Why hitting the pause button is mission critical for busy adults with ADHD

from Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with ADHD, ADD

Many busy adults with ADHD, and maybe you are one of them, feel like they can't catch their breath, and they go day-to-day and week-to-week trying to get everything done. This is especially common in the workplace but also happens in our personal lives. There is one foundational strategy that can help busy adults with ADHD lower stress levels and that is hitting the pause button and slowing down, even if it is for a few minutes. However, many of us either don't do it or don't know how to hit that internal pause button. When we practice pausing on a regular basis, those of us with adult ADHD can change the game. We can lower our stress; we can make productivity more fulfilling, and make fewer mistakes. Join Dave as he talks about one of his favorite things to do. Hitting the pause button! **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one? Go to www.overcomingdistractions.com and book an introductory Zoom chat.
