Being an ADD/ADHD youth worker #6: have more than one stimulus going at all times.

This is one of those things that people without ADD really have a hard time understanding. My mother was always on my case about having my record player going while I studied. She could not concentrate when something else was going on, so how could I? What she didn't understand is that I cannot concentrate without something else going on.
  • As much as I love the contents of libraries they are deadly to me.
    • I simply must have 2-3 things going on at the same time.
    • My ideal study habit in college and seminary was:
    • rocking vigorously in a rocking chair,
    • eating and drinking
    • listening to music
    • plowing through a stack of books – 15 minutes at a time.
    • I could go for hours like that.
  • This is basically how I write sermons...
  • My nephew, who does not share my love and appreciation of music, without prompting, also said he had to have music on at all times when he was trying to concentrate.
  • What do I do when I am trying to make music-- practicing guitar? TV (Crash and burn movies or sports. Something without a plot)
