ADHD Friendly Tip:
Pick just ONE of your goals to work on.
It’s tempting to try to work on all of your goals at once, like writing a book, starting a Youtube Channel, or training for a marathon. Do NOT do this. You will get burnt out and discouraged. Pick the goal closest to your heart and work on that.
I’m currently working on this blog in any spare moments I can find. I’m writing blog posts, creating Instagram content, and taking blogging classes in the five to ten minute blocks of time I have when my baby is napping or during my lunch breaks.
Find the goal that you’d like to achieve first, and work on it in whatever spare moments you have. It might take a little bit of planning to figure out just how to work on it, but five minutes at a time, you’ll be able to achieve your highest goals.
