i’ve been working on a new tag line for my business card. What do you think about this?
“Helping adults with ADHD get a LITLE BIT more productive, so they can do SOME of the things they love and feel LESS SHITTY about themselves.”
Am I underselling?? Maybe so. But a lot of us need a pretty low bar to get started. My ADHD is part of who I am, so let’s be honest….. I’m never going to be the world’s most productive person. I don’t even want to be! But life will be easier if I’m just a little bit more productive. If I use some simple strategies to make things go more smoothly.
And as much as I’d love to follow every passion and interest I have, my time is only gong to allow me to do SOME of those things. And that’s okay! The important thing is to carve out even just a little bit of time so that we can be intentional about doing the things that really bring us joy.
And if I make some subtle shifts and get some steady support….. I can feel LESS SHITTY about myself. Let’s face it. There will still be days that don’t go the way I want. Days where my productivity is off and I don’t feel great about myself. But I can be intentional about remembering the positive things. I can remember that my ADHD traits are not character flaws. I can give myself some grace. And I can feel less shitty about myself.
For a lot of us ….. that is a big win.
