It’s Back to School Time!
Over the years I have been lucky enough to work with hundreds of Middle School, High School, College, University and Post Graduate Students. With almost no exceptions my clients have been very bright people who over-studied and under-performed in school. People with ADHD tend to get lost in a school system that was not designed for the ADHD Mind.
The way to take the disorganization out of school is to have a system. A number of years ago I developed a system called “The Study Method That Always Works For Everyone All The Time”. It is simple, easy to use and has literally helped thousands of students at all levels to raise thier grades and lower their stress levels significantly. I’m going to give you a copy for free if you’d like.
The “Method” virtually eliminates the need to cram for exams and makes your life much easier. You do however still have to do your homework and write your papers. Sorry 
Here’s how it works: Each weekday evening you review everything you covered in your classes that day (an hour is usually enough). On Saturday you will review everything you covered in class that week and on Sunday you review everything you have covered so far that semester (trimester, quarter, etc.). You don’t have to cram for tests and exams because you have been doing that every day.
You can get a free, easy to print (in pdf format) copy of “The Study Method That Always Works For Everyone All The Time” on my website at www.adhdcoach.com or by clicking on the link below.

If you have any questions about it or if I can help you with it, please feel free to e-mail me or give me a call at 847.947.1343 .
Have a great school year!

Musicians with ADHD
Some people may know that I have been a drummer for over 45 years and that I still play out. I was at a jam the other day and I couldn’t help but notice that every musician there obviously had ADHD (I notice things like that, it’s my business.).
Not just musicians, but most creative types. It seems to be almost a prerequisite.
It has long been documented that there appears to be a link between brilliance, creativity and ADHD. Not just by me, but by many others over the years. What I’m curious about is why?
While I’d love to see a study done on why it is good to have ADHD I think it’s unlikely that there will ever be a grant given for that research. If it isn’t an “illness” or “disorder” then there shouldn’t be drugs for it.
Thom Hartmann has written several sensational books about the topic. Since a study is unlikely, why don’t we start a discussion here on why this link between ADHD and creativity/brilliance appears to exist?
What can you do that people without ADHD can’t seem to do? Why is it good that you have ADHD?
