firecat: too much coffee man looking discouraged (too much coffee man)
[personal profile] 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.)

Yes, this one is critical for me as well. I have to use the Internet for my work, so I avoid looking at any sites which have a high 'suck me in' factor. So no news sites until I've gone through my closed list.

I will read livejournal, because it feels like a 'break', and is self-limited in terms of articles, because I don't have a big friends list.

If one is technical, you could set up a block list for the sites that you find most distracting, and only be able to look at them during scheduled hours.
