Patricia Sung 00:24 Now, reminders, when you're doing all these videos, I know that you're throwing them into the cracks your day, and maybe you're, you know, on a walk, you know, walking your dog, maybe you are waiting for your kids that carpool and that is totally fine. Like, we have to fit in things where we can. Patricia Sung 00:41
2. 2 But if there is something that you could turn off, that would be a distraction, and, you know, turn off the TV and the, you know, scrolling and also, whatever you can control, take it down a notch. So that it can allow you to really focus on this time that you are doing for you and for your family. Patricia Sung 00:59 And know that you are doing a great job, whatever comes whatever happens, whatever modules you get through whatever activities you do, whatever you listen to all of it will get done, eventually what you need, you will get from this class, and you're doing a great job, it will all work out no stress, we're going to make it happen. Patricia Sung 01:15 Now I do need to hit the legal stuff that of course, don't steal stuff. I worked very hard in creating a program that I know will fit you. It has taken a lot of brainpower, and I'm very proud of it. And while I do appreciate people quoting me if there is for some reason you would like to use this for something else, you do need to get permission first. And if you ever decide to purport that you are the creator of this, my lawyers will come find you very quickly. Okay, thank you. Alright, business done. Patricia Sung 01:45 Let's move on. Alright, so welcome. You are here for a reason, Mama, we are making changes that will ripple outward into our family. It's not just about us, like we're working on us. Patricia Sung 01:56 But it's not just about us, right? We are changing the relationship with our partners, our kids, our families, and then down into the generations, as we learn these skills, we are going to then share them with our kids who are going to share them with their kids. And I don't I don't take that lightly.
3. 3 Patricia Sung 02:10 I appreciate you trusting me and coming to me to help you. I wish I had better words to say how much I value that. So thank you. And we're gonna make magic happen. All right. Patricia Sung 02:27 My goal is to create the best class that I can for you. So that you can build the routines into your life and the rhythms that fit you so that you can be successful. So that means that I want you to ask questions, I want you to share your opinions, you're not gonna hurt my feelings. And even if you did, it's not about me, this is for you. Patricia Sung 02:44 So whatever you want to ask whatever you want to know. And you can't find it in the videos, you can't find it in the FAQs. You can't find it in the community, please come tell me and I, I want that feedback. I want this to be the best possible. Patricia Sung 02:57 And what I've learned through many years of teaching middle school is that if one person has the question, good chance, somebody else has a question. So I would love to incorporate that into the class. So don't be shy, ask questions. I'll tell you how in just a second. Patricia Sung 03:13 Now, what is where and when you're currently on a Podia, which is the software that I use to host this class, we have both our lessons here as well as our community. So when you are in here, watching your videos, during your activities, they're all housed here, are on the product tab.
4. 4 Patricia Sung 03:30 And then you have the community tab, which is all the bulletin boards where you can post questions and respond to each other. So go in there interact with the other moms ask questions, chime in with your two sense. Patricia Sung 03:39 If somebody is needing help, this community is here for you. So take advantage of it. And the great thing about Podia is it's all in one place. So that keeps our ADHD brains focus, we don't have to worry about all the other things floating around, right. Everything's here except for one thing, which I'll tell you in a second. Patricia Sung 03:59 So you will get your modules here every week or every other week, depending on how meaty the lesson is. And the ones at the beginning are shorter. So it's about an hour of watching videos and doing activities. Patricia Sung 04:12 And then as we get farther in and we get into your schedule, you're going to need more time to work on that. So we give them more time to complete it. So I'll give you the lesson. I won't give you another lesson as fast it'd be like every other week, so that way you have time to get through it you I don't want you to feel overwhelmed. Patricia Sung 04:29
5. 5 And also that accounts for somebody if somebody has a stomach bug, you have to go visit your grandma, whatever life throws at you. There's that pacing there, that's going to make it a little bit smoother. Patricia Sung 04:41 Now the one thing that is non podia is our weekly zoom meetings where we have our support meetings and we gather and we share together. Those live meetings are once a week and you will get an invite in your email, and so that you go right on your calendar. Patricia Sung 04:57 It has the Zoom link in there and the time. It will adjust for like time zones, not my specialty. So the Creator does that for us. Thank you Gmail. And all you have to do is hit accept. It'll be there on your calendar. Patricia Sung 05:09 If for some reason you can't be at that meeting, don't worry, send me a note, I'll have a post on the bulletin board that says, if you can't be at the meeting, post your questions here. Patricia Sung 05:19 And these are the ways that you can ask questions, so you can ask them in the Zoom meeting, you can post them on the community board on the different bulletin boards. Patricia Sung 05:28
6. 6 There are boards for just general staff asking for help getting accountability partners. And there's also a chat box at the bottom of the screen. Like I'm thinking like, There's a little like purple speech bubble looking thing. When you click on that, it sends me a direct message. Patricia Sung 05:42 So I get it directly. And it sends me an email telling me that you messaged me so I can go in and respond. So that is a the quickest way to get a hold of me get mine, I do work part time because I have small kids. And so I will respond to you whenever the next day is that I'm working, which is during the week, I try not to work on weekends, hard, but I'm working on it. Patricia Sung 06:10 Okay, next is your first set of activities. So number one, mark your calendar for weekly meeting, either accept the invite I sent you, or put it on your email, in your calendar, whatever you keep track of your paper planner, they will be there for you. Patricia Sung 06:24 And then fill in the pre survey. This is a great reflection tool for us for two ways. One, it allows you to look back and see how far have I come? A lot of times with ADHD, we forget how time passes and we forget how things change. And we feel like we've always been in this situation right here. It's not gonna change in the future. It's been this way forever. And that's not true. Our brains are just very narrow, focused, right? Patricia Sung 06:46 So when we can look back and say like, Whoa, this is where I was two months ago, four months ago, six months ago. It helps us see how far we've come, which is really good for our brains, too. It helps me
7. 7 understand where you're coming from, and start to think about, hey, what else do I need to add here? What else do I need to put in? So it's really helpful for me as well. Patricia Sung 07:05 Third, go ahead and plan for when are you gonna watch the next video? When does that fit into your life? We want to be proactive and thinking about how we're going to do the next thing. Whether that's, you know, again, listening at softball practice, or on your walk, or while you're folding laundry, whatever that is, wherever it fits. Patricia Sung 07:25 If you're someone who needs to focus in like where is 10 minutes, where you have quiet time where you can focus in in and really listen, whatever you need. I want you to have that. Okay. So I think that's all for now. Patricia Sung 07:36 Welcome. So proud of you. And so glad that you're here. So, Successful Mama, I will see you soon.
