ADDult ADD/Happy Holidays/What works for YOU?
Bryan Dodge was the highest rated ADHD-er in the state of Texas, I think. When he took the test the counselor shared his results. Bryan said,"How'd I do?" The Counselor said, "Bryan, you changed the parameters of the test!"
Like, it was that obvious we have ADD. So our friends and family knew the whole time that we had that certain personality, BUT didn't know what to blame it on? No problem.
It is NOT a problem, IT IS A GIFT WE HAVE. The GIFT of spontaneity and fun and adventure that our other counterparts or friends WISH they had!! Yes, We DO have to LEARN to get along with others. That's the challenge. Say Yes or yes!
How many of us feel the same way?
Check out Bryan's videos and audios to help people and the one about ADHD and discipline.
He says medication CAN help, but NOT to count on it as a crutch. COPY AND PASTE: Visit his site:

I think ADD and Entreprenuers have much in common!
1. Risk takers.
2. Can hyper focus on a dream or goal
3. Spontaneous
4. Like being around people
5. Talk to everyone
6. And more
Did I miss something?
Are these things just in me, or do you see them too?
I think I found the perfect biz for me with ADD. Add your feedback or take some feedback from this loooong thread or topic.
P.S. If you like photography and being around people, maybe we should team up and partner. Reply to this topic if you would like to know more.

FAST TIPS - Bypass all these posts and go straight to tips with the link above. Or read through my collection.
Today I STILL personally believe that ADHD or anything like it can be helped or assisted by just plain d i s c i p l i n e . DISCIPLINE. Discipline. I heard teachers prefer drugs for ADHD for one reason only. (Makes their job easier, and I kinda BELIEVE IT TOO...but, if you're a teacher or know a teacher who teaches ADHD students, I am sure they are doing whatever they got to do to make the best of THEIR SITUATION. I hope so anyway. Big :)
I grew up my whole life thus far without drugs and late in life was diagnosed while MOM always was my disciplinarian. NOW - my WIFE and my MOM are my disciplinarians.(Is that a word? Looks too long!)
But ANYWAY, DO YOU THINK I LISTEN TO MY MOM AND MY WIFE ALL THE TIME? NO! But I do listen to them often, then I come to decisions with their suggestions and I REMIND MYSELF to speak * C A L M L Y * to them or anyone. Still learning, and growing my photography studio. (Are You Good At Photoshop? Want To Learn Photoshop? Want To Own A Photo Studio? Want To Do It With Me? CONTACT ME. Maybe we can work together as I mentioned before somewhere in this long intro?)
Maybe you were not fortunate like me have a mom say stuff like,"Clean your room, NOW!" and CONSTANT reminders...but I still get those reminders today from my wife and my mom!
Everyone around us ADHDers is a product of our environment and everything works like a well oiled engine with all the sum of the parts. My friends, family and even clients are my system. My to do list gets me places.
sounds good, Right?!
Time to continue moving forward with your goals 1 step at a time!
Just 1 inch at a time!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Especially if I can! So can YOU!
I am no motivational guy, and NO big shot here.
Just a little shot who keeps shooting!!!
Like basketall, soccer, sports, running..??
Everything requires practice, discipline and incremental improvement and you can WIN TOO!
What Works to help focus? Got something to add?
1. Use w.i.n. = What's important now?
2. G.S.S.D.T. = Get some stuff done today!
(NOT everything - Cut your goal in half
at first, and DO less when it seems
overwhelming)
3. Teamwork makes the dream work!
4. Let's help each other from here!
5. Fitness helps my add brain too!
Train for ENDURANCE.
6. I cut my own meds to ONLY running. This seems to help me.
7. We are all DIFFERENT. What works for me, may be different for you.
8. ANYONE can do 1-2 MPH on a treadmill or outside for 30 minutes!
9. (Add 10 minutes each WEEKEND to increase TIME, NOT speed)
And let the other stuff fall into place!
10. Don't try, DO! <--Yoda said it best! You can do it!
11. Favorite ADHD links that are helpful:

12. *reply to this post every week*
Don't wait til someone answers. Let us know what works for you THIS week!
I am newly diagnosed and confused if I am doing enough to cope or not.
I write a lot of stuff down, and read a lot. And exercise quite a bit.
Looking for what works for you?
Coping Skills That Is?
I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Sincerely,
Paul
P.S. NO ONE THING WORKS FOR ME EXCEPT Re-motivating myself constantly!
Also, I am a V i s u a l learner. If someone shows me ONCE, then I am an expert. What's wrong with a mentor, teacher, friend helping you do your homework. Even if they DO it, so what. What is RIGHT is others showing us what to do at FIRST! When I do next week's homework, by myself, then isn't that learning?
Kindest regards,
Paul
