Support For ADD

Time to Re-Evaluate Your Systems

We all have systems in place for getting things done. Some of our systems work better for us than others. Sometimes a system that once worked well doesn't really work anymore. This is why it important from time to time to re-evaluate our systems. We need to find out what parts of the system are working and what parts of the system aren’t working for us.

For the past several years I have been adding personal ADD Stories to my Living with ADD website. I had a basic system in place that helped me get the ADD Stories people submitted posted on the site. For several years this system worked pretty well for me. Today I noticed that it had been quite a while since I had posted an ADD Story.

My initial reaction was to get down on myself for not getting the ADD Stories up. Then I stopped to look at the system I had in place and see why it wasn’t working. One of the main reasons it was working for when I first started using it was because it was the main thing I was doing in relationship to ADD and my websites. It was my main priority back then. Since I first set up my system I have added a lot more ADD related website responsibilities.

Since my commitments have changed it’s time my system changes too. Right now I am in the process looking my current system to see what parts of it do still support me and what parts of it I need to change to support me better.

Has re-evaluating your systems supported you?

Featured Living with ADD Story

I was born in the mid-50's. During the 60’s in grade school we were given pluses and minuses for various attributes. Mine were almost always minuses with comments such as, She doesn't use her time wisely, she doesn't complete assignments, she daydreams during class, she doesn't pay attention, she loses interest easily, she doesn’t apply herself (emphasis on this last phrase). The list goes on and on. I had a triple whammie, I also have central auditory processing deficit. So what I hear is not always what was said. I must have people repeat things several times.

It’s not a volume problem, please don’t yell it only makes matters worse. I was ten years old when it was discovered my vision was 20/100 in both eyes. No wonder learning was difficult, sitting in the back of the classroom not being able to see the board, or understand everything that was being said. It never offended me to be called four eyes, it was such a treat to be able to see clearly, call me whatever you please. I CAN SEE! HALEUIAH!
