Questions in ADHD: Distractions. What helps you?

My name is Dr. Tim Bilkey. I am currently coauthoring a self help book for people with ADHD and I think it is very important to get the thoughts and ideas from people with ADHD that may help others who are yet undiagnosed and/or who continue to have challenges.

This will be the first of a series of questions on this blog for public input. Sort of along the lines of “what helped you cope with a particular issue, what worked best for you”.

We have a chapter on distraction so I want to ask how you manage those distractions in your life you have trouble with. What helps you stay on track? What changes have you made in your life to dial in your focus? Where do you focus best and how do you manage distraction when you’re studying or working. Do you get other people to help you with this?

I will be posting a summary of this data later on so dive in! We need lots of ideas from you.
