If we have ADD or ADHD we need strategies.
There are a lot of good strategies that will make our life better.
They are not hard to use.
But if we have ADD or ADHD it can be hard to remember to use them.
So we need strategies to help us remember to use our strategies!
I only have three:
1. put up a reminder, in a place where you can’t miss it.
2. get your friend to gently and tactfully monitor you.
3. just keep on it, until it finally becomes a habit and you don’t have to remember it anymore.
So can you please share your strategy for remembering to use your strategies?? Please put your tip in the comments.
thanks for your help

….and a few strategies I use are:
1) send myself emails at home and office that include positive affirmations, to take time for meditation and prayer. “oh great spirit, inspire and protect me with your ever-present love and compassion.”.
2) I leave notes on my computer monitor to take time to breathe deeply, to unplug from thoughts that do not serve my highest good;
3) I’m doing far better in calling or writing friends whom I trust (and inviting them to call me) to share ‘phone time’ for quality, sane, affirming, strengthening, honoring and utilizing the amazing human beings in my life;
4) I’ve been known to leave myself voicemails with reminders to feel and express gratitude;
5) I journal, attempting to build into my days ways of mapping my progress.
Congrats on the book, Doug! Beautiful job ~

This post reminds me of the fact that I need and benefit from reminders to self-monitor, ie: strategies to do so help!
This post also reminds me of the fact that I seem to operate at a faster pace than others do in my thinking/feeling processes. Therefore, I often experience a lot of ‘background noise’ in my cognitive processing (like a radio station with too much static). Fine tuning helps –and may be essential for me to function in the world. “Reminder strategies” have become essential. Marc
