ADHD: Visual Reminders
The simplest ToDo list is one item long and stays in your face.[1]There is one kind of reminder that I always fall back on when sticky notes, calendar apps, todo lists, and alarms fail. It is the visual reminder, and it is as powerful as it is simple.Perhaps you haven ’t noticed, what with all the forgotten bills, lost paperwork, and unfinished projects no longer on your mind, but one of the mostnotorious downsides of having adult ADHD is being forgetful. I can remind myself to do something every hour of every day and still forget to do it. All I need is a distraction at the wrong moment. That ’s why task lists are so ...

30 Days of 16/8 Intermittent Fasting
On Sunday I finished a 30-day trial of intermittent fasting, testing the variation where one fasts for 16 hours and eats only during an 8-hour window each day. In this post I’ll share what the experience was like.Of the various 30-day trials I’ve done, this was one of the easiest, especially after the first few days of adjustment. I messed up on one day for logistics reasons, eating in about a 10.5-hour window that day, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Some days I got the eating window below 7 hours. The tightest eating window I tried was about 6 hours.I’ve had some previous fasting experience,...

What to do if your child is constipated
Constipation is a very common problem in children. Whether it’s something temporary after an illness or diet change, or something more chronic, up to 20% of children suffer from it at one time or another. As much as it makes people uncomfortable to talk about poop, having trouble pooping is even more uncomfortable. Luckily, it is generally a very treatable problem.
Symptoms of constipation
Constipation plays out differently in different people. It can be any, or any combination, of
stooling less than three times a week
having stools that are hard and difficult to pass
having stools that are very large (large enough to b...

Pepperoni and Sun-Dried Tomato Muffins
Here’s a savory muffin with the flavors of pepperoni (or substitute salami or crumbled cooked sausage), sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and Parmesan cheese. I made this one day just playing around in the kitchen and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was on the first try. They make a terrific quick breakfast when you’re in a hurry or something to add to a portable lunch. They taste best, by the way, consumed warm.
I used sun-dried tomatoes in oil, as I believe they yield richer flavor than the dried variety.
Makes 12 muffins.
2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teasp...
