Question an ADD/Time Management Skills (read details before answering)?
Hi! What would you suggest for a person who is ADD and has taken nearly every time management class in existence. However, with this barrier (ADD) typical time management techniques do not work?
Do you know of any specialized training for someone with TBI/ADD on time management. The person I’m talking about would like to get a job in a business environment and has excellent grades and skills. However, their time management and disorganization causes them a lot of problems staying focused and organized. But is highly qualified otherwise and has a lot of determination to overcome this barrier.
This person has taken virtually every time management course, or seminar available, but these seminars do not have techniques specifically designed for an ADD/TBI person.
Any suggestions on how a TBI person with ADD can overcome this barrier on time management? The person really wants to overcome this barrier.

Medication might be a better choice in this instance.
Time Management
1. Make a schedule of your day: what time you go to school, what time you arrive home, how long it takes you to complete your homework, household chores and work hours. From there you can determine how much free time you have and schedule your day so that everything can be completed.
2. Make a list of things you want to do. When you find yourself sitting and watching TV for hours or just doing nothing and being bored, use your list to change your time into productive time.
3. Set goals for what you want to accomplish. Make your goals specific. For example, “I want to make some money” is not a goal, “I want to make $50.00 to buy a new pair of shoes” is a goal. It is much easier to reach a goal when you have something specific in mind.
4. Divide your daily activities into categories and decide on the priority of each category.# Completing homework is a priority, getting exercised is a priority. Hanging out at the mall is not. Set your activities based on their priority.
5 Set time limits for yourself. If you need to complete household chores, set a time limit and then work to complete them within the time limits.
6 Use a date book or a PDA to help you keep track of your responsibilities and plan your days based on what needs to be accomplished. Doing this will allow plenty of time to do what you want to do.
7 Keep as much routine as possible in your day. Knowing what you need to do and when you need to do it will help you to accomplish more.
8 Keep supplies for your chores or homework in one place. Having to reorganize yourself each day can waste much time. Keeping supplies in place will help you to accomplish the task quickly.
9 Don’t procrastinate. Procrastination causes wasted time.
10 Take the time to complete a task correctly the first time. Having to redo your work over again can waste time.
