Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #15: provide your own distractions

Since we need distractions to keep from going bonkers, prepare for times when you won't have enough to keep occupied.
  • Always have a book or a project with you
    • We need to always be working on several projects
    • Whenever there is a pause in the action I have something to work on with me.
    • Again, we can change our train of thought again and again without ill effect
  • Always have things to think about when trapped in quiet situations
    • I do my best computer programming while listening to a sermon.
    • I do listen to the sermon
    • But programming keeps me from becoming frantic
