Adults with ADHD-Name Your Distractions!

David A Greenwood
About this episode

We're talking about distractions in this podcast. And if you can't name them, then you can't deal with them.

If you are a busy adult with ADHD, distractions are coming at you all day long. You're distracted at home, and distractions are most likely entering your professional life in some way.

But the only way we can conquer our distractions is by self-awareness and owning them. Only then can we work towards minimizing distractions as adults with ADHD.

This podcast is meant just to give you a brief checklist of some of the main distractions you know you're dealing with already. Dave wants to get you thinking about how you can minimize distractions.

So if you have forgotten what's distracting you, let Dave remind you in this two-part podcast.
