“I never lose. I either win or I learn.” -Nelson Mandela

There are certainly more than 5 tips to maximize your ADHD, however this is a good start.

Tip #1-Be open to a Positive Perspective

• Whether you have the appearance, the possibility, the probability or an official diagnosis from a medical professional, or you know someone who fits any or all of the above, the odds are high that your awareness of ADHD/ADD is predominantly negative.

• I am not denying that there are challenges and consequences associated with ADHD. I am suggesting that there are also unique strengths and benefits to be discovered and developed.

Tip #2-Dare to Dream Again

• We’re like adult kids and we have often been told that we need to grow up. Healthy and beneficial “grow-ups” are included in Tips #3-5 (…but we get to do it our way).

• Crank up (if necessary) your childhood “Dream Machine” and start creating

• Write it down and use all five senses and more to build, create, develop, crystallize and transform your dream in to a goal!

Tip #3-Seek Structure

• Structure is your friend and one of your greatest advocates and supports

*IF you are proactive in creating the structure yourself by way of a strategic plan

• AND you take the action required (Tip #4)

• AND you are accountable (Tip #5) and own the results, good or bad, and course-correct as needed

Tip #4-Take Action…BABY Steps!

• Write down your plan

• Break it down into BABY Steps

• Starting is half the battle

• FOLLOW your plan

• Take frequent breaks to prevent unconscious (or not) distractions

• When life happens and unexpected or other high priority tasks conflict, reschedule your plan and the deadline

• Perfectionism is poison

• As soon as you get off-track or fall behind, recalibrate your plan and due date to avoid discouragement and the temptation to give up simply because you can’t meet the original due date.

• Never, Ever, EVER Give up on yourself or your dreams!
