We ADDers are at a disadvantage from the get-go, so we have no business adding more troubles to our plate. But we do.
There are many things we do TO ourselves – or don’t do FOR ourselves – that either make our ADHD worse, or just make it seem worse. Which are pretty much the same things.
ADHD/productivity coach and ADD Crusher™ creator Alan P. Brown will share 10 such things, exactly how they makes things worse, and shows you how to fix them.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand key dynamics of the ADHD brain that contribute to self-sabotage.
- Learn about a range of common, often daily, activities and behaviors that effectively make our ADHD worse that it needs to be.
- Learn simple ways to steer clear of or correct these activities/behaviors.

Wow. Excellent stuff and presentation. Thank you so much. I was really struck by the #7 area about worrying. So many “monkey mind” worries can plague my through process. I’ve recently given more energy and purposeful attention to being in the “now”. Ya, I know it sounds fu-fu, but it has really helped with this #7 topic.
Being in the now for me looks like this: instead of walking into the kitchen and thinking, crap, the dishwasher is clean and my job it to empty it, I immediately tap into what it feels like to “walk in the kitchen”, lighting, aromas, temperature, etc. I then open the dishwasher and tap into what it feels like to pull out the bottom tray and start removing the clean dishes, noticing the bending down to get the dishes, how does my body feel, organizing what dishes I’m removing first, standing up (how does my body feel), where does this item go on the shelf, and that process continues. Before I know it, the dishwasher is empty and my negative energy about “crap, the dishwasher is clean…etc.” was crowded out by my “now” attention to the surroundings and the physical movement to accomplish the task.
Recently read a book, (sorry I don’t have the title, author) that basically said, one reason to being present in the moment or the “now” as we do our tasks is that chance are “you’re going to do it anyway”. Meaning, since your going to do it anyway, why not live the experience to the full and oh by the way…#7 becomes less of a pattern.
Again, thank you so much for the presentation. Really appreciate your suggestions.
