Everybody Tells Me I'm ADD...

Our inattentive culture created disorganized minds in just about everyone.

I have ADHD. Seems like everyone does these days. I’m a card carrying ADHD’er — combined type, which means I fall into the categories of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Usually, this means I my mind is spinning 24/7 and I’ll have bursts of energy leading to projects that get two thirds of the way complete. My Mother used to say I’d go at something 110% for a bit and get bored. It’s hard to focus when so many interesting things are saying, “Look at me, Laura!”
