This is the show designed to help those of us who have really good intentions and a slightly

wandering attention. Whether you have ADHD and you want to learn more about it,

or you are looking for ways to organize your time, your things,

or in many details of life so you can get more done, this show is for you.

My name is Eric Tivers.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker, coach and consultant. and oh yeah, I have ADHD.

Okay, welcome to episode number two.

I am recording this on February 13th.

So when I was thinking about what do I want episode at number two to be about?

I have a number of different ideas that I have mapped out already and you

know one of the things that I want to be really clear with on this show is I want to be very authentic and very transparent with my own ADHD.

One of the behaviors that I often struggle with, one of the things that I have to struggle with, which is very common in ADHD is sleep. I, for the amount of

effort and attention that I put into trying to get good sleep and maintain healthy sleep behaviors and

sleep hygiene. I seem to not make the traction that I look for or make the progress that I'm looking for when it comes to sleep.

That being said, over the past year I've made huge improvements and whenever I'm having a week like I am this week where I'm not doing so hot on my sleep goals.

You know, I do things like I'm doing right now where I'm kind of losing my turn to thought.

One of the things that I kind of get down to myself on is why am I not making progress on this goal?

And the thing is I have made a lot of progress on this goal.

I used to go to bed on average somewhere between 1130 was a good night.

I often wouldn't go to bed between one and two.

And over the past year or so, really the past year,

I have gotten that to, I'm going to bed between 1030 to 11 on most nights. However, this week has not been one of those weeks.
