Silence is not the answer.

So, I've done some more thinking about this blog and trying to figure out the best way it is going to encourage, and enlighten the people reading it. I don't want to it to be something people just skim over. I'd rather give you small portions, that are quick to read, useful, and you can apply if you want to.

As I have told you in other posts part of the reason someone with ADD is so easily distracted is because they pay attention to everything.

My suggestions for helping a highly-distracted-individual stay on task:

1. Play music. That may seem surprising and most parents would probably suggest that their kids turn off the music but I would disagree in most cases (everyone is different and this is why it's only my suggestion!). I would suggest playing the kind of music that that particular person likes and knows. Of course it shouldn't be loud and I wouldn't really suggest head phones. The music will help drown out all their extra thoughts and distractions. This may help, it helped me all through school with home work and it helps me in my adult life too. If I am cooking or cleaning and have the music going, it is much more likely I will keep on the task then if I am trying to do it in silence.

Try and let me know if it works.
