Setting Goals

by Brenda on June 14, 2010

Setting goals is the most effective way of achieving what you want in life.

We all know that, right?

So why do so many of us ADDers seem to flounder and drift through our days with not much to show for them?

For a long time, I thought that setting goals was a left brained activity meant for those with logical, orderly minds. You know those people – they do everything in the proper order, always know where things are and are never late.

It’s easy to blame Attention Deficit Disorder when that happens, and actually it’s a pretty valid excuse.
