As far as goals go, looking for a job is a common one for most, if not all, of us.<\/p>\n
Remember when you have looked for jobs in the past? Perhaps you are looking for one now.<\/p>\n
There are so many moving parts: resumes, cover letters, job sites, networking, books, etc.<\/p>\n
Arghhh!!<\/p>\n
When faced with this kind of task, like many of you, I can easily become overwhelmed. It just seems like too much to do.<\/p>\n
And then I remind myself that, yes, it is too much to do today if I consider all that I could possibly do to increase the chances of getting a job.<\/p>\n
A more helpful perspective is having the whole picture in mind, but giving more thought and energy to the daily actions that will help us achieve our vision, like getting a job.<\/p>\n

Have a Vision<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n So, here is what I do, and I invite you to play along at home. You could play alone, but I suggest you find supportive people to join in with you.<\/p>\n Here is how it goes:<\/p>\n Take a step forward and look at your vision. Remind yourself what you want and why you want it. Ask yourself, “If I accomplish this, what will it bring to my life?”<\/p>\n Create a vision board to remind yourself of a distant goal. When you have ADHD, this can help to make better choices in the moment and resist the many temptations. You will have a better chance of acting more in line with your intentions.<\/p>\n Then, take a step back into the present.<\/p>\n
