The Focus Vlog: 5 Tips that Lead to Complete FOCUS and/or the Conquering of ADD/ ADHD

As a person who has had ADD/ADHD all my life I am the first to know that Attention Deficit Disorder is a struggle. However it is not a death sentence, for I have reached a lot of my goals with great success. This is just my attempt to reach out to those who have both adult and child forms of ADD/ADHD like me or those who just want to focus more and share some advice that has helped me tremendously. Embracing it is the best treatment.

@ramen02 Your brain is much more open to things that of which many individuals can not sense.

I was diagnosed in fourth grade and prescribed Adderall XR, and yes it did help at that time, but as I had continued to take medication the overall side effects became worse. By the time I had come around to my junior year of high school I noticed the depressive slope I was upon induced by prolonged medication of amphetamine. When one finally comes to understand that Attention Deficit Disorder caused from a smaller cerebellum is not a burden, then they are able to accomplish many a things.

@VeryApe111 Yeah you summed it up there - I noticed this at school, I realised the kids who were just writing pages of crap off the top of their heads were getting better marks because they'd written more. I tried the same technique - writing a load of crap off the top of my head, suddenly I was getting A's for English. Unfortunately at university I have to balance this with research and careful referencing. And all-nighters the day before it's due.

What up, I'm 25. I have ADD too.. I'm also a business owner, I started my own business right after I turned 21- dude this entire time has been one, long, Exhausting Struggle! To stay focused & stay organized, always behind on something, always working like 5 times harder just to get the same results as someone without ADD. To be honest with you dude, I leased a warehouse almost 1 year ago- because of my ADD, I fell behind on the lease- I am struggling to barely break even right now, pray for me

@sonicwingnut Ahh but you have put your finger on the whole problem. It's not intelligence its the practical application of it. A volatility that gives gifted insight and thinking but the same time makes it almost impossible to efficiently convert that into practical achievement. Yeh you will do amazingly at times but not often enough - so productivity wise you get overtaken by those with less ability but more consistency. Ultimately life is about getting stuff done.

Hi Thanks for this - a lot of what you described is associated with Asperger's - I have Asperger's and can relate to what you have had to say....perhaps there is a link!?
