In honor of ADHD Awareness Month in October, I took the time to listen to "ADHD is Awesome" by Penn and Kim Holderness. One of my kids was diagnosed not too long ago, and being a fan of the Holderness Family, I knew their book would be both entertaining and useful.
I wasn't disappointed. I was surprised however by how much I personally identified with so many ADHD symptoms, especially with my current life changes. Becoming an entrepreneur leaves me to set my own schedule (which I love!) and combined with becoming a (semi-empty) nester with no kids in K-12 education, the rythyms and structure of daily life have changed significantly this past year.
I don't have a diagnosis of ADHD, but I found several strategies that Penn and Kim talked about to be immediately useful. From focusing on making one change at a time, to gamifying an activity (think: beat the clock), to having small, immediate rewards, I've already put these into practice for myself and will be sharing them with my kiddo and ADHD friends.
If you are interested in getting a copy of the book, you can grab it HERE.

Oh - it's also Chocolate Appreciation week (Oct 14-20, 2024). You're welcome!
