trip to Michigan. I’ve been avoiding the whole idea and reality of this trip for days now. Getting me to drive back to Michigan is like pulling teeth.

Getting Things Done with ADD

How do you plan your day? Do you start each day knowing what you have to do and when you will do it? Do you always do the most important things first?

Time Management with ADHD

Surely it’s no secret that those of us with Attention Deficit Disorder have trouble managing time. For us, time is a very elastic thing that expands or contracts depending on what we’re doing. Add in the fact that we have trouble remembering things and finding things, and you can see how important the right time management system can be.

ADD Moms Podcast

I’m starting to enjoy recording audios for this site. Since this isn’t Tuesday, I decided to record something slightly longer and call it a podcast. As you can see, I have a player now, and if all goes well, I will be listed on the podcasts in iTunes soon. Even though this is a short post, the player doesn’t show up unless you click to read the entire post - just in case you were wondering.
