I'm a huge fan of gamifying as an effective way for adults with ADHD to get stuff done. And in this episode I'm talking with Paul Pape of www.GamifyBusiness.com on how we can do that to understand our businesses. Really fun chat, and if you are any kind of a gamer person, you'll love what Paul is doing.

About Paul: I've spent 20 years building a creative business. Now I translate what I learned into a language creative minds actually understand.

I take confusing business practices—the stuff that makes creative people's eyes glaze over—and I translate them into gaming themes and terminology. Character classes instead of customer personas. Quest lines instead of project plans. Party composition instead of team building. Same wisdom. Different language.

Because the problem was never that creatives can't do business. The problem was that business was never translated for the way they think.

I'm diagnosed ADHD predominantly inattentive, and I am supremely distractible, and my focus bounces like a bad check.

I would like to give you my history with my own focus and the process of becoming cool with myself about being distracted.

How many of us are trying to figure out ways to eliminate tension to tasks or increase motivation for them. We say "If I could just..." -insert whatever big thing promises to do one of those for us.

I have a different take on this, and I hope you find it as helpful as I do!
