This is an account of my acquired knowledge and thoughts on ADD.
ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder.
Genetic plays a part in the disorder.
It affects the people that have it, to various degrees.
ADD is characterized by a persons inability to maintain their focus on one particular thought or task.
It is as if a person was a multi-tasking computer. Going from one job to another without ever really completing the first one.
There are many simple trouble-shooting methods to over come some of the drawbacks of ADD
People diagnosed with ADD tend to have three main characteristics; high intelligence, compassion and creativity.
Unfortunetly due to disorganized behavior one is not able to completely attain their full potential.
Using an analog watch (one with arms on it) is the most basic solution for many ADD related shortcomings. The reasoning behind this is that if you become more aware that time is passing you will become more focused on the important tasks at hand. Spacially it is easier for people with ADD to see how much time they have for a task when looking at an anolog watch than a digital.
Another is discipline and organization. To the degree you have achieved these qualities is the degree that you will
be able to better use the three gifts of Compassion, Intelligence and Creativity.
