If you are following my YouTube channel, you know that I am currently writing a book. This project is unique because, in writing my previous books, I had the opportunity to write in a different way that I am writing now. My early books were written by giving myself a word count for each day and writing until I hit my daily word count. My latest books (The Reset ADHD Trilogy of Books) were written using my blog posts. This time, I am trying to write a book while running a business. So, how do I go about this?

I like poetry. I like writing it, and I also like reading it (when the poems are good). I have had stretches of time where I was really into poetry, reading and writing as much as I can. However, I have also had stretches where poetry has been absent from my life. I get distracted by other things, and poetry becomes less of a priority. Yet, my love for poetry always remains. I quite often think to myself, “I should get back into poetry.” Somewhat recently, I had one of those I-gotta-get-back-into poetry moments.

As longtime readers of this blog may have surmised, I am a giant nerd. I have previously written blogs about what ADHDers can learn from some of my favorite fictional stories and characters. One glaring omission from this series of blog posts is my second-favorite fictional character, Sherlock Holmes. While Holmes probably does not have ADHD, he nevertheless can be a neurodiverse icon, with it being incredibly likely that he is on the spectrum. I believe the character illustrates many ideas that the ADHDer might do well to consider.

Reset ADHD has published several books, all of which are available on Amazon. However, I am no so naive as to expect you to buy and read them all. I mean I would love it if you did, but knowing my audience, I know that reading just one book can be quite the task for an ADHDer. So, that brings up the question: If you only read one, which one should you read?

2023 will see three books released by Reset ADHD. I am excited about this project, and I hope you will consider reading these books. In this blog post, I would just like to give you an overview of what each of the books covers. If this inspires you in any way, I hope you will share this news with someone you care about who is affected by ADHD.

I have written several books despite having ADHD. It is definitely possible to do so, and I hope any budding writers out there believe in themselves enough to do so as well. What I would like to share in this blog post is just a few things I do to help me write books.

In 2019, I wrote a blog post recommending books for the ADHD brain. It has been over 2 years, and it is time to add some more books to the list. Here are some new book recommendations.

Let me take you back in time. It is November 2018. I am attending my first International Conference on ADHD in St. Louis. I am socially awkward and unsure if I belong at this conference or in my new profession as an ADHD coach. One of the presentations I attend is on “the secret to time management.” Early on in the session, it is revealed that the secret to time management is energy management. The speaker, Dr. Tamara Rosier, then goes on to present her “Solve-It Grid.” This grid blows my mind. I go on to write a blog post about it and recommend its use to some of my clients.

The summer before my junior year of high school, I was forced to read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain for the AP English class I would be taking that school year. I hated these summer reading assignments, but this one I actually enjoyed. Twain’s writing style and the story intrigued me.

One of the parts I enjoyed the most was Tom Sawyer’s sudden arrival into the story. When Tom Sawyer arrives, he and Huckleberry Finn get into all sorts of mischief, mayhem, and adventures.
