Dear Fellow Adult with ADD / ADHD,

Think back on a day where you arrived at work on time, started working right away, went through your email efficiently, made progress on several projects, returned your calls and left in time to enjoy a pleasant evening, feeling accomplished and satisfied.

That day felt great didn’t it?

Unfortunately for professionals and business owners with ADD/ADHD, days like that are few and far between.

For every day that you’re in the zone and get everything accomplished that you want to, there are at least a handful of other days spent feeling guilty, frustrated and stressed because of your lack of productivity.

Those days where your best intentions are undermined by unproductive and self-sabotaging habits, that leave you overwhelmed, behind schedule, and what feels like a million miles from your goals and dreams.

What If – With Just a Few Simple Changes-
You Could Start Having Those Focused, Productive, Satisfying Days EVERY Day?

 

How Would Your Life and Career Change If EVERY Day Was a Productive Day?

• Maybe you’d show your boss what you’re really capable of, and land that promotion or raise you’ve been working toward.
• Maybe you’d kick the growth of your business into high gear, and finally create the financial freedom and lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about.
• Maybe you’d be able to make a bigger positive impact on the lives of your clients, customers, or patients and go home each day feeling great about the difference you’ve made.
• Maybe you’d finally get to have a personal life, spend more time with your family and friends, and have more time to enjoy your favorite hobbies instead of being bogged down at the job 24/7.

It really is possible.

I’ve developed a set of tools and strategies designed specifically to work with your unique ADD/ADHD brain, and all its strengths and weaknesses.

I’m Bonnie Mincu, Senior Certified ADHD Coach.

I’m sick of seeing how habits, tendencies and struggles caused by ADD / ADHD are sabotaging people’s success at work, stressing out their families and keeping them from reaching their career goals.

As someone with ADD, I’m all too familiar with the stress of day after day filled with unproductive performance and unmet expectations. I know you feel ashamed and guilty over your continued lack of progress, despite your best intentions.

Since I founded Thrive with ADD in 2001, I’ve devoted my career to helping Adults with ADD / ADHD find strategies and develop customized solutions that work for them.

And I’ve become intimately acquainted with all the things you may have tried that don’t work well in the long run for most people with traits of ADD / ADHD.

What probably has NOT worked well for you:

 

Forcing yourself to work a plan   If your plan isn’t created around working with your own attention span, you wont be able to focus, no matter what your intention. As soon as the first activity gets derailed, the rest of the day follows.

 

Following conventional organizational systems   While most popular systems are good, you need to personally relate to a system in order to follow it. Most conventional systems don’t address your particular needs to see and touch information. Without incorporating a way for you to reliably maintain the organization system that is set up, it quickly falls apart.

 

Taking time management training   Unless the training is geared to people with ADD / ADHD, it won’t address your needs and challenges.  Traditional training doesn’t teach you how to break down tasks, make priority decisions, and determine how long things take.  Without those skills, you can learn the principles of time management, but still not be able to apply them successfully.

 

I never dreamed that my particular combination of skills would prove so uniquely valuable in coaching professionals with ADD/ADHD.

I’ve been an entrepreneur coaching ADD / ADHD Adults since 2001. But before starting Thrive with ADD, I had worked 23 years in corporations. My background as a trainer, executive coach and process consultant has been invaluable in helping my clients design customized processes that work uniquely for them.

I took my process design consulting experience, breaking down projects and tasks into systematic steps, and applied it my own ADD brain.  I then created tools that could be individually applied to the processes and brains of my ADD/ ADHD clients.  From the very beginning way back in 2001, the results were exciting.

I was able to help my clients with ADD / ADHD tweak their approaches to a variety of tasks, and create easy-to-follow processes for accomplishing exactly what they wanted to. Without all the resistance, overwhelm, and procrastination they normally experienced.

I’ve created a TOOL BOX of the most effective productivity boosting tools and strategies I’ve discovered for the professional with ADD / ADHD.

You no longer have to be defined by habits of lateness, disorganization, or poor follow-through. You can learn to break down projects, plan realistically, and stay on top of multiple projects and priorities without becoming overwhelmed.

Are you ready to gain control of your work and take back your life?

