Re: Driving, and dealing with anxiety

I think one of the reasons that I am less organized now that I’m retired is that I no longer have as many external schedules imposed on me.

I wonder how often people with ADD join the military so that they will be FORCED to be organized?!?!?! Have you heard of those “boot camps” that people facing prison time can sometimes choose instead? I wonder how many of those that choose that option are ADD? I know one person who asked for the boot camp option and I was sure he was ADD when Ihe was a little kid.

Anyway, back to my original topic: I DO think external schedules can force an ADD person to be more organized than they would be otherwise. We have six kids–if I didn’t try hard to be organized, things would have been CHAOS.
