Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #13: Do things that are exhausting

Work out as much of the excess energy as possible throughout the day.

• Jog or run every morning at 5am. You will be able to focus for the rest of the day if he doesn't to this. (Do a hard lap swim every noon)
• If you plan in times of activity the energy won't come out in destructive ways
• Sleep when you need to and as long as you need, without trying to adhere to a “normal” schedule.
  • You may need much less sleep than other people.
  • You will have a hard time going to sleep unless you are physically exhausted
