Social Tip #211 - Attend To Your Deficits

When will people recognize my genius? When I finish reading my ADD book?

I doubt it. By then people will be saying, "Where has Myka been?" Because thirty years have passed. It's a long book.

Who writes a 500 page book for people with ADD? It says IN THE BOOK that many people with ADD have never finished a book. If they wanted us to get all the content, they should have published multiple books, and only put the relevant information in the first thirty pages of each.

To wit: I use books I'm reading to bookmark books I'm reading.

Items I have used as bookmarks:
Other books, socks (clean ones but I left it in there so long the book bent), cds, bandaids (in wrappers), current knitting projects.

I recently read Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD which is much more manageable in length.

Waiting in the wings is Organizing Solutions for People With Attention Deficit Disorder: Tips and Tools to Help You Take Charge of Your Life and Get Organized Organizing Solutions for People With Attention Deficit Disorder: Tips and Tools to Help You Take Charge of Your Life and Get Organized but first I have to finish What Do We Do Now because I have priorities.

Figuring out that I must have ADD has been really a crazy thing.

It is kinda a crazy thing to figure out that you have ADD, I'd probably be more depressed about it but I keep getting distracted.
