Practicing Selectivity and Productivity
One of the challenges for people with ADHD is that we tend to have too many things going on. We say “yes” often before we think about it. We agree to do one more thing or take on one more project, particularly when the project is interesting. Often, we are the people who initiate the project. Then we get inundated with all the deadlines and dates and expectations. We procrastinate and switch back and forth between projects and commitments. We fail to come through or take forever to do something we promised. Sometimes we back out or beg off. Yet, that usually does not stop us from digging that hole and jumping in at the earliest opportunity.

From the Blue Depths
My absence here for so long is not because I had nothing to write about. Rather it is an over-abundance of possible posts which resulted in stalling each time I clicked to the home page. So, after about ten possibles to write about rolling over and over through the brain this week I am simply sitting here and letting my fingers take charge. Consider that a disclaimer and quit while you can still escape. It may be a rant or an extended ramble.
I think I will continue on a theme of some previous posts and write about what I think of as rising from the blue depths. It is a metaphor from the days of diving while living in Guam. I loved diving. While diving I felt free and graceful more alive… Continue reading
