Unlocking the Benefits of Expressing Yourself Clearly
Case Study
Sam was a real ADHDer who owned a social media agency that specialized in written content.
His eyes would light up and his passion would show every time he spoke about his work. The love was so real and genuine.
Yet, Sam often found himself procrastinating on projects, causing him to stay up late doing work last minute.
This caused great stress on his family, health, and overall business.
By understanding why he was procrastinating, we were able to solve the root issue, and all of a sudden, he found himself doing the work easily.
Not only was he home by 6 pm every day and had more time for his family, but his agency ran smoother, allowing them to take on almost double the number of clients without hiring anyone new.
Thinking Skills
While you are doing any task, you (without even realizing it!) are using your 28 thinking skills.
When the thinking skills you need to use are strong, doing the task happens easily.
If the thinking skill you need to use is weak, doing the task will be a challenge.
The struggle that Sam had, came from a weak thinking skill of giving a thoughtful response.

Intro
Giving A Thoughtful Response
The first thing we did was understand what was the challenge.
What part of the work was a challenge for this brain?
With some digging, we understood he knew exactly what he wanted to write up, yet actually forming it into a cohesive piece of content that was interesting to read was a challenge.
This comes from the thinking skill of giving a thoughtful response.
This is actually the exact reason I put off email marketing for too long. I had the ideas in my head but putting them out in well-written words just felt too mentally draining.
Giving a thoughtful response is about expressing yourself in a clear, cohesive manner.
4 Ways to Improve Giving a Thoughtful Response
Here are 4 things we did to help Sam improve his thinking skill of giving a thoughtful response so doing his work happened easily:
1) We started off by making sure is thinking skill of labeling is superb.
The reason for this is, that the better we are at labeling, the more the information is clarified in our brain and the easier it is to use it. So even though Sam was pretty good at labeling I wanted to make sure it was even better.
Just this within itself already made it easier for him to give a thoughtful response.
Now we spoke about labeling in depth in episode 481 so I’m not gonna go over it again here.
But really quick you want to make sure you are calling items, people concepts, etc by their right name. No vague words
2) Once labeling was good, I had him reread any email/text before sending it. The already written word was easier to go over and adjust accordingly.
I also had Sam notice if there are any patterns in what he’s fixing. This way he can start catching them when typing the email/text.
3) For 10 minutes a day, Sam spoke with someone about random stuff and then had to repeat what he said in a more conscious, thoughtful way.
4)When writing content for his clients, since it was easier to talk about it instead of writing, I had Sam talk to text the content and then fix it up.
This helped immediately as he got the content for right now AND at the same time, gave him the opportunity to work on improving and giving a thoughtful response. He would have the written word in front of him (that he said!) and need to fix it up.
Your Challenge
Your challenge this week will depend on how good your labeling is.
If your thinking skill of labeling needs help, listen to episode 481.
If your labeling is pretty good, then you'll want to reread every email/text before you hit send
