How to change — ADD Tip o the day 252

Change is hard for anyone, not just for people with ADD or ADHD.  First, we have to make up our mind to change; the payoff has to be worth the effort to us (usually someone else wanting us to change is not enough).

I try to set reachable goals, expect lapses but just stick with it, keep score like with gold stars. So it’s identify a problem, commit to change, make a strategy,  make a rule.  If I stick with it long enough, it becomes a new habit.

To change an old habit is hard; the first strategy is spotting.  Just notice every time you do it.  That’s the first step.
