Everything’s going so well! At least it has been for the last week or so. I’ve been keeping my house tidier than usual, keeping up with some regular chores, and even taking on some organizing projects. I feel great! But a small part of me is dreading when this burst of motivation goes away again.

It finally happens. You have some time to get things done. And, even better, you have a little bit of motivation to get started.
But there’s so much to do! What do you do first?

Everything feels like it needs to be done. You start to feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. That feeling of overwhelm is too much, and before you know it your motivation is gone. You end up wasting time and feeling guilty about all the things you could have done. Sound familiar?

For the last six years, I have been on a personal development journey. I love reading and listening to books about behavior modification, productivity, time management, and basically anything that makes me feel like I can “get my life together.” Results always seemed out of reach.

Monday was the first day of school! My youngest is still at home, but I have 3 school-aged children, so the house is much quieter than what I’m used to. I love it!

This is the first school year since I began effective treatment for my ADHD (meds and coaching,) and I’m so excited for the relief that has given me.

I can remember when I first thought, “Oh wow, I think I have ADHD.” I was listening to one of my favorite comedy podcasts, Judge John Hodgman. I did not expect my whole life to change while listening to this fun and lighthearted show!
