Wow, I just realized I hadn't written a blog post since March! Not sure why I didn't write during the month of April. I had plenty of stuff to write about. I guess I just needed to have some structured time to write. Time to designate a specific day and time to blogging.
As a sit writing this post I'm on a 3.5 hour train ride. Part of the reason I chose to take the train instead of flying was because it would give me some structured time to be productive. The the seats on a train are built more for productivity than a plane. Oh and having free Wifi for the entire trip also helps with productivity.
A little more than 1 hour into the train ride and I've accomplished more than I have in months! Maybe it's time for me to take more train trips or just add more structured time to me schedule!

Ok, I know logically that I can only do one thing at a time. I also know that when I'm spinning and can't decide what to do first, it really helps to make a quick list of the things I want or need to get done. I do know this!! I really do!!
Here I am hours into working and I still haven't completed the 2 most important items that I wanted to. My mind keeps drifting because I didn't make a list. My disorganized ADD Mind keeps jumping to other things!! I don't have something more organized than my mind bring me back on track!
If I can locate a pen that works, I'm going to go make a list and get those things done now!! Blogging wasn't on my list today but here I am blogging!

I just got an email from an ADHD Support Talk Radio Listener and wanted to share it!
Hi Tara I just wanted to email you and thank you for your podcast. I am 36 and found out 2 years ago that I have ADHD and have found your podcast extremely helpful. Your diversity in guests and the information that is discussed covers all areas that affect my life. I can't say I really have a favorite guest as they all offer something. Dr. Stephanie Sarkis and Ari Tuckman are quite enjoyable as their names come to mind first, but I really enjoy them all. I just thought I would thank you and let you know your podcast has had a positive impact on a fellow ADHDer. I am currently listening to your podcast as I am on a ferry in British Columbia. Once again thank you from a Canadian fan!

The 2013 Winter Session of Adult ADD BootCamp - Organized and in Control begins on Thursday January 17, 2013. This is our longest running and most popular program at ADDClasses.com. At ADDClasses.com we understand that many adults with ADD / ADHD often struggle financially and this is why we offer scholarships for all of our support programs. The deadline to submit an application is tonight (1/10/13) at 11:59 pm EST.
Here's what people are saying about Adult ADD BootCamp:
“Yes, this bootcamp is definitely worth taking, worth every penny. Why? Because it puts substance into your day. How? by laying paths for you to follow principles. You start living the way you want. This bootcamp helps us believe in ourselves and creates substance; a roadmap of sorts. We just need to follow the route, use our planners. Just do it. Enjoy wherever your dreams take you.”
“This course has been great! Each section has added more control to my life. This course has helped me organize my work area immensely. I feel I have more control over bills, mail, taxes, budgeting, and many more things. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has ADD. We often think of ourselves as being odd and different than others, and I guess we are. It’s good to be able to see that there are other people like me and be able to communicate with them.”

As a person with Adult ADD / ADHD, reminders can be a lifesaver. Some people do well with programs like Remember the Milk. There are also 101+ different Apps avaible for smart phones too. For far too many people those type of programs are not enough or people expect too much from them. Those programs will alert you and wake your brain up a bit but they don't provide the accountability that Adults with ADD / ADHD often need. It can be far to easy to ignore those program since there really isn't anybody on the other end.
For years I have been working as an ADHD Coach and providing educational and support resources. One of the most common services Adults with ADD / ADHD have been seeking is somebody to simply remind them to do things and check in with them to see if the tasks have been completed. People thought they were looking for an ADHD Coach to do this but this is something an assistant would do.
I am happy to anounce that ADHDAssistant.com is now accepting new clients into our Text Message Reminder Package. It's a simple, effective and affordable service. You let our ADHD Assistants know what you would like to be reminded to do and we remind you and check in with you.

Here it is the beginning of 2013 and if you are like me your are probably follwing some other Adult ADD / ADHD Experts. Some of them write or talk about New Years Resolutions in relationship to Adult ADD / ADHD. There are some who tell you how to make new Years resolutions when you have Adult ADD / ADHD. Some even come out and tell you not to even bother making them.
A couple of years ago Dr. Ari Tuckman joined me on ADHD Support Talk Radio to talk about New Year's Resolutions and ADD / ADHD. This was a great show and I highly recommend listening to it if you are thinking about making New Years Resolutions in 2013.
