If you're reading this, you're likely impacted by ADHD and are looking for relief. Your focus is likely on foraging to find a tip, trick, or strategy. Those who are new to it will likely keep foraging. For those of you who realize you’ve been foraging for a long time but haven't found what you are looking for, it's time to PAUSE. This episode of Attention Talk Radio is being brought to you by CHADD (www.chadd.org) and Cathy Rashidian (www.readysetchoose.com) who is releasing her interview with ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) on her podcast, “Proudly at Work and in Business” (http://proudlyadhd.readysetchoose.com).

If you have been foraging but haven’t found life-changing tips, tricks, or strategies, please invest the time to listen

In simple terms how our mind is set up to think is a mindset. Mindsets are efficient ways to filter our world.

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks with ADHD coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactparents.com) about ADHD and why there are times when those with ADHD should use paper (i.e., paper notebooks don't have tempting links) instead of other digital interactions.

Research has well established that childhood ADHD predisposes to increased risks for impairment in educational, family, peer, and eventual occupational functioning by young adulthood, among many other major domains of life activities. Less appreciated is that ADHD also predisposes to increased health, medical, and dental risks, such as an increased risk for accidental injuries as well as suicide across the lifespan. But ADHD also predisposes to certain personality traits and lifestyle choices that have a significant impact on these health-related factors. Such risks and impairments are known to influence estimated life expectancy. Dr. Russell Barkley (www.russellbarkley.org) describes the various health and lifestyle domains of major life activities that have been found to be significantly impaired in children growing up with ADHD by their young adult years, how ADHD adversely affects health outcomes and how such outcomes may have a substantial detriment on estimated life expectancy by young adulthood, and im

It has been said those with ADHD know what to do, but they struggle to do what they know to do.
