Bryan Hutchinson commented on Lisa's blog post Improving working memory"Thanks Riri! I still think Gyms stink... I would rather go out in the sunshine and work out, errr, walk around experiencing nature :-)

Riri commented on Lisa's blog post Improving working memory"Hi Lisa,
I did hear about certain methods to increase memory, but never tried it because first, I don't know where in Jakarta I can do it; second, it seems like a lot of work :P. For the Brain Gym, I don't think Bryan would do it. He…"
Lisa replied to Anna Newman's discussion Is there a happy ending for people with ADD/HD?"Dear Anna, I am 51. I was diagnosed at 49. I felt the same way.

Lisa replied to Dan Halstead's discussion Can find a different word for it?"I vote for calling them muggles. Doncha hate how long it takes for other people to catch up with things that are obvious to you. I think of my ADD is my creativity, my uniqueness. All I need to do is harness it."

It works, at least the planning part, because I have zero…"
Profile Information
- About me & Relation to ADHD?
- I am an adult with ADHD. Diagnosed at the age of 49 and now 51. Thought I had depression but now realize that I am anxious because I'm always getting hit by things I forgo about or didn't realize was coming. Like deadlines. Trying to learn to tame my brain.
Just stumbled accross ADDer world. Probably when (i) following a link from ADDITUDE mag or looking up the profile of a Bryan Hutchinson review of a book on ADHD on Amazon.

Keeping my brain on task and not to get sleepy
Hi, I'm trying to take my ADD mind. I have some tasks to do and I have all the information I need to do the tasks. The problem is (i) they are complex, (ii) Boring, and (iii) no body is going to read the end result BUT not getting them done on time is a BIG problem.
