Don’t worry Robin! I am your ADD buddy, I need those blinders! If I could switch off the 24/7 commentary in my head, I’d be happy!
I tackle my ADD by writing SHORT to-do lists. Long lists are overwhelming and I lose focus. My attention span being that of a 3-year-old, I have to treat myself like one!
So, I don’t have more than 3–5 things on the list and set a time limit for it. When the list is done, I reward myself.
There are of course days when lists don’t work because my brain is too fried to even make a list! I just let those days be and hog some ice cream and watch tv!
