- Adult ADD: Remembering To Remember
When you have adult ADD, it's not surprising that your memory is faulty. When you remember certain events or places, you might get a bit creative, let's say. Or, you'll be physically attending and mentally elsewhere. You may not remember things people did or what they said, or even places you've been until someone gives you just the right verbal cue and then, whatever it is you're to remember comes into view. None of this is unusual for people with adult ADD.
Yet, forgetti... - Add Hyperfocus, Determination, And Persistence
Two important qualities that all successful people have are determination and persistence. But when you have ADD, the persistence part can be quite difficult
But let's take a step back. What makes someone determined?
There are many meanings of that word, but the one meaning we want to concentrate on here is the "firmness of purpose or resolve." It's a "burning desire" the kind of determination that motivates you to action. Yet, determination alone won't lead to succes... - Adult ADD: Make Time For Distractions
Every day when you wake up, you probably have something that needs to be done on your mind. Like, I have to get my bills done, or I need to fix that chair that's been falling apart, or I have to disconnect my computer so I can take it in for service. It's usually something that needs to be done and has been hanging on your mind for a while. It may not be an emergency, but it just needs to be done. So, you start unplugging the wires from the back of your computer and the phone... - 10 Social Skills For Add Peace Of Mind
Did you have only a few friends when growing up with ADD? If you're an ADD parent, does the lack of social ability in your child just tear you apart? It's true that no children have social skills until they're taught, but did you know that 60% of all people with ADD will never have the ability to get along well in society?
The issue isn't gender based, either. ADD boys and girls have equal difficulty in being part of a group. However, boys will not agonize over losing a fr... - Making ADD Your Greatest Strength
Low self-esteem is something that many ADD people deal with, even after they grow up. It's understandable in kids because of the trouble you may have had with other kids or the issues your AD/HD presented in the classroom. If you had parents that provided a safe place for you and who understood and accepted you for who you were, then your self-esteem level may be normal. But if it's not, if you still have painful memories from your childhood, then, you need to recognize that ... - Adult Add And Cloudy Communications
If you're someone with adult ADD or ADHD, how often do you have circular conversations? You know the kind. You go 'round and 'round with someone, and you're both saying the exact same thing, but you can't make yourself understood? Isn't that frustrating? Is it possible for someone AD/HD to have less stress in their communications?
The frustration you're feeling comes from a sense of imbalance because you're misunderstood. Feelings of "Nobody Understands Me" promote your se... - How Can An Add-friendly System Change Your Life?
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) wasn't recognized until about twenty years ago. Before that time, children who didn't sit still in their desk chairs, who seemingly daydreamed all the time, and couldn't meet homework assignments were considered "bad" kids, whose parents had failed to give them sufficient discipline. The only option was to spank or punish them on a daily basis. We still don't know what repercussions that type of parenting had on kids who just couldn't do any b... - When You Think You Have Add
It's only been about 20 years since the medical community changed their thinking on ADD. Yet, many doctors still hold the belief that ADD disappears once people grow up.
Adults with attention deficit know differently. Though many learn to control their symptoms as adults, for others, it's impossible, and they continue to struggle with short attention spans for anything outside their sphere of interest and other symptoms related to attention deficit.
However, you may th... - Adult ADD: Use ADD To Make Their Day (And Yours)...
If you’re not getting what your want out of life, it’s not because you have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), you’re a bad person, you don’t have anything to offer the rest of the world, any learning disability, background, or how much money you have. It’s all whether or not you can communicate what’s on your mind in an effective way.
Where I'm from, people don’t generally walk around smiling and hugging you when they first meet you. What I found was that when I said, “How... - Adult ADD: Motivational Focus -- Keystone In A Happy Life
We’re in an informational age. Information is more available now than there's ever been in the world. More will be available tomorrow. Unless the entire Internet crashes, I predict that’s going to continue for a long time.
So, the question isn’t, “How many opportunities are there?” or “What is the best opportunity?” because there’s no such thing. There’ll be a better opportunity tomorrow than the one you’re working on today.
When you have ADD, it’s a blessing and a curs... - Adult ADD: Secrets For A Carefree Mind
Do you suffer from ADD? Does this sound like you?
You can’t remember where you’re going because the time and place are on a sticky note, or you put the information on a note card, and then lost it. It’s on paper, but you can't find the paper!
You definitely need to plug into things that work for you based on how your brain works when you have ADD.
Don't be a sticky note person. If you have ADD, you probably have issues with cluttering things up. Try making things rea... - Adult ADD: Focus Ideas, Complete A Plan
How does the ADD brain process ideas?
For most people, ADD shows up in early childhood. You’re sitting in the car and start asking questions of whomever is driving. “Are we there yet?” "What makes the car run?" "Why do the clouds move?" and on and on, until you get some answers!
ADD can be a blessing and a curse. When you are asking that many questions (unless you happen to have a parent, guardian, or teacher in your life, who really understands how your ADD brain works... - Adult ADD: What Everybody Should Know... About How To Focus Attention
Focus is a very interesting thing. It’s kind of confusing for a lot of people. Sometimes people have focus when they don’t know that they’re focused. Some people just can’t seem to focus. Some people find that they’re focusing on the wrong things, and not the things they want to focus on. It’s difficult to measure.
Focus is a concept. It’s very difficult to say, “I’m focused" right? Versus, “I’m not focused,” because it’s very, very subjective. Where’s the focus scale? How...
