Help for Adult ADD: Learn to Delegate

Written by ADD Coach Jennifer Koretsky


Adults with ADD are not "wired" for details. We're creatives, entrepreneurs, inventors, idea generators, and big picture thinkers.

When an adult with ADD is confronted with too many details to tend to, overwhelm quickly sets in. This is not a character flaw - it's quite simply just not what we're wired for.

There is actually a simple solution for dealing with details, and it might surprise you: don't deal with them.

A truly successful adult with ADD knows how to delegaterepparttar details, in bothrepparttar 114080 personal and professional realms. But many ADDers struggle with delegation. When coaching clients to delegaterepparttar 114081 details (projects, tasks, and chores) that overwhelm them, there are three common objections that I hear.

Objection #1: Cost A client has an online business that has a loyal customer base. He sells a lot of merchandise, and has been doing allrepparttar 114082 order processing by himself! This means taking care ofrepparttar 114083 order fulfillment,repparttar 114084 shipping, andrepparttar 114085 customer service - all on his own! He was reluctant to delegate order fulfillment to a company that supplies such services because he was afraid it would cost too much money.

Delegating this type of ongoing task to a service company certainly will cost some money, but it's an investment inrepparttar 114086 client's piece of mind andrepparttar 114087 company's future. Whenrepparttar 114088 details of order fulfillment are taken care of, he is free to focus on what he does best - business development. The business then grows, more money comes in, andrepparttar 114089 cost ofrepparttar 114090 fulfillment company is more than made up for in sales and growth.

Objection #2: Perfectionism Another client is a single mom who is a partner at a top-notch law firm. She works a lot of hours, and does her best to spend quality time with her two teenagers. But she was also spending a lot of time stressing - and I mean stressing - about how clean her house was (or wasn't). She was reluctant to delegate house cleaning to a professional cleaning person or to her kids because she thought it would take too much time to explain how she likes it all done.

5 Tips for Treatment of Dry Skin

Written by Maja Gabric Zirchelbach, MD


Skin asrepparttar largest organ ofrepparttar 114079 body is also one ofrepparttar 114080 most vulnerable to abuse.

Approximately 30% of adults have dry skin which often appears rough, tight, dull in color - with visible fine lines and wrinkles. Although there are several factors that result in dry skin - includingrepparttar 114081 genetic ones - this can be greatly caused by environmental factors (wind, sun, heat).

So,repparttar 114082 question is how to treat dry skin properly to significantly improve its look and its condition as well.

- Reducerepparttar 114083 frequency of washing

Did you know that washing by its definition is actually - drying ?

Washing removesrepparttar 114084 surface lipid film, along with environmental contaminants, sweat, sebum, peeled cells, and microorganisms.

Thus people with dry skin need to reducerepparttar 114085 frequency of washing and - lubricaterepparttar 114086 skin afterwards.

- Avoid soaps

The alkalinity of soaps disturbsrepparttar 114087 normal acidity (acid mantle) of repparttar 114088 skin thus leading to dryness.

Therefore people with dry and sensitive skin should use a soap-free cleanser. There are a number of synthetic detergents available that clean as well as soaps but are adjusted so that they do not alterrepparttar 114089 skin surface pH.

Some are combined with oils so that they lubricaterepparttar 114090 skin as they wash. Nonetheless, if one washes too often, dryness can also results with these products.

It is very important to have a skin care regime that you follow daily.

- Apply creamy cleansers

Accurate cleaning may increaserepparttar 114091 tenderness and smoothness of your skin, so...

...choose a creamy cleanser and leave it on for at least ten minutes when cleaning dry skin. Let your skin soak up some nourishment before sweeping it away with cotton pad !

Splash your face with cool water to remove redundant cleanser and to refresh your skin, then put on a nourishing cream to seal moisture intorepparttar 114092 upper levels of your skin. Personally, I don't recommend tonic for dry skin even if it doesn't contentrepparttar 114093 alcohol.
