Hey there,

I admit, in my impatience I tend to skim threads rather than read the entire thing most of the time, if it looks like I missed something of interest, I go back and look for it.

The first time I read your post I thought “yeah, I need to organize” with no intention to actually do anything about it…

I don’t advertise, infact I’m pretty sure only one person on CAP until now even know’s I have ADD, not only do I have ADD I have a short term memory diffiency (see how many ppl I’ve told :P I haven’t even learned to spell it :P hehe) caused by a bruise in my brain that wont ever heal.

Having ADD means I think different than the rest of the world I suppose.. when you have ADD your brain races and you think of sooo many things at once, jumping from subject to subject, imo that is a great thing, not bad.. but it takes other ppl some getting used to ;)

Being that i also lack much of a short term memory, i might go a bit overboard, but to keep my life, and idea’s organized i..

Keep sticky notes that remind me of things I need to do ‘later’ anything I don’t do this moment.. go’s on a sticky… If you’ve ever ordrered an article from me, you’ve been the subject of a sticky ;) hehe..

I also send myself PM’s in my own forum.. that reminds me to do silly things like post something tomorrow .. or look into a new news item.. research somethingerother or whatever..

For ideas I keep 5-10 notepads around the house, I almost always have a new idea or 10 hehe.. My mind never stops, some are great, some not so much ;) .. but either way, as soon as I think of something, I write it down. Later on I will decide if I want to develop it, but for right now, the trick is to not forget it ;)

I keep a calendar online and on my desk, that reminds me to do things like announce passwords BEFORE private tournaments start hehe My online calendar pops up to remind me that I have a dentist appt tomorrow, in an hour, in ten minutes hehe.. If thats not enuff, my cell phone does too ;)

I think in such a creative industry, someone with ADD actually has the advantage, what more can you ask for than 1000’s of idea’s running through your brain everyday and a profitable place to put them ;)

That orginization thing is a bit tricky.. but I betchya a good half of this forum would agree they could improve some in that department hehe

On a side note..

The first time I read this post .. I thought to myself.. what the hell is an anchor! I can write the link, all the parts are there, but I’ll be damned if I remember what they are called ;) and frankly, I don’t care to much, but I did love the journal idea, and I now have a sticky note to remind me to buy some notebooks ;)

Good Luck to you,
and stay off the drugs mayun, they turn ppl into zombies
