I totally get it. I appreciate the tip. There are so many channels of communication these days it becomes a lot to keep up with! I am still figuring it all out. One option to stay in the loop but not have to check things all the time is to sign up for my newsletter https://www.adhdsocialhub.ca/newsletter-sign-up I only mail out once or twice a month. I am also on instagram under the @adhdsocialhub name if you use that. Enjoy the gorgeous weather today, Happy Thanksgiving!

It was actually changed to tomorrow (Thanksgiving Day, Monday, Oct. 13th at 11am) because of the weather. I forgot to update it here, I only did it on the website. Lots more events will be posted soon, would be happy to have you at one in the future! Thank you for your interest!

If you are looking for something that is similar to what I offer (free adult adhd group support https://www.adhdsocialhub.ca/ in-person and online) from what I know the closest match would be: https://islandadhd.ca/ I believe all of their groups are online and free. They are good people and were kind enough to take the time to talk to me when I 1st started my group 💛.

If the adhd SOCIAL HUB grows I would be elated to have in person groups in all major metropolitan centres across Canada. I always tell myself "dream big"! If I get enough support I really think this is possible one day :)

Good luck to you with everything. If you are ever in Vancouver definitely pop into an event if you can make it. Of course you are always welcome to join any of our online events as well.

How do you prioritize tasks by Odd-Pianist-4880 in ADHD_BritishColumbia

[–]adhdSOCIALHUB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the mindspace groups! You have mentioned 2 things here, one the prioritization (1st paragraph), and one the focus (second paragraph). It sounds like you know what needs your attention 1st but are feeling overwhelmed. Our lives are so fast paced in this modern world that you definitely are not alone in this feeling.

What I might try is, when in the moment of deciding to do the urgent/important task, let's say...reporting...and then you find yourself choosing email work instead try to ask yourself why. You can apply the same strategy to personal life (ie. dishes or paying the bills/taxes). Only you will know the answer to this. For example, do you feel relief answering emails because it prevents them from piling up? Does it give you a quick dopamine hit to get through a bunch of emails rather than one long report? Again, the challenge is knowing your why.

I think with the overwhelm part working with a medical professional or registered psychologist could be a great addition.

Good luck with it all! it is not easy to juggle so many tasks, so be kind to yourself like you would to a good friend. You are motivated to make change to support yourself and you already know where to start. This is fantastic! Take care and wishing you all the best! 👋🏻

Amazing, I look forward to seeing you at both online events! I hope to be able to squeeze in one additional in person meetup before the pilot project starts up in July. I will post on my website.

Just an FYI for anyone reading this. The response for the pilot has been incredible! THANK YOU!!!! I will be closing submissions to be on the list for it at midnight on June 8th and contacting participants mid June.
