When it comes to following through on good intentions, it can be even harder for someone with ADHD. We all have moments when getting sidetracked can be all too easy, but when you have ADHD, you may find yourself struggling to focus and stay on track, no matter how hard you try. Organization and deadlines can be a nightmare for someone with ADHD, as the brain is wired to take in so much information and can struggle to prioritize tasks and stay organized. The problem is, if you don’t have a plan of action and a system to follow, it can become difficult to focus and make progress. But with the right mindset and daily practice, anyone can learn how to stay organized and on task - even someone with ADHD. It’s a matter of understanding what is needed to stay focused, making a plan, and setting realistic goals to help you stay on track. The key is to break down tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks, create a schedule to keep track of deadlines and make sure to set yourself reminders. It may sound simple, but it can make a world of difference. Having strong internal motivation is also a must. It’s not easy to stay on track when you have ADHD, but by reminding yourself why you are doing a task or working towards a goal and focusing on the bigger picture, you can be more successful in following through. Good intentions don’t always produce good follow-through for someone with ADHD, but it is possible to stay organized and focused if you are willing to make an effort. All it takes is a plan, a system, and a strong internal motivation to keep on track. Learn more about John Cordray at johncordray.com
