Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as always. @Randi: I'm SO glad these posts have been helpful! I know what it's like to be where your son is. Actually, having ADHD has many advantages, you just have to adjust your perspective accordingly and harness the benefits. And Daisy is GREAT for advise like this. She know what she's talking about. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. Eric @Vincent: That’s a great way to break it up, Vincent. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as always.

My son's teacher thinks he is suffering from ADHD and I am trying to learn everything I can on the condition. We are trying to avoid the medication route if at all possible. I just received some excellent advice from Daisy at Namas Daisy and it goes right along with what you are saying--break down tasks into smaller pieces, eat better foods, etc. Between the two of you, you have been lifesavers for me recently. Thanks for opening up about yourself so that others may be helped. <abbr><em>Randi’s last blog post..<a href="http://foreignquang.blogspot.com/2009/01/sweet-love-of-mine.html" rel="nofollow">Sweet Love of Mine</a></abbr></em> These ADHD articles came at a perfect time for me.

One bite at a time" That is definitely a sound advice for everyone. When we have our tasks too huge, it can be overwhelming that cause us to give up doing it. "Write a book in a day" "Write a paragraph in a day" Which is easier? Definitely writing a paragraph a day will be easier and we are more likely to be able to accomplish it. Great article Eric! Cheers Vincent Personal Development Blogger <abbr><em>Vincent’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.healthmoneysuccess.com/677/how-to-have-good-sleeping-habits/" rel="nofollow">10 Tips To Help You Sleep Better</a></abbr></em> Hey Eric,

“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time”

That is definitely a sound advice for everyone. When we have our tasks too huge, it can be overwhelming that cause us to give up doing it.

“Write a book in a day”
“Write a paragraph in a day”

Which is easier? Definitely writing a paragraph a day will be easier and we are more likely to be able to accomplish it.

Great article Eric!

Cheers

To me. doing what you love is my prime motivator. If you love your work, the line blurs between work and fun. Also liked your comment on eating dessert before your veggies. Like you, I get "distracted" easily - keeping your eye on the goal can definitely keep you motivated. I have a bulletin board on which are photos of some of the goals I would like to accomplish (like a secluded house on the beach). Keeps me moving... Great points in this post!
