Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

Today on the show we’re talking all about building realistic goals into your life. After a quick review of SMART goals, we’re diving deep into what it means to approach attainable behavior change that sticks!

Show Notes

We’re not big fans of “resolutions” around these parts. Living with ADHD, the stereotypical resolution is a recipe for frustration that doesn’t address the heart of the New Year energy: driving a change in your behavior over the long term to change something meaningful in your life. 

This week on the show we’re talking all about building realistic and attainable goals for the new year. After a quick review of SMART goal setting, we dive in deep on crafting goals that lead to sustainable change, rewarding transformation rather than one-off success. Join us… and bring a pencil: It’s time to create some change in your life!
