For Women with ADHD ADD Who Want to Connect

Time and Task Management

Hi, Everyone. I'm interested in learning how other busy women with ADHD/ADD manage their workload. Do you multi-task? Are you able to stick with a task for very long, or are you, like me, more like a hummingbird? : D

Do you have any special tools or tricks that you use to help keep yourself on track?

Whether in the home or at work, this has been one of the main challenges of my entire life. Especially off of medication, I have the attention span of a fruitfly and tremendous difficulty staying on task. Now that I'm on medication, I'm working on developing myself in this area.

I have written a blog post (actually in two parts - hyperactive talker here!) on the topic, and I'm really interested in hearing what others in the same boat have to say on the matter. If you're interested, please take a peek. And any wisdom you would share would be greatly appreciated (either here, or as comments on my blog). Thanks!

Great stuff on your blog! Just wondering does anybody else play the "Does he/she have ADHD game" like I do. I know so many people who totally have it, I mean I have had to stop myself from telling people they have it or even talking about me having it. Its crazy how many are out there who really have no idea!! Your jewish game thing reminded me of that.

Thanks, Jennalyn - I appreciate your feedback on my blog! I've diagnosed 3 people with ADHD since yesterday. LOL

I've got a handful of half-finished blog posts that I've been working on; and one of these days soon, I plan to get them done. So I hope you'll stop back! : D

I know this is very very late to the discussion, but I was so tired of losing my lists, that a few months ago I bought a small, (fake) leather-bound notebook and I make all my lists in there - the reason this works is that it fits in my purse, and in my pocket, and I make sure to keep it on me at all times - I never set it on the table. My husband always ask me what I am writing in my little book and I just smile mysteriously. If he only knew it was a list of personal hygiene products I need to remember to buy! LOL
