I know a girl who freely admits she has ADD. I don't know if she's ever been diagnosed, but it seems somewhat liberating for her.

Our society is so much about "multi-tasking" which is a fancy way of saying doing a bunch of things average instead of doing one thing really well. I was just reading a study on attention that basically found when you get taken away from an activity-- to check email or answer the phone-- it takes 25 minutes to fully pick up at where you were at before.

This is quite interesting, because who among us ever does a single thing for 25 minutes at a stretch! In our jobs, most of us would say that's flat out impossible. So we're doing a whole bunch of stuff...but is it any good?!?
