1 Week Left to Register for ADD Clutter Busters Workgroup! (Plus Some Other Spring Cleaning Solutions)

I did a little dance when I noticed the first patch of green grass poking through on the lawn this week. Spring is finally here!

And with Spring comes 'Spring Cleaning.' I used to dread Spring cleaning. De-cluttering the house and getting everything organized was just one big stressor waiting to overwhelm this ADDer.

But now I actually look forward to Spring Cleaning. It no longer seems like an impossible feat. That's because I've learned that Spring Cleaning, de-cluttering, and organizing doesn't have to be difficult. I just have to have a solid, ADD-friendly plan to achieve my goals.

De-cluttering and organizing are topics that I've been coaching ADDers on for over 6 years, so trust me when I tell you that you CAN learn how to overcome these challenges, and even look forward to Spring Cleaning. All you need is a plan, and a willingness to try some new strategies.

Here at the ADD Management Group, we offer a few different solutions to help you de-clutter and get organized, no matter what your budget.

STOP: Mindfulness Meditation for Adult ADD

Mindfulness meditation is a powerful tool for managing adult ADD. Mindfulness is all about being (and staying) calm, centered, and in the present moment. This practice can go a long way towards fighting stress and overwhelm.

Unlike other forms of meditation, mindfulness doesn't require sitting still for long periods of time, although it certainly is ONE way to practice. Because mindfulness is about being aware in the present moment, mindfulness can be formally practiced while walking, eating, cleaning, or even working.

It's also very helpful to craft an informal mindfulness practice that you use as a tool during times of stress. Mindfulness can be cultivated any time and anywhere by simply bringing awareness to your breath, your body, and your thoughts...without judgment.

When cultivating a mindfulness practice, simply STOP:   

        Slow down.
        Take a few deep breaths.
        Observe yourself without judgment.
        Proceed in the present moment.

Mindfulness meditation has been an invaluable tool for me and for many of my clients, and I highly encourage all adults with ADD to give it a try! Thirty minutes, fifteen minutes, or even five minutes of daily mindfulness will have a positive and calming ripple effect on the rest of your day.

And if you'd like to read more about mindfulness, then I highly recommend the books The Miracle of Mindfulness and Being Peace by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Ready To Take a Maverick Approach to Time Management?

When it comes to time management for adults with ADD, the maverick approach is more important than ever!

In the Time Management Masters Seminar that begins on Tuesday, I'll lead you step-by-step through the creation of your own personal time management system.

I'll give you the guidelines, and you'll customize them according to your own needs. In this Seminar, you'll:

• Custom-create a to-do list that works for you
• Discover the various time management tools that are available, and find out how to pick the right tools for you
• Determine your "pillars of structure" and plan around them
• Create a system for managing "all those great ideas" that you come up with, but never have time for
• Develop flexible structure based on your natural biorhythms and energy levels

This Seminar is NOT for everyone. Time management is a difficult skill to build, and not every adult with ADD is ready to (or wants to) take on the challenge.

This Seminar IS for adults with ADD who are ready and willing to:

• Be open to new ideas and strategies
• Spend time and energy developing and practicing new skills
• Create a practical--and permanent--time management system
• Embrace a maverick approach to time management!

"I just want to thank you for your Time Management System. It is fantastic to, for the first time, take a course about Time Management, made FOR ADDers BY an ADDer. It really makes all the difference in the world...

...this is something that recognizes and respects our ADD challenges, and utilizes our ADD strengths!"

Alan Blowstein
New Jersey

The Seminar begins this Tuesday, so don't wait to register!

If you're ready to embrace your inner maverick and break the rules of time management, then I hope you'll join us!

Register here.

Just 4 Spots Left in the Next Coaching Program - Begins September 9th!

Who says you have to be just like everyone else in order to be happy and successful?

The Odd One Out Coaching Program is a rare opportunity to learn how to work with your ADD and let your inner maverick loose!

In this program, I'll personally teach you how to build your ADD management skills and move forward in life.

Because the group will be small, we’ll  have a unique opportunity to get to know each other. We'll have plenty of time to go over materials and strategies, and still help each person individually. In my experience as a coach, this is a winning formula for success.

You learn from the materials presented, you learn from the challenges and successes of your peers, and you get a personal coaching boost to help you maximize your new knowledge and skills!

Specifically, we'll be focusing on:

• Breaking the cycle of overwhelm, which means spending less time feeling burnt out and stressed out, and spending more time feeling calm, centered, and productive.


• Increasing focus and concentration, which means improving your ability to pay attention when you need to.


• Identifying and building on your strengths, which means growing your self-esteem instead of focusing on your weaknesses.


• Using simple and effective time management tools, which means managing your time more efficiently.


• Organizing in an ADD-friendly way,  which means spending less time and energy managing your physical spaces at home and at work.


• Working towards  life goals, which means moving beyond day-to-day living by adding elements of fun and creativity to your life.


• Making your own rules in life, which means embracing the maverick within you in order to be happy and successful!

The group  meets via teleclass for 6 sessions on Tuesday evenings beginning September 9th, and resources will be available online throughout the duration of the program.

There are currently 4 spaces left in the program, which has sold out every time it's been offered. This session will be no exception, so don't delay if you'd like to join us!
