Shifting Into Work ModeI don’t know if it’s the ADHD, but I’m having a hard time transitioning back into work mode after only two days off.
I’ve been back at work two days so far – but I wish I was still on vacation!
I don’t know if it’s the ADHD, if it’s just me, or if it happens to everyone, but I’m having such a hard time transitioning back into work mode after only two days off. Since I had Friday and Monday off, the vacation felt like four days to me...

Surprise Family VacationNothing refreshes and regroups all the ADHDers in our family better than a surprise family vacation.
I just got back from the best weekend ever! I went on a four-day surprise vacation with my family to a gorgeous resort cabin in Maine. The location was a surprise until we arrived; I was told to ask for Friday and Monday off and that it was about four hours away by car.
I’ve been anticipating this weekend for a few weeks now, asking...

ADHD KnittingStaying committed to one project for months is just too much to ask for a person with ADHD.
Along with relaxation, this weekend also brought back a hobby I had neglected since last winter. Knitting. I used to love knitting; especially when I lived at college and needed a break from studying. I would sit in my favorite chair, put on a movie, and not look up from my knitting until the end credits.
Knitting is so soothing; the click of the needles,...

The ADHD VoterCan somebody please just tell me the truth? I find it impossible to sort through all this political jibberjabber.
Today I am officially a responsible citizen. I registered to vote! OK, so the last day to register was today, and true to my ADHD-self I screamed in there at the last minute license in hand, ready to become a voting citizen. As I contemplated which party I should register as I was reminded that this is a serious decision and I shouldn’t just check off...

Incomplete ProjectsTypical of ADHD, I had so much energy and motivation until the job got boring and I quickly lost interest.
This weekend I was planning to take all my winter clothes out of the basement and put all my summer clothes away until spring. I know this is not a quick project, but it was a long weekend; I thought that was plenty of time to get organized.
I was supposed to work at the mall for four hours on Saturday, and four hours Sunday...

An ADHD ApologyLately, it feels like all the things I should be doing are on a moving sidewalk and I can't keep up.
I’m sorry – ok – I’m sorry. I’m sorry I watched TV instead of doing the dishes. I’m sorry I didn’t get around to doing laundry until I was wearing my very last pair of socks. I’m sorry we made plans three weeks ago and then I canceled the day before. I’m sorry I said I would clean my room and never did. I’m sorry I...

ADHD Diet Woes: My McDonald's DownfallThis live-in-the-moment, right-here right-now ADHDer doesn’t stand a chance against the bright lights, flashy signs, and mouth-watering deals at fast-food joints.
McDonald's is the arch-enemy of my ADHD diet.
Picture this scenario: I got up at 6am to get ready for work. I worked all day, stopping for lunch around noon. By the time I leave work and sit in traffic all the way home I have about 10 minutes to change into comfier shoes and go to my next job until 10pm.
At 10pm, when I finally...
