Note from Carol 

"I'm no longer Scattered. I have done a Program."

Is this you?

If so, do you feel some kind of odd guilt that you are still not "perfect?" That you "should" have it all down by now? That you "know this" so why are you not DOING IT CONSISTENTLY?

Yes. I know. You don't have to raise your hand. Let me ask you this - show me that Perfect Person. That person who ALWAYS has it together, come rain or shine or earthquake. Not an off day. No routines missed. Nothing, she's perfect.

Right. She (he) (they) do NOT exist...period. AND when you have ad/hd....well your brain needs external reminders most times. And that's okay! In fact, it's fabulous, and now you know. How wonderful to know and to give yourself what you need!

The article is all about those reminders. Enjoy! Leave me a reply in the blog OR hit reply and let me know what resonates with you/what you are going to try this week. Then tune in on Nov. 2nd to the Wisdom Warriors where we will go deeper! Register HERE.

3 Critical Questions every entrepreneur with AD/HD must ask themselves on a regular basis for continued success…

We all want success, of course we do, it’s natural to want to create this for ourselves and those around us. But how do we keep on track? How do we make sure the path ahead is clear and we continue to make progress on our journey?

Everyone will have their own unique method to stay on course but there are some questions you will need to ask yourself frequently, in order to stay on track.

So, here they are. The 3 Critical Questions you need to frequently ask yourself:

I. Am I doing the right things in the right order?

This is really a question of two halves. Am I doing the RIGHT things? And am I doing them in the RIGHT order?

To figure out whether you’re doing the right things, you need to look at the action, then look at the outcome. I’ve talked about this in my blog post How to stop worrying and start doing…

“You need to look back at what you have achieved and acknowledge your progress. If you keep note of what you’re achieving each day, you’ll also be able to analyze what the most productive actions were, meaning you have a better picture of where to focus your efforts the following day.”

So, the first step is to make sure you’re doing the RIGHT things that pave the way to achievement.

To figure out whether you’re doing them in the right order, you need to look at your attention to detail, your energy levels, and how efficient your progress is in relation to your to-do list.

Hopefully, your to-do list will already be broken down into manageable sub-tasks. The trick is to then prioritize these tasks into how simple they are AND how much impact they will have.

 …the 80/20 rule asserts that 80% of your result will be dictated by 20% of your input. And so, identifying the 20% of tasks that will lead to the greatest achievements helps you sustain focus and prioritize what’s most valuable in terms of your goal (and therefore the most productive use of your time).” Read More Here

You’ll want to get that one thing you keep putting off done first. Eat that frog, as they say. Get it out of the way and you’ll feel much more energized and ready to tackle the other stuff.

If you’re finding your attention to detail is waning, this is often due to context switching. Make sure you batch tasks of a similar nature together, so you can maintain focus and not get distracted by the next thing on your list.

Finally, work WITH your energy levels. If you’re feeling especially productive and motivated, use that energy to check a few more things off your list. It’ll put you one step ahead of yourself and allow the opportunity to do less when your energy levels dictate it.
