Hey guys,
You hit the nail on the head again with this one. I tend to be entrepreneurial and jump from one idea to the next. My partner Claire is much more organised and linear. So we tend to complement each other most of the time. I tend to use mind maps to capture as many ideas as possible. We have been experimenting with using your ideas around breaking days into two chunks (morning and afternoon) and focusing on one project for each. Worked well until we get busy training last week and this, then it's gone chaotic again. Good to get a balnce I suppose.....
Warm regards
Graham and Claire

Oh I hear you! I definitely do feel like I have entrepeneurial ADD, a lot of the time. Its my constant focus (ha ha) and challenge to be organised, systematic, and put one foot in front of the other. Its a work in progress. Getting there. but for us, when we are naturally the brainstormers, the ideas person, doing the other is ... well you know!

Sure I like to explore new things, the cooler and shinier the better. But rather than slap a label on it and call it a negative I found a field to play in that is ever changing and keeps me interested. Now that I work with new media I can set aside part of my day to play with the new stuff guilt free.

It might be a juicy rationalization but, Oh Look! Shiny!

The fact is that there are plenty of creative people out there. Creativity is easy to find. Execution is rare, hard, and the real key to success. If you have ADD you have to find a way to focus and execute.

I'm always unfocussed and distracted. My real focus comes when I'm working on someone ELSE'S business. I take it more seriously than when I'm thinking of some way to use CJ, clickbank, JV, write a report or make a video or a zillion other things. It's made me way more money too.

Drive to completeness (D.T.C.) I try not to start something I cant complete from A-Z within a predetermined block of time i.e. 15 minutes,25 minutes,50 minutes.

* There are some nuances to this to much for me to go into right now,but you get the basic premise.
