When I first coached Ann to add structure, such as planning and routines, to her day, she was afraid it would take away her creativity and flexibility.
ADHD was taking its toll on Ann’s business and her personal life. She was distracted, disorganized, and discouraged. Last week, during a coaching call, Ann, one of my clients, told me how structure helped her fend off disorganization. Structure allows things to flow smoothly and keeps things under control when life hits a bumpy patch. Otherwise you’ll go flitting through life forgetting this, neglecting that, and procrastinating on everything else.
If you want to have a successful day with attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD), you must add structure to your life.
