Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Know Your Limits

But what happens in the world of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is this. There are normal cognitive (or brain) functions that control learning and behavioral activities; the top three of these functions are working memory (or the maintaining of information that was just seen or heard), sense of time and organization. People who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder often have trouble dealing with these three functions. The results? Lack of good, solid planning and time management skills, often hurting their job, home and social responsibilities

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Counter Attack!

Set up, use organizer and filing systems. Organizing and planning are normal parts of everyday life. Why be organized?

    • So you can spend less time looking for things, more time ENJOYING things and being more productive.
    • So you can stop feeling anxious and overwhelmed when you can’t find something and feel overjoyed instead at knowing exactly where your possessions are!
    • So you can get more accomplished and earn more money
    • So you can lighten stress levels resulting from wasted “searching” for things, from being late, unprepared, harried - angry. And instead reap benefits from improved relationships at home, at work, at social function.
