Review: Finally a book for hyperactive types!

March 25, 2008

I read this book very quickly, because the book is short but engaging and make an awful lot of sense if you have ADHD and you have hyperactivity.

Basically, this book gives you examples of how to capitalize on how an ADHD brain works rather than focusing on correcting what doesn’t work. It’s perfect for creative people such as musicians, painters, etc, but it can work for anybody being hyperactive.

At the end of the book, there is a list of resources and websites, and also an appendix that help you find out which strategies have worked best for you in the past and pair them to the tasks you still can’t follow through on.

I’ve implemented many of these strategies and I can honestly say that this book is changing my life.

Meet Inspiring People in Women’s World Magazine

March 15, 2008

Woman’s World magazine wrote about a Fidget to Focus devotee in their March 3, 2008 issue:

Ever have trouble concentrating? Susan Blake did too–all the time. And when she was finally diagnosed with ADD, medication didn’t work magic. But something else did…

The article goes on to talk about her struggles and how Fidget to Focus showed her the way to an answer. The article concludes:

“I always thought something was wrong with me,” Susan says today. “But all that fidgeting wasn’t a problem–it was the solution!”

It’s a great article and I wish we could direct you to a copy of it online. But Women’s World magazine doesn’t go there. Thanks, Susan, for being such a great advocate for what works!
