First, it’s very cool to see a positive spin on ADHD.

I thought you had a lot of very useful information and ideas in that post, and I’m grateful to you for sharing them.

I have ADHD too and find that I have to break tasks up throughout the day. I already follow many of your tips, so for me, it was nice to have validation that I’m not weird or alone! lol! I would go crazy if I didn’t have a ton of stuff to jump back and forth on. It’s really no different than the way most people (especially men) channel surf while watching TV…they get bored or there’s a commercial, so they jump around to something else and then back again.

I’m not sure why it comes across that I blog post all day. I write two posts per week and it takes me about half an hour each time. I work three days per week when I have childcare and am with my son the other four days, though I do work if I have to. My husband is a freelancer, and his schedule is the same as mine.

Most of my work is of the money-making variety. For example, right now I have four articles due in the next week or so.

Ummm, if you are blog posting all day long, when do you actually have time to do the “earning” part? Or full-time mom to a 3-year old? I’m just really, really curious, not meaning to be offensive at all.

Hi Linda– I am so glad you confessed to ADHD; I have the same problem! Focusing can be a huge problem for me– for instance, right now I have 14 tabs open on my computer…and several Word docs:( I love your suggestions for “quick and dirty” things to do while taking a quick break. I have found that using a timer when I am writing helps me stay on task…so I use Strict Pomodoro– 25 minutes working, 5 minute break— and these small tasks will fit perfectly.

In reply to Ruth – The Freelance Writing Blog.

I like these tips and implement many of them already, but I too often wonder if I’m just finding a way to procrastinate. Then again, if you’re going to procrastinate, you might as well do it in a way that’s productive and motivating!

In reply to Danielle McGaw. Danielle, My husband also teases me about how many tabs I have open. Anytime I complain about a computer problem, his response is "try closing all those tabs." Glad to hear I'm not alone!
