Got ADD? [HD BizBlog 1.2]
Rosemary of the Daily PlanIt tipped me off to this site by Peter Quily, ADDCoach4U, which has a wonderful list of positive attributes of the ADD adult:
Ability to find alternate paths to overcome obstacles
Able to take on large situations
Adaptive/collaborative
Adventurous, courageous, lives outside of boundaries
[…]
Philosophical
Holistic thinking
Playful
Pragmatic
Problem solver
Profound
Quick thinking
Quick witted
It is a long list and it was created by seminar participants asked to describe positive influences that their ADD has had on their lives. Many of these qualities are the ones that we see over and over in “self-improvement” articles. Take a few minutes and peruse the whole list.
Which of these qualities is descriptive of your own personality? How does ADD help you to become successful?
And the most important question: Which of these attributes do you think that you could add to your description in order to improve your productivity and the quality of your life?
I chose these:
- Compassion for others and for themselves.
- Learning as much as I can to help children and others with ADD.
- Thinks 2 meters ahead of the world.
- Very creative, able to generate a lot of ideas.
I am adding these qualities to my list of actions to review weekly.
