Hey everyone, good afternoon. I'm Susan Coffin here for Attitude

magazines weekly ADHD experts webinar broadcast. Our topic today is

for adults with ADHD and our speaker is Jeff Copper and the ADHD coach and the host and founder of attention talk radio.

ADHD brains are forever seeking stimulation and when we are really interested in something

suddenly the executive function of our brains works really really well.

But when we're bored all bets are off and it can literally sap a person's motivation to continue.

So Jeff Coppers going to talk about today how to transform your boredom into

motivation into engagement and into action.

Including such topics as how to find elements of interest

even in a boring job.

And using those to make progress,

how to keep your mind engaged

by keeping your body active even when you're behind a desk

and how to chunk up the really boring stuff so that it flies by faster.

Jeff, thanks again for joining us.
