31 Days have elapsed in this new decade and I’m wondering how many of you are STILL sticking to your resolutions, intentions, goals, (whatever you’ve named it!) for 2020? Hands raised? Hands lowered? How’s it going?

I. AM. STILL. GOING. STRONG!

And it feels GREAT to commit to something every day so far!

I highly encourage you to NOT give up on something you’re wanting to do for yourself!

One of the things I say to my clients all the time is:

“Don’t let yourself down!”

Don’t do it! Stick to your guns and remember the importance of why you decided to want to do these things. Don’t allow yourself to be deterred (or get in your own head!) because it seems too high a goal or something that was just too far fetched.

If you’re reading this and you have challenges with ADHD and Executive Functions, I am here to share with you –> I am fully engaged this month on HOW to best support you! How to stay on task, How to get projects and to do lists done and NOT be beholden to all the negative stuff that comes into your thoughts that deter you from being awesome!

This month it’s all about OWNING your ADHD!

Yep! I’m making this the month to share how you can be more productive, accountable, and manage time all the while bringing an understanding of ADHD into your world as to WHY you may not be able to stay motivated.

Anyone bored with their goals yet? Anyone not feeling motivated?

AHHH…I’ve got you! Stay with me and follow me on Social Media – INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK – so you don’t miss any of the goodness coming your way!

Make February YOUR month to OWN your ADHD..like the rock star that you are!

The Best Tool for Time Management and the ADHD Brain

“In 15 minutes we are leaving the house!” Says every mom, every day!

Well, what happens when in 15 minutes your child is nowhere to be found and you find yourself stressed, being late, getting frustrated and upset knowing you will be running late because you find your child upstairs getting lost in legos, puzzles, games, etc…nowhere near ready to walk out the door? What happens then? More importantly, what DIDN’T happen?

I can tell you: your child didn’t understand how long 15 minutes was, lost track of time and forgot about it.

One of the biggest challenges with ADHD is time management – how to plan the day, how to stay on task, being on time and understanding how time elapses. You see, the ADHD brain thinks “differently” and processes time in a very unique way, completely opposite of neurotypicals! Many who seek coaching are looking for tools and strategies for their child in this one very broad, all-encompassing topic.

Well, I put together a special video – The Best Tool for Time Management and the ADHD Brain – JUST for this reason. Its premise is one of the most common topics my clients need help with: time management and their child. CLICK HERE TO ORDER IT.

In it, I share 4 concepts of “time” to an ADHD Brain to better understand how the brain processes and thinks about time.

But the BEST NEWS? There is a TOOL that can be LIFE CHANGING for families and completely help their child succeed and self manage their time!!! It saved our family and I swear by it! I really do! (Well, not the actual swearing, but you know what I mean!). Our home became more peaceful and I wasn’t always nagging and being stressed and hurried leaving the house and anxious about transitioning from one task or event to the other… ALL that went away with the Time Timer.

I explain why I love this tool, why I couldn’t live without it and why I feel the Time Timer is the best tool available for ADHD kids and how it works. I break it down to show how to help our children understand the device and I then wrap up the video with examples (lots of them!) for how to effectively use it to best support your child!!

It’s a goodie!!! A video you won’t want to miss!! Simply grab a snack, coffee or tea and click here to order this video and then watch how you can help your child succeed with time!
