Or, do you forget to even buy the bread? That can sometimes happen when you have adult ADD, but there's a simple way to avoid the pitfalls. http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/members/219.cfm Have you ever stopped to consider how many different kinds of relationships there are in life? When we use the word "relationship," it's often represents a romantic relationship, but there are family relationships, business relationships, relationships with acquaintances, and even relationships with the people who serve you food in your local restaurant. Think of yourself as a wagon wheel. You're the hub and the other people are the spokes all around you. http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/members/218.cfm When you have ADD, you have to realize certain things about yourself and work with them. On the positive side, you're probably very smart, you're creative, and you're intuitive. That's because you're very sensitive. But it's not always easy to show your emotions, especially if you're male. Society thinks that all adults should hide raw emotion, and so, most people go around doing that every single day. But did you know that this can hurt you? http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/members/217.cfm So, today's question is how do you stay motivated and on the right track, when you so often lose focus and forget what your goals are?When you're talking about these concepts, first you have to ask yourself are your goals motivating? Because your goals are the things that are supposed to get you motivated, and people with ADD get motivated, theydon't get focused, they get freakin' fixated! And when you're fixated on something, it's not very hard to stay focused on it. It just happens naturally. http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/public/268.cfm Tellman is on location at his "Tell-Mansion" to share some tips and tricks on how to stay on task and focused in the home office.

That was the case with my sister, who had severe ADHD as a child, and stopped taking Ritalin in Jr. High. The old thinking used to be you were "cured" of ADD/ADHD at that time. (And, sitting here as an ADHD adult myself, I know that's not so!) Unfortunately, my sister turned to drugs. Crystal Meth addiction was her drug of choice for 12 years. http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/members/213.cfm When you're the parent of a child with ADHD, you have a responsibility to learn all you can about ADHD and to try and help your child learn to work within the framework of their own brains. Everything may be moving much faster for them. You may be a linear thinker and can't quite understand what it's like in their world. And the worst possible scenario is one in which everything has been running smoothly because you have figured all this out, and suddenly, there's change. http://www.instantaddsuccess.com/members/212.cfm Have you ever been working on your computer either at work or home?

How many times do you switch from task to task during the day? How about during the year? Are you getting the results that you want from that task? Is multitasking hurting you? Or is multitasking helping you?
