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.)

I don't know if this will help or not, but...sometimes at work if I have a task I really need to do but am avoiding or can't focus on, I sit down and set a timer and work on it for 15 minutes...then I either keep going, or do something else and come back later for another 15 minutes. Eventually I hit a rhythm where I am making more progress on it than non-progress and I just want to keep going.

I have done that successfully with tasks I am dreading, yes. Thanks!
