Howdy all! First post.
I think a hybrid of the approaches described herein are a great strategy: scientific, holistic, thorough, and open-minded.
I benefitted mightily from Ritalin as a very distracted and under-performing 4th grader. My grades skyrocketed, taking a lot of the "what's going wrong here" pressure off of me and allowing me to relax and figure out how to deal with my attention issues.
raeanna74's suggestions above are awesome - I've used a number of those tools with great success. If I make a cheat sheet and/or can verbally explain something in detail (even if nobody is listening) I know it and it sticks with me quite well. I may have to check out that red cellophane trick...
My problem now is at work - I get so easily distracted and off-task sometimes it drives me crazy. Granted, being an internet fiend certainly doesn't help...
I'll check around for some adult ADD posts, but if anyone happens to know of any right off hand, please PM me or post them here (as long as that's not a forum no-no).
Cheers!
