Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Good afternoon everyone is Susan's Susan Crawford for Attitude magazine. Our

guest today is Beth Main. She is going to speak on the topic of how to stay on time

and on task when you have attention deficit disorder.

Beth is an ADHD coach. She's been working for many years helping people develop

systems and strategies and skills to overcome ADHD. Like many of us, she was diagnosed

after her son was diagnosed with ADHD in second grade. She recognized herself in all the symptoms.

And she's got some great tips for us today. She

writes frequently for Attitude magazine and her website which I would urge you all

to consult is ADHD solutions.net. With that I'll insult is 80, easy-H-D Solutions.

With that, I'll turn it over to Beth

to give an introduction and then we'll start the Q&A.

Thanks so much.

Thanks, Susan.

I'm really happy to be with you today.

So staying on task. I'm really happy to be with you today.

So staying on task, it starts with deciding what you're going to do,

being intentional with how you're spending your time.

You can't make good choices about what you're going to do

if you don't know what your choices are.

So what you need is a good task management system or a to-do list that has everything on it,

everything you've ever committed to doing. Trying to keep stuff in your head is distracting.
