By Edward (Ned) Hallowell, Psychiatrist1. Do The Impossible. People focus most intently when they take on a challenge, when they are working in an area where they are skilled, but where they are also stretched. Often, amazingly enough, what seemed impossible becomes possible. 2. Trust Your Way. Perhaps the single most clichéd song lyric ever…

By Alan Brown, Entrepreneur and ADHD CoachWe ADDers are the perfect consumers. Um, from the retailers’ perspective, that is. Think about the two oldest sales tricks in the book used by retailers to get us to “Buy NOW!” A.K.A., the old “Better-get-it-now-or-you’ll-be-miserable-cuz-you-blew-this-opportunity”, or, “You’ll-never-really-have-to-pay-us-so-go-ahead-and-mortgage-your-home!”

By Elaine Taylor-KlausAs parents, we tend to rely on the support of our “village” to help us raise our kids. We appreciate the give and take of a local support network. “Can I drop that off for you on my way home?” “Can you pick up this child for me?” It’s a kind of a dance.

By Sari Solden, MSFor a woman with ADD, the healing starts in her brain and continues in her heart.
In order for women with the executive function struggles of ADHD to maximize their strengths and increase their feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment, it is usually necessary to re-structure the way they set up their lives both at home and at work.
This means that first, they must come to a deep understanding and acceptance of how they function best, how their brains work, and become willing to ask for support for their challenges. This may sound simple, but it is far from easy….
