Adult ADD and Treatment - Mutual Life Coaching
Though individuals with ADD/ADHD have the talent and skill to reach their goals, they often have a difficult time sustaining the arousal and motivation to accomplish them. It can be a real struggle to maintain focus on a longer term goal or to even remember that goal, especially when it is so easy for those with ADD to get distracted by anything that is more stimulating at the moment. Sometimes it is beneficial to have an outside source to help keep focus and accountability.
An About.com user recently wrote in to share how a strategy he calls “mutual life coaching” saved him and got him back on the right path.

This article really hit home. That first paragraph is the story of my life. A friend and I are giving this a try starting this week. I’ll check back in here in a month (I put it on my calendar!) to report how it worked.
Concentrate,
I am so, so happy that you are giving this a try. Please do let us know how things work out. I am going to post a “Partnering with a Friend” folder in the forums soon, so others can connect with a partner if they don’t have one locally.
With warm, happy wishes.
