Dear Friend,

I have tons of great stuff to tell you about today, including that big announcement that I've been alluding to for weeks! Let's start there...

 

BIG Announcement: Virtual AD/HD Conference™

Okay, for weeks now I've been teasing you about a big announcement that I've been wanting to share. I promised that it would include the top experts in the world of AD/HD, and that everyone would want to know about it. Well, here it is:

Have you ever wanted to attend an AD/HD conference, but hesitated over the time, travel, and costs involved? Do you wish there was an easier way to learn from the experts and network with your AD/HD peers? Now there is!

We here at the ADD Management Group have teamed up with Terry Matlen at ADD Consults to sponsor the 1st Annual Virtual AD/HD Conference™! This unique event offers all the benefits of a physical conference, plus it's super affordable and ultra convenient.

The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ is scheduled for this September, and we already have over 20 of the top AD/HD experts lined up, including authors:

    • Edward Hallowell, M.D.
    • Daniel Amen, M.D.
    • Sari Solden, M.S., L.M.F.T.
    • John Ratey, M.D.
    • Patricia Quinn, M.D.
    • Plus many other top doctors, therapists, psychologists, counselors, and coaches!

Terry and I have been working very hard to create an event that far exceeds your expectations. Our website is not up yet, but you can look for an email in the next week or two with an "official" announcement.

For now, consider yourself one of the very first people to hear about the Virtual AD/HD Conference™!

Top 5 Time Management Tips for Adults with ADD

In the spirit of the Time Management Masters Seminar, here are my Top 5 Time Management Tips for Adults with ADD:

  1. Take 15 minutes every single day to plan your schedule. A small investment in planning goes a long way towards reducing stress and overwhelm.

  2. Always keep a to-do list. Your to-do list is your friend. It helps you keep track of all those tasks that are so easily forgotten.

  3. Pay attention to your biorhythms. Work with your natural energy levels instead of trying to change them.

  4. Schedule down time and relaxation. Self-care is one of the first things to be sacrificed when things get busy.

  5. Don't give up when you get overwhelmed. It's normal to fall off track every now and then. Don't beat yourself up. Do recharge and resume steps 1-4 as soon as possible.

 

Have a great day!

 

All My Best ,
