Develop a Time Sense: ADHD Myths & Mysteries About Time

If you’re perpetually ashamed at not being able to meet your “get things done” goals, you may hold unconscious assumptions about time that are more based in magical thinking than reality.

And when your time sense is highly inaccurate, even the best time management techniques are likely to fail. For your plans to work out, you need to be able to realistically estimate how long things will take you to do.

This webinar will help you identify if you’re harboring some common ADHD “myths” about time, and will show you how to develop an accurate time sense in just a few weeks.

Moms with ADHD: Managing Guilty Thoughts and Feelings

Are you a mom with ADHD? Then you have a lot on your plate- managing your own ADHD while managing your child with ADHD or other special challenges.

But before we can be effective either way, moms need to work on themselves early on, by recognizing the loss of their “idealized child” and working through sadness, grief, anger, and other feelings that are often left unsaid, for many reasons. This can lead to feelings of guilt, depression, and more.

I will talk about why we go through these stages and what you can do integrate these feelings so that you can move forward in healthier ways.

Productivity WITHOUT Misery: 5 Strategies for Pain-free Productivity

At 33 years old, I was broke, divorced, and earning minimum wage — and then I was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD.

In the seven years since, I have grown a successful Fortune 500 career, consulting to companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Deloitte, UnitedHealthcare, Motorola, and Marriott.

Most recently, while working as a senior manager at an $8 billion company, I built Hidden ADHD, publishing over 25 articles, filming over 50 YouTube videos, reading over 75 books, and growing my following to over 100,000 people. With that productivity, my side hustle became my day job and I left the corporate world.

My secret was discovering ADHD-specific productivity strategies that allowed me to get more done without putting in more effort.

*** The 5 Strategies for Pain-free Productivity We’ll Cover (S.M.A.S.H.) ***

#1: Select high-leverage actions. Not all actions are created equal. By doing an 80/20 analysis of our actions, we can find and execute the vital few that lead to the biggest results.

#2: Mute distractions. Research shows that task-switching reduces productivity by up to 40%. For us ADHDers, it’s probably worse. Also Cal Newport’s concept of Attention Residue and the true cost on our effectiveness.

#3: Add accountability. If you’re like me, you cringe at the thought of being held accountable. But that’s because accountability was often put on us by others. When we choose to have accountability on a personally-meaningful goal, it’s a totally different experience.

#4: Schedule it first. Another name for this concept is “Pay Yourself First”. Here, I talk about the benefits of putting your 80/20 action on your top goal at the front of your day’s plan.

#5: Honor your biological rhythm. We all have a biologically driven rhythm called our Chronobiology. Here we look at the details from Daniel Pink’s book When and how this understanding can make “hard” work feel easy.
