Believe it or not I am multi=tasking right now. I am
1) posting and reading on this forum
2) reading "The Rise and Fall of the Thrd Reich" by William Shirer
3) Telemarketing for my dad's wedding videoography business

I can actually concentrate better doiing all these things at ounce rather than seperatley. Is this just another example of the way we ADDers work or what? :confused:

Oh ya !!! :D

I see your from Ma. also...... Hi !

that is definitely an example of the way we work. I cannot do only one thing at a time..no way. Id go nuts!

I am also juggling several things at the moment .......a weird combination.
Cruising ADD forum, eating Peanuts, painting fingernails, writing my aunt, watching a movie and listening to my husband snore :)

I don't know if you can consider all of the above tasks, but I feel like my time is wasted if I dont juggle at least two things at once.

Yes, I used to the same but I've been fighting with myself to give up this habbit and I don't know I'm right about this or not, but it helps. I used to put things in small chunks like 10 minutes and for 10 minutes I was doing task A for the the next 10 minutes I was doing B and then switched back to A and B and like this, I'm on 40mg Ritalin and it hasn't helped me with sustained attention, wish someone someday writes a book or sth and teaches a number of these tricks to ADD people, or maybe we should do it?

Downfall to multi small chunk tasking (what a phrase!) would be distraction between works and low efficiency but if thats how the ADD mind works, maybe it'll be better than not being able to focus at all.
