Break Your Defeating ADHD Habits
By Dana Rayburn, Adult ADD Coach

ADDed Success is ADD Coach Dana Rayburn's monthly newsletter about living
successfully with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Welcome to ADDed Success!
How do your ADHD habits support you? Do they boost you towards your dreams
and goals or hold you down?

Sadly, the habits of adults with ADD often move them further away from what
they want.

It gets worse.

You likely have the same defeating ADHD habits you've had since
childhood -- though they probably appear differently today than they used to.

The same defeating habits that messed up your bedroom as a child
keep your house disorganized today.

The defeating habits that made you late for elementary school will make
you late for work this week.

Those defeating ADHD habits that earned you bad grades in high
school cause you to miss deadlines as an adult.

Changing ingrained ADHD habits isn't easy. Yet to Outsmart your ADD
you must notice what gets in your way and step around it.

Here's your chance.

Pick one of your defeating ADHD habits. Now, think of what you must
do differently and do it.

Start now. No one else can do this for you. Success means living
more effortlessly with ADHD.

The Last Word
I've been noticing my defeating ADHD habits lately. Sure I've changed
many of them over the years -- I've learned to be organized, and
I now arrive places on time.

Upon deeper examination, however, I notice some ADHD habits have
hung around.

The worst is my goof-off habit.

Every morning I sit down and do the Sudoku puzzle in the
newspaper -- often spending an hour of precious work time.

Reflecting on my life, I realize I've always goofed-off to avoid tackling
a challenge. Oh, the trouble this has caused me!

Whether hiding a comic book in my history book, reading a novel
instead of writing a report or chatting over the office wall to my
co-workers, I've nurtured this lifelong, defeating ADHD habit.

My goof-off habit is officially on notice.

From now on my valuable work time is no longer playtime. No
Sudoku puzzle until after work.

To Your ADDed Success,
Dana
