Dealing with Dyslexia

I just read a post today regarding dyslexia and I think it has to be one of the most debilitating illnesses next to anxiety. I’m not sure if I say that because I suffer from both of them. People always ask if you see words backwards or if you write backwards. They couldn’t be more wrong on that aspect of dyslexia. The easiest way for me to explain it to people is to tell them to imagine reading a book and your on page three and you don’t remember what you read on page one or two. It makes it very hard to spell and very hard to retain anything that you read. The best way for people with dyslexia to learn is by visualization or hearing. It’s especially hard whenever you’re someone like me what has a lot of business ideas but whenever it comes to putting them to work you don’t because of your dyslexia. It makes it hard to stay on task. Especially whenever the new business idea you have starts with you learning a new programming code. Anxiety kicks in just with the thought of trying to read a book. I basically don’t because I see it as a waste of time knowing that I won’t retain anything that I read. I’m reading more website articles trying to see other people’s ways of dealing with dyslexia. The main thing I need to learn is habits like creating a list and to stop procrastinating so much. I really need to sit down and make a daily list and abide by it to the T. I need to also try to manage my entire day or at least a good portion of my day with a schedule of studying, work, and relaxing so that I’m not so wired from work and business tasks.
