Description

Those of us with ADHD often struggle with time. We like to do things when we feel like it. We cannot see or feel time, and we’re easily distracted. Often, hyperfocus can get in our way as well. We start, can’t stop, and have to finish. We also struggle with working memory issues. What was I doing again?  And I don’t know who doesn’t struggle with emotional regulation/dis-regulation – or the “I just don’t feel like it!” feeling.  We must understand why we are the way we are in order to create hacks to be better.  We must learn to pause, even though it’s against our nature because are time optimists and often underestimate how long something will take.  Hear Tracy’s tips for developing time management skills and planning more effectively for the future.  See how Tracy uses the positive emotion of success to motivate her through the planning process.  See how Backward Planning can teach you how to see and feel time, as well as set reasonable goals.  Listen as Tracy shares some hacks for developing Executive Function Skills.  How can we create practical methods to get through day-to-day tasks?
