Thank you for being honest about that, Leila. I don’t have specific advice for ADHD, but I’d say start with the one or two ideas that did land for you and ignore the rest.
Great article as always...I am glad that I have been proud of many of these off lately and have learnt to develop them as an inseparable habit!! Thanks for being the becon
I do not leave any pending issues behind, I consider myself 100% resolute (huge spectrum though, from the tiniest and seemingly useless, to the utmost relevant). Secondly, I love gifts, but they make me feel extraordinarily happy just when I deliver them; I mean, giving away not only presents, but also time and empathy.
Yesssss. And it automatically takes me to your recent newsletter about the different stages of energy, and how to invest in it. Because spending time and practicing empathy with a relative, is definitely a break, and why is not that good?
"I think our biggest regrets usually come from the things we were too afraid to do." This takes me back to the colleagues I talked with over coffee in my years at Procter & Gamble. Those of them who were looking for a way out were actually waiting for the company to give them a package. Many are still waiting. Most took the package and moved into another job, and I wonder how many still feel the same. When I decided to leave and give air to my entrepreneurial fire, they thought I was crazy for leaving money on the table. Leaving that money was the fear. Staying would have been the regret.
the daily-movement one is easy to underrate. it's the base the other eight stand on: keep one small promise to yourself each day and the self-trust to do the harder stuff follows. the money scoreboard never pays that part out.
Thank you for this article. I did appreciate it. I started reading , hoping it would help an adult ; 46 years old with ADHD.
In total I don’t think it does. There are parts that does.
Any words of wisdom? If so it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for what you do.
Leila.

Glad to hear it, shashi. Turning them into habits is the whole point.
Love,pride,trust,understanding,respect, knowledge, loyalty , change,progress, evolving
That's a solid list, DeeJae. Thanks for adding to it.

The part about giving away time and empathy, not just presents, is what makes it stick.

Exactly. Time with people you love counts as recovery too, not just being idle.

“Leaving that money was the fear. Staying would have been the regret.” That’s the whole article in one line, Luigi.

Well said. Self-trust compounds the same way money does, just nobody’s tracking it.
Really liked it and started thinking about how i can use this as a checklist from time to time. thank you.
Glad it’s useful, Ravi. That’s exactly how I’d use it too.