Join me for a journey that will change the way you work and live with ADD / ADHD

What you’ll learn in the Productivity Engine Program:

MODULE 1 – Get Started: How to End Procrastination and Paralysis

The key to getting started on tasks and projects is to uncover the particular patterns and situations that tend to stop you. Well cover the kinds of ADD / ADHD roadblocks that lead to procrastination, the factors that create distraction, and the most stressful paralyzers: overwhelm, fear and shame. Then, I’ll walk you through simple solutions for overcoming the blocks created by all these patterns and situations.

And because learning new techniques is only useful if you can easily incorporate them into your life, I’ll also walk you through how to create Rituals that will help new behaviors become habits that then become second nature to you. Once you learn how to create rituals that will really work for you, you’ll be able to use this technique to stay in control of your habits, instead of having unproductive, self-sabotaging habits control your life.

In this module, you’ll find out

• How to get started on anything, any time, without fear of procrastinating.
• The secret to banishing the feeling of overwhelm for good.
• How to get unstuck and move forward on the terms you set, without relying on panic-fueled adrenaline at the last minute.
• The secret power of rituals to create habits and make boring and annoying tasks easy and automatic.

MODULE 2 – It’s About Time! How to Be On Time and Meet Deadlines

Get out of “ADD-Time” forever!

Once you develop a sense of how long things take, you will gain control over your schedule. You are not doomed to be chronically late, or to miss deadlines. A poor sense of time is the cornerstone for difficulties in planning, organization, and so many aspects of work and life that create havoc for people with ADD / ADHD.

In this module, we’ll start working with my breakthrough Time Sense Tool. Once you start using this simple yet profound pencil/paper tool for just a few minutes a week, you’ll be amazed how quickly your own sense of understanding time will radically change and improve.

You’ll discover

• How to get an accurate sense of time so that you’re no longer late.
• Critical steps for improving your ability to meet deadlines.

How to use my proven Time Sense Tool to gain new awareness of exactly what is making you inefficient.

MODULE 3 – Get Unstuck: How to Handle Writing, and Communicate your Thoughts with Ease

In this module, you’ll discover a simple technique using paper and pencil that can help overcome feelings of paralysis, overwhelm, writers block and brain-freeze when you’re faced with projects involving planning, writing or communicating.

I’ll show you a simple way of capturing your swirling or creative thoughts and getting them down on paper, without having to agonize over organization and prioritizing.

It’s a perfect method for ADD / ADHD because it encourages your mind to roam freely on a subject, without boxing yourself into a structure that you find tedious or constricting. You can use it for anything, from plotting out the steps of a project, to writing a report or thesis, to creating a business strategy. You can even use this method for negotiating a raise or winning an argument.

You’ll find out

• The mind-mapping technique that makes approaching writing anything almost effortless.
• The one huge mistake that almost everyone does that makes writing so laborious, and the simple way to bypass it. (You’ll be amazed what a difference it makes the first time you try it!)
• How to instantly eliminate brain freeze and overwhelm with almost any project in a matter of minutes just by pulling out a piece of paper.
• How to plan out your “talking points” to present your case with confidence and authority.

MODULE 4 – Plan it Out: How to Break down Projects and Plan Realistically

You’ll learn some of my most successful tools and techniques that will get you out of overwhelm and disorganization in a hurry. I’ll show you how to use mind-mapping to plan, decision trees and comparison charts to decide priorities, task-batching to make sense of your endless and exasperating to-do list.

We’ll take tools used by management consultants and MBAs, and break them down to their simplest elements so that you can use them anywhere to change your plans instantly when necessary, without dropping the ball. You’ll learn why planning may have seemed like a futile exercise to you in the past, and what you need to be considering in your own work to make planning worthwhile and realistic.

I’ll show you

• How to plan in a way that makes sense to your ADD brain and structure your projects for easy action.
• How to break down projects into logical steps, specific actions and bite-sized pieces to eliminate the resistance you feel to starting projects.
• The simple method for structuring your day to go with your flow, rhythm and attention span instead of fighting yourself.
• The secret to using your roadblocks to guide your strategies, so you eliminate negative resistance and your plans unfold smoothly despite setbacks.
• A simple technique to figure out priorities and where to start.

