How Can I Focus So Well on One Thing, and Have Such A Hard Time Focusing on Another . . . even when I know they both are important?: Thomas Brown space out Marcia Hoeck jacqui sinfield focus environment brain ADHD ADD Did you listen to our interview with Dr.Thomas E. Brown? It was fascinating!

Dr. Brown sent Marcia and me both a copy of his new book, “A New Understanding of ADHD in Children and Adults: Executive Function Impairments,” which is packed full of great information – especially the new science behind your ADHD.

During the interview we learned about:

  • Why people think ADHD is about not trying hard enough, and the scientific reasons why it’s not about willpower

It’s got nothing to do with effort! Dr. Brown explains this misunderstanding arose because ADDers can focus and concentrate on things they enjoy, yet can’t on things that are boring to them. It has nothing to do with willpower or effort and everything to do with brain chemistry.

  • ADHD meds

Why and how they help
Why they make some people feel “different”
Why they get bad press
How to find a knowledgeable doctor in your area to prescribe the right meds and dosage for you

Flew from Montreal to Detroit. It was a painless flight, no delays or hold ups . . . even my suitcase got there safely.

6 pm
Marcia met me at the Detroit airport and we ran errands. We bought gifts for our retreat participants as well as water and tons of apples for refreshments. We both were excited, because our first ever live event was just days away after 6 months of planning!!

8 pm
Arrived at Marcia’s home and I saw Todd (Marcia’s husband) for the first time after his quadruple bypass heart surgery. Despite it only being 6 days after the operation he was doing really well. I also got to see [Read more...]

5 Ways You May Stop Clients from Seeing the Value in What You Do

5 Ways You May Stop Clients from Seeing the Value in What You Do: Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield getting paid what Im worth clients value work ADHD & business ADHD ADD

5 Ways You May Stop Clients from Seeing the Value in What You Do: Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield getting paid what Im worth clients value work ADHD & business ADHD ADD Do your clients truly value your work, allowing you to charge what you’re worth, and trusting you to do more for them?

You may think you’re describing your work’s true value in conversations with clients and prospective clients, when you’re really not. Your clients may not be getting it.

If you’re not able to charge what you’d like to, it may be because you’re not communicating well enough — and if that’s the case, you can’t blame them for not knowing.

It’s not your clients, it’s you

This takes digging and thinking and putting some meat on the bones of how you talk to clients. It may be more you, than them.

Take a look at these five ways you may be talking about your work that stop clients from seeing how valuable you are:

1.) You may be doing work you don’t believe in

If you’re not well placed in your work or if you’ve chosen the wrong niche — if you really want to be a dog trainer instead of the copywriter you are (but you became a copywriter because it seemed more sensible, or your parents wanted you to be a copywriter) — it’s going to [Read more...]

Why Celebrating is Vital as an ADHD Biz Owner

Why Celebrating is Vital as an ADHD Biz Owner : success self talk Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield celebrating success ADHD ADD

Why Celebrating is Vital as an ADHD Biz Owner : success self talk Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield celebrating success ADHD ADD Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard brain scientist, was just 37 years old when she suffered a stroke. It took her 8 years to make a full recovery and she documented the process in the book,  My Stroke of Insight. Jill had to learn all the basics again, like how to sit up, walk, talk, and feed herself.

This inspirational book has some amazing pearls of wisdom. One is to celebrate EVERY achievement, no matter what the size. I would love all business owners with ADHD to  adopt this principle.

Jill didn’t say, “Oh, I can sit up on my own now, big deal, I could do that when I was one year old.” That would have been discouraging after all the mental and [Read more...]

How to Get Your Brain’s Attention: Give it Marching Orders

How to Get Your Brains Attention: Give it Marching Orders: working with ADHD Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield brain fog attention ADHD ADD

How to Get Your Brains Attention: Give it Marching Orders: working with ADHD Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield brain fog attention ADHD ADD So there you are, another morning with brain fog. There’s that important project you know you should be working on, but you can’t get through to your brain about actually working on it.

Yes, you know what you should do. And you know how to do it. But you just can’t get your brain to go along with you.

Here is one of my favorite ways to work with your ADHD (instead of fighting against it) to get your brain to pay attention:

Step 1. When you notice that you’re drifting or have that “mired in mud” feeling and just cannot do the thing you know you should be doing, or, you watch yourself getting involved in something else you can “get out of the way quickly,” which of course is just procrastination -- the very moment you notice it, STAND UP. If you’re already standing up, take a step back, shake your arms, and stand at attention.

Step 2. From there, give yourself marching orders. Whatever it is you should be doing, say it out loud, as if placing an order with [Read more...]

Look! Squirrel! How to Stop, Find Direction, and Get Things Done : productivity overwhelm Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield get focus focus ADHD ADD It can be so frustrating. You’ve worked so hard to get your business to the point it’s at now. You’ve invested time, money, blood, sweat, and tears. Your business idea is sound, your experience is solid, and there is no doubt in your mind that the work you do gets results and helps people a great deal.

Yet often, without warning, you’re spinning out of control.

You’re overwhelmed. Or stuck, anxious, unable to focus or really do anything productive. Or you just feel like you’re in nowhere land.

You procrastinate because you don’t know how or where to start, or what to fix. You know you need to find a way to stop this crazy cycle and focus on your work.

We talked about how you can do just that in our no-cost training class,

Start the New Year with Positive Changes to Your ADHD Health: Marcia Hoeck Jacqueline Sinfield healthy ADHD habits change habits ADHD self care ADHD health ADHD ADD The start of a New Year usually brings an enthusiasm to look at yourself, your life, and your business. You can reflect back and see what is working, what isn’t, and make some positive changes. While there’s a lot of research to show that New Year’s resolutions don’t work, there’s also plenty of evidence that creating habits and setting goals DO work.

Make an easy change

Instead of making New Year’s resolutions this year, why not make some positive changes using goals and habits in your life? If you aren’t sure what area to address, I suggest starting [Read more...]
