Hello Brains! Having trouble Doing the Thing? You're not alone. Motivation is one of the biggest challenges most ADHDers face. This episode is all about how to fix Motivation Bridge. Special thanks to Doctor B from TakeThis.org for coming up with the clever phrase "fill in the planks" -- and for motivating me in so many ways. And of course, a giant thank you to my brilliant editors and animators Palestrina and JustCallMeGary for working tirelessly to help me bring Motivation Bridge to life (and making me cry). You should...you should sleep now. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Facebook: http://facebook.com/howtoadhd Twitter: http://twitter.com/howtoadhd Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/howtoadhd WE WROTE A SONG!!

Hello Brains! For this episode, ADHD Coach Alan R. Graham (get his book here! https://www.amazon.com/Guide-ADHD-Coaching-Find-Coach/dp/1628655704) talks about how to set a goal -- and I spin it into a wildly complicated metaphor to help me remember it :) Get the worksheet here! - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1019ex9YVyRjLHPyZm7H4PwE0RXxBkTTd/view -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Facebook: http://facebook.com/howtoadhd Twitter: http://twitter.com/howtoadhd Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/howtoadhd WE WROTE A SONG!!
