As a business and personal trainer, I am specialized in highly skilled and creative work, and if at times I am at a loss and have an obstacle to attention deficit (ADHD)adults.
In a variety of coaching skills, I have used a number of organizational tools and techniques to help my clients achieve their goals.
Over the years, I have collected some unusual tools and techniques for the external tasks of the organization space and the internal tasks of clearing unnecessary, prioritizing the remaining space, work out the next steps and stick to them.
I learned some tools from my clients.
In this case, I would like to share with you such a tool, a strategy for transitioning to completing an incredible task.
I am going to call David a client who first brought this tool to my attention.
Since then, I have called it double the body.
When I first met David, he was the retired vice president of a big company.
After he retired, he ran three companies at home.
Two offices based overseas.
While observing David's work space, I found him well organized.
His eye was not high in the newspaper.
In fact, there is very little documentation around him and he has a lot of working systems, but he feels very confused and distracted.
To his great surprise, David was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which explained to him and his wife the lifelong difficulties of completing certain mundane tasks that others seem to be easy to handle. As a v. p.
In the corporate world, he always has an administrative assistant to connect these points together and the loose parts together.
Now that he has time to do these tasks, he is willing to do it, but he cannot move on.
David's wife also runs a company at home and has her own well-organized office.
She offered to advise him, but both agreed that it would not work.
That's when they asked for help.
David and I have made changes to his storage system to better access items that are often needed.
We honed the time management and prioritization system in order to work better for him in his business style.
However, this does not solve the problem of his inattention and distraction.
He explained that sometimes it is easy for him to get off track, or it is difficult to transition from one task to another.
He admitted, "You know, sometimes, if I had a person sitting in a nearby chair, even my wife, I could have done more if I was alone.
"David can stay on track as long as he has another person sitting nearby.
When I worked exclusively as an organization coach with other clients, David had identified some of the things I had noticed before.
There are times when it's just nearby, not advising, tidying up or curating, that bring clarity and focus to the customer. I felt it.
I know the customer feels the same way.
David first described this phenomenon that is only there, and I now call it the double principle of the body.
But why is the body double?
There are at least some possible explanations.
The simplest explanation is that the body doubles as a physical and emotional anchor for a distracting individual who feels more focused on the presence of another person in their space.
Distracted add-ons may feel double responsible for the body.
The feeling means, "I can't leave this place until I'm done" or "my body can't leave until I'm done.
"Body double can also provide not only physical boundaries as a life fence, but also a physical stop watch or clock through which frequent times
The brain can measure itself now.
"When my body doubles here, I need to start now and work towards completion.
Another explanation may be that the dual role of the body is a mirror --
A reflection on an individual with ADHD, how he or she is excessive
The body and mind at this time will be stimulated.
In this way, the body becomes a mode of control, a mirror that confidently reflects back the information, "I can concentrate. I am working. I am focused.
The last explanation
In Eastern culture, energy is called chi (or qi)
It is considered to be in a state of balance or imbalance in the human body and the surrounding environment.
The acupuncture doctor moves chi in order to restore the balance of the body.
There are many forms of exercise and meditation, including tai chi and Tai Chi, which are about the management and flow of energy. Feng shui, (fung shway)
, Is the art of balancing the positive and negative chi in the space around us by 5000, with the goal of optimizing the energy in the living and working spaces.
So, what is the relationship between chi and the body?
Body double may be a chi balancer or barrier that helps to control the flow of energy and thinking in an additional brain with the risk of spilling into the chaotic universe.
The body double can also be used as a buffer to prevent the energy of the outside world from distracting, ready to bomb excessive people.
Sensitive People
Whether you prefer an actual, psychological or metaphysical explanation of the dual effectiveness of the body, you can think of it as a gift for David and all the others who have also gone through their experiences but dare not admit it.
If the task at hand requires your attention and it seems impossible to complete, consider the possibility of begging, borrowing, or paying double for the body to sit in a chair next to you.
Who and what should you look for in the twins?
Find someone quite quiet.
He or she can sit there, read or write a letter.
They can even do small tasks without disturbing you, because it takes energy to direct, supervise, or be interrupted by another person, and the energy consumption is equivalent to distraction.
This is not to say that there is a clear time and external help is needed
Coach, professional organizer or office assistant.
There is such a time.
I encourage David to hire a student, a housewife or a retired church member to accompany him.
We all agree that his wife may not be the best person for the job, but he may use her in a pinch.
Over the next few months, David has hired a wide variety of short-term office support assistance, who sometimes serve as office assistants and sometimes double the body.
It's also a useful tool to know when to hire someone to help with office work or just pay bills.
In the simplest case, the body doubles as a chair holder, the space recipient --
Above, the Karma anchor, a wedge between you and the door.
This may be a useful tool in your own magic bag that can be used at the right time to get the job done and keep it on track.