MODULE 5 – Get your Act Together: Being Organized Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry!

End stress and chaos!

In this module, I’ll give you the tools you need to eliminate the many hours you spend each week looking for things …back-tracking and dreading the stress of not knowing what the status of your project is when asked.

We’ll talk about strategies for painlessly getting through a backlog of disorganized “stuff” and how to create rituals to maintain order going forward. You’ll get simple templates you can use to get projects started and communicate what is needed to others, and to keep track of status the various stages of work.

I’ll recommend some online sites to help you store information and manage projects across multiple people and devices.

You’ll also find out how to

• Categorize information so you don’t have to search for things.
• See all your responsibilities at a glance anytime you need without Intensive agonizing (no more sitting around not knowing what to do next).
• Keep on top of your projects’ status, and keep others informed without them having to ask with easy to use templates.
• Manage the expectations of your boss, coworkers, and clients, giving them the impression you’re on top of your game at all times.
• Get clear about direction and avoid dangerous assumptions that will send you spiraling into overwhelm or wasted effort.
• Become a master at routine paperwork, so you can knock it out and quickly move on to work you enjoy.

MODULE 6 – Follow Through: See Your Projects Through from Idea to Implementation

In this module, we’ll illustrate the five stages of follow through so you can easily identify exactly what stages are your strongest and weakest — your own “Follow-Through IQ.” Then, I’ll give you strategies to overcome the specific areas where you tend to get bogged down.

Once you have a clear understanding of these five stages of follow through and have the specific tools to navigate them, you’ll be able to

• Move from the beginning to the end of any project with ease, without encountering the usual stress, anxiety, and overwhelm that usually snags you up throughout the process.
• Get projects done faster, without the need for costly and time-consuming rework.
• Actually enjoy your work instead of constantly hitting walls and getting frustrated about not being able to move on to the next step in the project.
• Be able to manage more responsibilities and projects, knowing how to follow through on them.

Over 9 weeks, you’ll be supported as you incorporate what you learn into your own work, tweaking the strategies to tailor them completely to your own needs.

Don’t Think Productivity Engine Will Work For You?

“I’ve tried strategies before and failed.”

Productivity Engine is designed to help you identify exactly what works and doesn’t work for you. So you’ll quickly gain insight into why your past efforts didn’t succeed. These solutions are taught in a way that guides you in customizing them for your own individual tendencies and preferences.

“I don’t have time.”

Productivity Engine is designed for busy people! You’re probably already stretched to the breaking point. That’s why you need to learn a different way to get your work done.

Attending the live webinars every week will take 60 to 90 minutes. But you can view them at your own convenience, a little at a time, or download them to listen while you’re driving, commuting, or exercising.

The suggested homework assignments need not take any extra time. You can practice the new techniques you learn as part of your regular work only now you’ll be able to do it more efficiently, and in a way that goes with your own natural flow.

“I won’t follow through on what I learn.”

If you’ve read this far, you’re hoping to change that lack of follow-through. No one goes into a project thinking they won’t complete it or reap its benefit. So it’s important to find out what tends to derail you in following your plan. Starting with the very first week of Productivity Engine, you’ll gain important strategies for making and keeping commitments that will help you get through the course. Those strategies will be enormously beneficial in getting you keep on track for work-related tasks as well.

“It costs too much.”

Poor productivity and inefficient work habits are already costing you far more than you’ll ever pay for this course!

Consider how much you’re losing now:

• Financial cost – Right now, every moment that you are sabotaged by poor habits results in you missing career opportunities, being passed over for promotions, not getting top references and referrals maybe even losing jobs or clients. How much money have negative habits and tendencies cost you in the last year alone?   How about the last five years?

• Time lost – All those extra hours you’re spending at work because of disorganization or inability to get started soon enough take time away from your family.

• Sleepless nights – Anxiety over what you might be missing, or how to catch up, can leave you sleep-deprived and unable to enjoy your waking hours.

• Eroded self-esteem – The stress of living in constant crisis mode can take years off your life. You live in fear that others will find out what you really went through to produce your results. You feel like a fraud, masquerading as someone who has it together but afraid someone will look behind the curtain.
