ADT is like ADD except it's for people who weren't born with ADD. Engadget summarizes the symptoms. It sounds like everyone I know has this. It says the cure is a vacation. So if you can stand to pay attention long enough, you should read that. You probably have it. If you don't have ADT, you can probably get through the full CNET article about ADT. Tell me about it if you read it. I only got far enough for this excert:
Q: What is ADT?
Hallowell: It's sort of like the normal version of attention deficit disorder. But it's a condition induced by modern life, in which you've become so busy attending to so many inputs and outputs that you become increasingly distracted, irritable, impulsive, restless and, over the long term, underachieving. In other words, it costs you efficiency because you're doing so much or trying to do so much, it's as if you're juggling one more ball than you possibly can.
Are you still reading here? I'm impressed. What was I blogging about again?
