3. Use Your Resources
There are many tools available for someone interested in resolving to tackle ADHD in the New Year. From kitchen timers to elaborate apps that keep you on task, there are a variety of solutions for your needs.
If you need reminders that it is time to end one activity and move on to next, a timer might be a helpful tool. If you need incentives to stay focused on the current task, consider making a playlist that lasts for the amount of time you want to dedicate to the task. As long as the music is playing, you will be devoted to the assignment.
If auditory alarms are not effective, you may benefit from a piece of wearable technology that vibrates as a means of alert. Tools to improve your symptoms are available as long as you have the creativity and willingness to experiment.
The best jobs for people with ADHD involve at least one of the following elements: creativity, interest, urgency and rewarding challenges.
