Is ADD Expensive?

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Yup, there is definitely a cost. Nothing is free any more!! As an ADD’er, I have become aware that there is a financial cost to not properly managing ADD. According to NewsMedia.net, U.S. household income losses due to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) total nearly $77 billion each year!!!

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round & Round

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I have a good friend Michelle Hargreaves, who is a coach http://www.hargreavesco.com. Michelle has some great things to say and as we were catching up this week, she said something to me that spawned a great conversation……and this post too!
“When you try too hard the wheels fall off” is what Michelle said. I thought that […]

Domino: Pizza? Song by Van Morrison? Effect?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

What is the cost of trying to do too much? That is a loaded question with many different out-comes that can create a domino effect of results.
Today more than ever, people are outsourcing in business and personally. On a personal level, maybe someone hires a housekeeper, or a gardener to cut their lawn. It […]

Relaxation = Productivity

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Sounds like an oxy-moron. It’s true though. How can you be productive if you are worn out, stressed and you need some down time. Our bodies and brains need to be relaxed in order to be productive. There is of course the odd example that contradicts this and some people simply come alive and thrive […]

Is Beer The Cure for ADD?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Power of Protein

You too can be a super hero!!! Leap tall buildings in a single bound! Fight the powers of evil! Lead man-kind to a better place……..or, maybe not. You do however, have the power to be a super hero to yourself and the people around you.

How? That’s a good question. In my humble opinion, it’s […]

Do it – Schedule it – Drop it

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I recently adopted a new motto, Do it – Schedule it – Drop it.
While it may not qualify for the Motto Hall of Fame, it sure has been effective in helping me stay focused and avoid procrastination. If you have ADD or know anyone who does, perhaps this can assist.
Throughout my work day I […]

Peak Production Time

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

During your day, when is your most productive time? When do you peak? When do you need to take a step back and recharge your batteries? These are all good questions that need to be considered for any person with ADD.
Looking at productivity from the other side…..what is the personal cost if you don’t […]

Parental Laugh

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I have posted numerous times with reference to the phrase “Take a Step Back”, which I developed and practiced with my ADD coach Pete Quily.
