That’s the really hard part. Just making one or two little changes at a time, when you really want to take them all on at once, jumping from task to task.
I remember, in Grade 10 English class, we studied one of Stephen Leacock’s books, in which a character “leaped onto his horse, and rode madly off in all directions”. The teacher said that this was an example of complete illogic, because you can only go in one direction at a time. I completely disagreed with this, because it was so obvious to me that the character and his horse were zig-zagging all over the countryside—“off in all directions”.
I now recognize that “madly off in all directions” is the working method of most people with ADHD. No wonder it seemed so logical to me, and so illogical to the teacher!
