  • Set multiple alarms to avoid being late.
  • Use task lists to avoid being bogged down for simple tasks.
  • Organize desk area to deter mountains of paperwork on their desk.
  • Choose a career with flexible surroundings including evaluations based on interests, passions, and capabilities.
  • Get outside for a few minutes as exposure to nature can help refocusing.

    Do you have anything of adult ADHD? I never see anything on adults, senior with ADHD would even be better.

      Sorry for the delay. I’m still learning how to use the blog apps.

      I’m sad to say, but I’ve heard your story many times before.

      Check out CHADD. They specialize in all ranges of ages of folks with ADHD. I know a lot of people who have had success with them.

      My Google+ Community includes teens, young adults with ADHD, but adults are a vocal part too. It’s at http://www.google.com/+ediebrown.

      Good luck in your journy.
