Feeling constantly anxious, unable to calm down and the attention span of a mouse on meth are the common symptoms of ADHD. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common disorders affecting people today. Children with such a disorder have a different and unique learning abilities. The inability of society around them to understand their condition ends them being the ‘naughty kids’. Self-esteem and self-confidence become a regular problem.

3. Creative Surge

ADHD patients actually tend to be able to be more creatively inclined than most other people. Out of the box thinking is one of their specialties. In the world of business and PR that’s basically a superpower.

4. Clear Your Mind

Get rid of all the annoying distractions (and there will be many) which will affect your attention span and reduce productivity. To avoid the pitfalls of not being able to focus, toss all the distractions that are competing with what you need to do.

5. Inner Peace

Achieving Zen is not just for the funny Kung-Fu masters on TV. Taking stress is a major problem you will face. The bar for frustration is a lot lower for people with ADHD than for others. Figure out the things that can relax you and give you peace in your life. Without that peace you’ll go to pieces quicker than others. Being mindful and practicing biofeedback can help. Try taking breaks and go outdoors in between your work.

6. Create a Box of Valuables

One problem ADHD patients suffer from quite a bit is often misplacing important things and forgetting about them. Make a habit to collect all of the key things you’ll need for your next work day in a basket or box next to your door. You will feel more confident and at peace because you’ll have all the essential items right at your fingertips.

7. Don’t Let Ideas Run Away With You

One thing you’ll face often is getting bombarded by many great ideas inside you head…

Focus on a few key ideas or go through the things you would like to do one by one. Trying to handle multiple divergent ideas inside your head all at once is a recipe for chaos. You might try writing down whatever comes to you, but be organized about your own mind so you don’t become your own worst enemy.

In conclusion all we can say is: who said ADHD was going to set you back in achieving your goals?
