Re: Why Some Entrepreneurs Call ADHD a Superpower

@librarian_chef @billd: not everyone who has ADHD is impaired in the same way. Shankman had a weight problem. You don’t know what these people go through, how they minimize their symptoms when talking to the press or how they are challenged in other aspects of their life. And just because people find ways to cope better doesn’t mean their ADHD is any less real.

I use Outlook because work requires it. I’d love it to sync properly with my iPhone, but it’s like getting China and India to have military to military talks. Not very easy and usually ends up with gunfire.

I have to take meetings though, and I’m tired of telling people “I’m free between 2-3 today and 10-3 on Wednesday, and all day Thursday, except not from 12-112:15 and 1:45 to 3:00 aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh.” So now I do two things: (1) I open my schedule to everyone (they can see free time, but not the subject of my meetings) and (2) I book personal time, including an hour or two a week to catch up on organizational stuff. I usually goof off during that hour, but a break is a break.
