I first realized ADD was my super power a few years ago. I learned to work with it instead of fighting it. Meditation replaced medication, but self imposed structure was still my kryptonite. I’ve found some tips here and there but ADD Hero has given the world the first complete ADD Utility Belt.
ADD Hero gives great insight into focused strategies to stay on task. Scheduling concentrated distractions is a great strategy and one of my favorites.
At times I find my ADD to be a painful diversion from achieving my goals, while other times I have the most intense focus imaginable – and can handle impossible amounts of work. ADD Hero provides an awesome and straight-forward set of practical tools for unleashing my ADD.
The concentrated distraction strategy is really interesting; I’ve had dumbbells parked behind my desk for over a year, and I think you just convinced me to start using them. I also totally agree with the ideas on engineering your focus, and have a few good focus playlists that work for me, like Deep Focus.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) affects 5% of children and 2.5% of adults in the United States, according to the American Psychiatric Association. Although more commonly diagnosed in children, it is sometimes recognized later in life. There are treatments but no cure, so it persists into the teen years and through adulthood.
Adderall is an amphetamine that is mainly prescribed to treat the symptoms of ADHD, but it can also be used to treat depression and narcolepsy.
