Being in control of your day is crucial for busy professionals with ADHD, high achievers, or those in demanding careers. Throw in family commitments and other responsibilities and you realize you have a busy life that you need to control.

We need to own our ADHD as a busy adult and one of the ways we do that is to control the aspects of life we can.

Join Dave for this short episode about the benefits of developing a control mindset as a busy adult with ADHD.
