online ADD /memory assistance / brain fog resources?

[firecat]

I have a high distractability quotient and faulty short-term-to-long-term-memory transfer right now. I can think of various possible causes for this, but that's not the subject of this post.

I was thinking that people with ADD probably have developed techniques to minimize the impact of such things. Perhaps I could benefit from subscribing to a mailing list or LJ community that discusses such techniques. Do you know of any useful groups or web sites along those lines?

(I have already ordered David Allen's Getting Things Done.)

My son has ADHD. The two best techniques that work for him are:
a) lists
b) the timer

Everything is broken down into 15 minute chunks with the timer and that makes everything doable. He has lists for getting ready in the morning and at night, and lists for projects or anything else that come up.

You might like this blog. It also has a lot of interesting AD/HD links.
