Poject Completing: Getting Started

Often with ADD/ADHD getting started can be the fun and easy part of completing projects, however, this is not always the case. Sometimes getting started is elusive and difficult. When it is time to start a project and you find that things are not going as you wish or things are not starting as easily as you wish, take a look at several elements:

1: Do you know what is to be done?

If not, who can help clarifiy what is to be done? How can you get clear on what is to be done?


2: After you know what is to be done, do you know how to get it done/how to do it?

If not, who can help clarify how to get started and get it done? How can you get clear on how to get it done?


3: Do you have the skills, tools. supplies, assistance or whatever is needed to get the project started and done?

If not, who can help clarify what skills, tools, supplies, assistance is needed? How can you get clear on what is needed?


4: Do you know "why" you are doing this project? Not everyone needs to know "why" but sometimes some people need to know the why, or the outcome or the goal....

If not, who can help clarify why this project is to be done? How can you get clear on why?


Experiement with different versions of these approaches and notice what works and what does not. If you need more support, find a friend, relative, or coach to help you get going and creating more success!
