There are a lot of things I could write about. That’s part of my problem in getting something written. Each idea is like a shiny object. And, they all seem to spin a bit like a mobile. I asked for help from my mastermind group yesterday, and came up with a plan – and accountability. I’ll spend no more than an hour on a post. And, it will be completed and sent to my VA within that hour.

We do have a lot to say. I know I do. And, how can I get it to you if I allow myself to simply spin my ideas around in my head. I heard another ADHD coach say this, “My trouble is I come up with an idea, or two or three etc. And I figure it out in my head”. (You know that double edge sword of being able to see the big picture). The outcome for her was, “Once I know the ending, it’s like reading a book, why bother with the middle”.

I can tell her why bother… because there are plenty of people out there that could benefit from illumination of the path, that middle part that might seem tedious or mundane. I believe she would benefit from having a structure that would hold her attention through completion. And, that’s what I’ve given myself.

Need to get something written? Put some structure around it. For me knowing I’ve given myself an hour to complete this post, somehow (and it is a mystery to me that I really don’t need to solve) I’m staying on track. I’m focused. In a way this post is writing itself. This isn’t as difficult as I could make it. With my last post (the first one I did this way) I actually took an hour and a half. (Hey, they’re my rules). I’ll tell you though; I was kind of digging in my heels. Lock me in and I’m feeling pulled to kick down the door. What a waste of time.

Got a goal? Come up with a way to accomplish it. And, then, and this is key, trust that what you came up with will work. And, take action. If you don’t like the results, they’re your rules, your methods, change them. Make them fit you. And, or, look down at your feet. Are they flat on the floor? Or, are you making dents in it with your heels. Relax; settle your feet on the ground. (One solid on the ground is okay if you just have to cross your legs). And, try again. What you come up with, trust. I haven’t talked a lot about intuition. And, you’ll find as a creative, ADHD woman, it can be one of your most valuable assets!

And, I’m done in 40 minutes! Time left to review, edit and get it to Agnes, my VA. I’d thought I was going to talk to you about the virtues of having a VA. (Well that was one of the shiny topics in my head). And, believe me I will tell you. Agnes has been one of the greatest blessings I’ve had in a long time. I’m tempted to keep going. And, you may just see some shiny object. So, I really am done now, for now.

I do want to invite your comments, thoughts, and requests. Shoot me an email or comment here on this post. What would you like to hear about? What aren’t you finding help with as you search the Internet? I’d love to hear from you.
