Show Notes:

ADHD can pull your attention into endless future possibilities.

Thinking about tomorrow can make you feel great about what you’re doing today.

Focusing on creating great yesterdays keeps you grounded in the present.

Staying focused on creating a great yesterday helps you avoid feeling bothered by what you can’t control.

We never actually experience the future.

We can only act on the future when it shows up as the present.

Don’t let yourself get upset about something you can’t do anything about.

Stay in charge of your experience instead of letting situations be in charge.

Focusing on creating great yesterdays keeps you from getting worn out by the future.

Writing down what you do throughout the day anchors the experience.

Being conscious about the activities you’re doing has its own reward.
