Support For ADD
What are Your Steps?
I can’t believe it’s already September! I’ve always liked the month of September because it seems to bring a sense of newness and refreshment. Like many other Adults with ADD September is a time when I try to get back on track and begin new things. Something that I have learned that helps many of my ADD Coaching Clients and myself is to write out the Steps involved before beginning something new.
Quite often many people with Attention Deficit Disorder try to go directly from point A to point B and we don't realize how many steps are actually involved in even the simplest task. This can lead to us getting stuck and not being able to move forward with projects and tasks. Sometimes something as simple as writing out a few steps can help help us move forward.
Has writing down steps helped you with projects and tasks?

Featured Living with ADD Story
Im a 37 year old man with the attitude of 20 something. Ive never felt understood and often find myself misunderstood. I was diagnosed unofficially about 5 years ago and officially diagnosed about 1 year ago. Although I feel that knowing is good, Im still struggling in my relationships and job.
School was always tough, but I managed to graduate from high school and go on to college. I majored in psychology/art and graduated in 92. After I went on to be a social worker and was fortunate enough to have a great boss who pushed me to do my very best. After about 4 years, she retired and I was suddenly under someone who was not as understanding. As the pressure got worse, I resisted, but remained at my job. Soon I was offered a supervisory position, but I imploded and started resisting the pressure to do more. I left a good career for reasons that are still unclear to me. I wasted another great opportunity just because I couldnt deal with the situation.
