53. "ADHD is Awesome" Book: Surprising Insights

Her Next Chapters

In honor of ADHD Awareness Month in October, I took the time to listen to "ADHD is Awesome" by Penn and Kim Holderness. One of my kids was diagnosed not too long ago, and being a fan of the Holderness Family, I knew their book would be both entertaining and useful.
I wasn't disappointed. I was surprised however by how much I personally identified with so many ADHD symptoms, especially with my current life changes. Becoming an entrepreneur leaves me to set my own schedule (which I love!) and combined with becoming a (semi-empty) nester with no kids in K-12 education, the rythyms and structure of daily life have changed significantly this past year.
I don't have a diagnosis of ADHD, but I found several strategies that Penn and Kim talked about to be immediately useful. From focusing on making one change at a time, to gamifying an activity (think: beat the clock), to having small, immediate rewards, I've already put these into practice for myself and will be sharing them with my kiddo and ADHD friends.
