A 2022 Retrospective
Can you believe 2022 is almost over?!
So much has happened at Take Control ADHD this year! We added new members to the TCA family with new ADHD coaches and our executive assistant and community manager, Melissa joined us full-time. Our new GPS Monthly Membership Program started earlier this year (enrollment now open until 1/2/23). We brought back coaching groups. And Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast just finished its 25th season!
We covered so many great topics this year. I thought I would take a minute to reflect on what we've learned before we move on to new things in the new year.
PACT Goals
This takes us way back to March of 2022. Do you remember what PACT stands for?
Purposeful
Actionable
Continuous
Trackable
I have really enjoyed using this method for setting and acheiving goals ever sinced I learned about it earlier this year. It could be a great tool for new goals in the new year. I am so thankful to the creator of PACT goals, Anne-Laure Le Cunff for bringing us something a little more ADHD-friendly to reach our goals.

Burnout
This is a popular topic with the ADHD community. ADHDers tend to keep going long after it's healthy and this can lead to burnout. I hope the resources we provided this year were helpful in preventing future burnout.

Talking & ADHD
This was a topic that caused quite a stir within the Taking Control community. There were many discussions with members about how to combat over talking or how to tell someone else they are over talking without hurting their feelings. It's definitely a tightrope walk, that's for sure!

ADHD Influencers
This series on The ADHD Podcast was so much fun! I don't think it's any big secret that I am not at the forefront of social media. But, I truly enjoyed hearing from some truly inspiring individuals who are using social media to share knowledge and support with the ADHD community. I hope you will show your support to these great people by following their work on social media!

Techvember!
What a fun word we created! I think Pete had a lot of fun exploring our old podcast episodes and sharing his thoughts on new and updated tech to use for different purposes like work, email, health and home.
And, we did something new and different on the blog during Techvember! Our executive assistant and community manager, Melissa, shared some of her tech recommendations as well.

Thank you for your time and attention,
