With ADHD we have trouble making choices and decisions.
- Do I really need to make this decision?
- Does it matter?- is it worth the the time and effort?
- Does it have to be me?
- Gather data
- List pros and cons
- Consult with others- not to follow their advice, but ask them their reasoning, to get another viewpoint
- If you still don’t know, then there is no right answer. Flip a coin.

Note: if things turn out badly, it doesn’t mean you were wrong (if you followed the steps). It means there was no way to know.

As a child, I was a bully. Then there was a transformation.

Doug,
Spending an entire day of work gathering and analyzing data to make a decision on something. Then being told the next day, Never mind we “decided” to go another direction.
Was I still productive? I would like to think so.

yes, we can get caught up in something and its hard to let go. so how much data gathering is enough? how long is a piece of string?
