Isn’t that the truth! Too many choices is a VERY BAD thing!!!
I write a lot of organization and time management stuff on my blog and I really try to make it realistic and practical – not the same old, same old. Every time I’ve done a search for “time management for ADHD” it says the exact same thing. But it’s pretty much the exact same thing they say for people who don’t have ADHD. Excuse me?! The same methods do not work! On my blog I try to give lots of options and lots of creative ways to manage time and organize so the ADHD, ADD or regular person can all find something to help. And I’ve stopped doing “time management for ADHD” searches because they’re worthless.
Oh, and I’m trying really hard not to give myself too many choices in my daily life.

patty – excellent point, what works for most might not for us. for example, knowing something is “important’ does not turn our focus center on.
would you share your blog address here please?
thanks for the comments

Thanks, Doug, for mentioning my blog! Here’s an article that might be especially helpful called 10 ADHD organizing strategies that work for everyone. I got a LOT of feedback on this one from folks who struggle with ADD/ADHD: http://homemakersdaily.com/10-adhdadd-organizing-strategies-that-work-for-everyone/

I read these comments and am always nodding my head in agreement. I’m so tired of trying to pull it all together, and no one understanding how exhausting being “normal” can be.
Just a thought – I won a book from someone – didn’t happen to be on this site, was it?

Robin, boy I can relate! It is SO exhausting trying to be “normal”. When I was younger and raising my kids, I shared with my girlfriends about my struggles and they looked at me like I was from Mars. Nobody had a clue what I was talking about. It wasn’t until much later that I figured out I had ADHD. I just thought something was wrong with me. All I knew was that I wasn’t like my friends and it took everything I had just to get through the day.
I’ve learned a lot of strategies that have helped but it still takes a lot of effort to hold everything together. But it does get easier.

I appreciate your words. I am going through a lot of anxiety because my adult son crashed and burned out-of-state and depression has been fatal in my family. Between the ADHD and nerves, I’m not sleeping much. I am working on strategies, but with four hours of sleep under my belt, I am pushing a lot. I am glad to hear it does get easier. I’m much better at not picking up the book at night or starting a new search on the internet. Hope to connect again.

It is a relief to read this. I know I ruined my health trying to bend to everyone’s expectations while I was raising 3 ADHD sons and my daughter and I with differing amounts of ADD.

dars – it’s so easy to be influenced by others and get off our own path. I like to say that only God’s opinion of me matters (I say it, but it’s hard to live it.)
you sound like a hero too.
