How I Run a Company with ADHD
My reaction to this article has been... complex.<p>-----<p>Bah! Another article about ADHD. ADHD&#x27;s over diagnosed and not not as big a problem as people make it out to be. But, I&#x27;m curious all of a sudden, so I might as well read it.<p>&gt; For the first 19 years of my life I knew I was lazy.<p>Yeah, I&#x27;m pretty lazy too. That&#x27;s just who I am, though. I don&#x27;t have ADHD...<p>&gt; So what, you can&#x27;t stop bouncing your leg at the restaurant?<p>I thought I was the only one that did that. It drives my aunt crazy.<p>&gt; I&#x27;ll be halfway through a team meeting and realize I haven&#x27;t heard anything that was said. That&#x27;s ADHD.<p><i>THAT&#x27;S</i> ADHD? I do that all the time. I can&#x27;t listen to podcasts either. But I just have difficulty processing the spoken word. I&#x27;m much more of a book learner anyway.<p>&gt; I was happiest with my nose in the book<p>I&#x27;m seeing a disturbing pattern take shape.<p>&gt; I&#x27;ll take a break to read an article and hours will go by before I realize what&#x27;s happened. Not minutes, hours. That&#x27;s ADHD.<p>Wat.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m horrible at completing simple, repetitive tasks. I&#x27;m terrible at time management, and conceptualizing time in general.<p>Uh oh.<p>Other comments here have mentioned that stimulants help ADHD sufferers focus. I recently cut back to 2 20oz cans of red bull a day, but I was up to 4 a few years ago. I just thought caffeine was my drug of choice. Everyone&#x27;s addicted to something, right?<p>I currently have 52 open tabs on my laptop and another 37 open on my desktop.<p>I&#x27;m not quite sure what to do with all of this. I just thought I was lazy.
