For maximum productivity, you need to create a physical environment that promotes your ability to focus and concentrate. Here are the 6 things that every ADHD adult needs in their workspace in order to work as effectively as possible.

1. A Clear Desk

Clear your desk of everything except the bare essentials. Get rid of the piles of paper, empty coffee mugs, etc. As someone with ADHD, you are a visual person. That means you will find clutter more distracting than your non-ADHD peers. Are you thinking “but my clutter doesn’t bother me?” You might not think it distracts you, but on a subconscious level, it does. It’s very hard to focus and work productively when you are surrounded by visual reminders of your other unfinished projects. [Read more…]

When you are living with ADHD it is easy to feel like you aren’t in charge of your life.

One reason for this is it can be hard to get yourself to take action without a deadline looming, or other external accountability.

If you spend your days taking action on the urgent tasks yet not getting to do the important-to-you tasks you can feel…

• Uneasy at the end of each day, without really knowing why.
• A little envious of people who are experiencing success in areas you want to be successful.
• Resentful of people in your life who are making requests on your time.
• You might delay going to bed so you can get a few more things done.

In this video you will learn how to make a shift from relying on external prompts to get things done, to doing the activities that are a priority for you.

You will learn…

• What you can do, starting today, to make that shift.
• Why I know you can do this, even if your first thought is you can’t.
• How to shift the messages you tell yourself so they are supportive.
