Getting Things Done

Getting Things Done

IT’S NOT ABOUT DOING MORE, IT’S ABOUT DOING THE RIGTHT THING MORE CONSISTENTLY, AND MORE EASILY.

If you have ADHD, you are constantly struggling with time management and productivity due to memory, focus regulation, motivation, time and other executive function challenges.

These challenges are due to not having the right systems in place, or not using tools that work for you.

You need to find tools that work for you.

Learn to do things differently if what you are doing is not working for you.

Learn to do things in ways that work for you.

Don’t let your days run you - you need to plan your days.

Take time to look at your calendar and to-do list at the end of each day or in the evening.

Pick out the three most important things to do first —  what are the essential things to accomplish to move you toward your goals.

Don’t try to think you can complete all you to-dos - that is too overwhelming and will set you up for failure.

Make your calendar your friend - use it!  Make sure that the things that are essential to you are on the calendar.

REMEMBER:  if it’s not scheduled, it won’t get done.

Don’t work on things that are going to keep you from achieving your goals.
