One of the core principles of managing adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is learning how to work with it, instead of fighting against it. We can learn how to take into account our own personal traits, and develop time management systems that honor them.

One of the core principles of managing adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is learning how to work with it, instead of fighting against it.

This means building on your strengths, not dwelling on your challenges, acknowledging your limits, and respecting your natural energy flow and biorhythms.

Planning a major software purchase? You can increase the probability of success of a software implementation project, and avoid singing the implementation blues, by doing your homework and following a proven model for success. This model includes an analysis of your current business systems, a vision of your improved system, an improvement process, and education. Also, top management must buy into this model, and support it at every step.

Is this you? You have customers to satisfy, professional goals to deliver on and your personal goals shoved to the back burner… and you and your friends, colleagues, clients and vendors are already talking about ‘next’ year. I’ll admit, I’ve had a few of those days that stretched to weeks with my attention caught in that tension.

If you cannot get a handle on the tug of war for your attention, your future is at risk! The truth is, you will always be bombarded by more information, more ideas and more opportunity than you can follow through on - that’s success!
