Thoughts from Peter:
Clutter is a distraction waiting to happen.
Live your life 30 minutes early.
Pills can’t teach skills.
Whatever works, stick to it!
Identify your triggers and work around them.
ADD/ADHD is a gift not a curse.
It is not that we are distracted. We are actually looking for something that excites us.
