Got ADD?

July 26th, 2007 by Stephen

Posted in GTD, GTD with ADD, Lifehacks, The Examined Life |

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

Rosemary of the Daily PlanIt tipped me off to this site by Peter Quily, ADDCoach4U, which has a wonderful list of positive attributes of the ADD adult:

Ability to find alternate paths to overcome obstacles
Able to take on large situations
Adaptive/collaborative
Adventurous, courageous, lives outside of boundaries
[…]
Philosophical
Holistic thinking
Playful
Pragmatic
Problem solver
Profound
Quick thinking
Quick witted

It is a long list and it was created by seminar participants asked to describe positive influences that their ADD has had on their lives. Many of these qualities are the ones that we see over and over in “self-improvement” articles. Take a few minutes and peruse the whole list.

Which of these qualities is descriptive of your own personality? How does ADD help you to become successful?

And the most important question: Which of these attributes do you think that you could add to your description in order to improve your productivity and the quality of your life?

I chose these:

  • Compassion for others and for themselves.
  • Learning as much as I can to help children and others with ADD.
  • Thinks 2 meters ahead of the world.
  • Very creative, able to generate a lot of ideas.

I am adding these qualities to my list of actions to review weekly.

    I also believe that mesothelioma cancer is a uncommon form of melanoma that is typically found in those previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous tissues form inside mesothelium, which is a protective lining that covers the majority of the body’s organs. These cells ordinarily form within the lining in the lungs, belly, or the sac which actually encircles one’s heart. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

    A few months ago i book marked your site and possess returned on more than once to meet up with some of your respective articles however until today I by no means commented that we think is a shame as comments can sometimes help assist this content writer. I enjoy blogs using great content and some of your articles are actually well presented even so the feedback left from your readers are fantastic and many made me personally laugh although I must be truthful you can find comments that will mystified me regarding the point or maybe the connection to the principal write-up although i am certain they created sense towards the original poster. Like yourself I run my very own blog, with the actual hope it might improve contact with my primary company, however unlike your website i fight to get readers and quite a few content published onto my own site receive at most 2 comments that makes it not all to easy to continue using such small return. I realize that my themes or templates are possibly less attention-grabbing than your own with almost all based in Waste Disposal and These recycling however I would like to push the audience higher. I wish this won’t appear being a cheeky ask, however My partner and i was hoping that one could spare me a bit when it comes to dropping me personally an e-mail together with any advice that will improve myself raise my own blogs coverage as without having readers blogging can be quite a lonely activity.
