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