You’re working hard to learn and grow, to discover new things and be a better person, right? But in that process, how do you catalog and internalize all things you’re learning so that you’ll be able to recall them later and use them when you need them most … even when you don’t know when that will be? This week on the show we’re talking all about organizing our learning — books, classes, podcasts, conferences, and more. Whether you’re a digital or binder person, we’ve got something for you this week!

If you’re on the market for ADHD-friendly tools and resources, you know the search can be a challenging one. That’s because often the people creating the tools for you — even tools that are specifically for ADHDers — don’t actually understand ADHD themselves! Creating supporting tools for the ADHD brain is hard work, and has to be crafted for a special kind of learner. Today, Nikki has some suggestions to help you sort the good from the bad when it comes to building your ADHD support tool chest!

Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast

We may start our days with the best intentions. We have our lists and routines, our goals and objectives that we think we’re ready to accomplish. But what happens when you’re thrown off track? What happens when that unexpected phone call delivers some bad news, or the kids get sick, or the car breaks down?

If you don’t have some accommodations in place to account for these surprises, you won’t be able to bounce back! You’ll be unconsciously sabotaging your own day. On the show this week, we’re talking about the things you can do today — and every day — to build your resilience so that you can make more of your days terrific and fulfilling!
