•Adults with AD HD Why Nike Has the Right Idea
Copyright (c) 2010 Jennifer Koretsky I've always loved the Nike tagline, Just Do It. The message is clear. If you want something, then stop making excuses and just do it! It's a positive, inspirational message that cuts through a lot of BS. For people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), however, just do it isn't always such a positive message.

Now before we go any further, let me be really clear about this: While it's true that ADDers have difficulty planning, this doesn't mean that we can't...

•The Maverick Approach to ADD Management BREAK the Rules
Copyright (c) 2010 Jennifer Koretsky Before my book on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) was published in 2007, I brainstormed titles and subtitles with my Mastermind Group of coaches.
