Re: Struggling with Motivation in the Morning

[Misswho23]

Didn’t have time to read all the posts because I too work in a home office. Part of the day now.

I like your Idea of THINK DO. Since I tend to think of something and in my mind it’s like I have already done it. To me THINK DO says action and I’m ADHD and I like action and purpose! I’ll you know if it works for me.

I read a blog or was it a video? Anyway he suggested to add on 30 seconds to whatever your doing. Like if you picked up a coffee cup and were about to just set it down anywhere that extra 30 seconds you could actually be taking it to the kitchen. Or may fav. take another 30 seconds before sending that email or proof to the client. Still working on that one to avoid sending out small errors but they add up and make it look like your not paying attention to their job. Which us usually not the case..

I’ve stopped trying to think of beating ADHD. Tried that and I think it set me up to fail I could never quite beat it. However I can learn new skills or do things in a way that better suits me. So what If I know what time it is by what tv show is on in the background. At least I know what time it is!

As fpr mornings. Yes that getting up is the most difficult for me and the getting started. I’e learned that I have to take my meds when I wake up and eat something or I will be as I say comatose until late afternoon.

My motivational plan right now is stay on my meds. Keep a record of goals and cross them off or note the progress made. Found an adult support group. And mostly this web site and all the posts.

If there is an intro board – well never found it but then I never though about it either. I just jump in.

Nice to have you aboard!
