Reply To: Small box not big box

I am a year into an ADD diagnosis and finished a year of counselling in July. Included in this was a short course on dealing with my life and home with ADD. Short and sweet….It is the excruciating task of setting up a plan for a project that scares me (because it is so challenging somehow) but if I pick a small project (organize my filing) and actually write out a detailed plan and follow it I am VERY likely to succeed. I could easily get mired in emotions and distractions…but I am so done with not having what I need when I need it! I know when I am frustrated I can stay that way for a really long time, and I choose to ignore the voice that keeps telling me how hard it is! Of course it is hard, that is why I have to do it ;O) The reality of a job finished, not perfect, just finished, is so rewarding! The most amazing book I have ever read (Organizing for ADD, author: Pinsky) keeps me at it.
