Plan Time to Relax and Have Fun!
In the crazy world that we live in it's extremely important for us to have time to relax and have fun. It's quite common that people with Attention Deficit Disorder don't plan time to relax or have fun. Many of us are also stuck in the mind set that we have to finish our work before we play!
The truth is that relaxing and having fun actually helps us recharge and get things done that we need or want to. If you are having trouble starting or finishing a project that you are working on, stop and take a break. Do something that you enjoy then come back to it. If you are afraid that you won't come back to it use a reminder system or ask somebody to help you get back to it.
When you come back to it you will feel re-charged and have new perspective!

Featured Living with ADD Story
Well. What a life frustrating life I live!
I am a 30 year old male living with Attention issues (I don’t like labels). When I was very young, I used to fight a lot in school, not pay attention and make jokes in class and seemed to be very hyper. Through grade school, I found it more important to joke around with my friends in class. I found it hard to pay attention because all I needed to do was look at a friend of mine and start to laugh. Whenever my friend was not present in class, I was fairly successful. Even in high school, this continued.
I often found school to be some sort of a joke, even more so in University. I found it hard to keep any pattern for studying or performing tasks because I would do it on a whim mostly. Novels never seemed to jive with me. I found them to be a waste of time and I would rather watch a movie because my attention span was horrendous. Even today, it sometimes takes me 1 year to finish a book. I’ll take on other books to read and sometimes forget to get back to the original one I started with.
