    I think my ADHD superpower is that I can think through a problem very quickly and find the loose ends.  I may think of something from a totally different perspective than others.  A lot of times my mind won’t let go of a problem until it’s fixed!

    Sometimes if I’m having a bad ADHD day, I just write off the day as … well, “a bad ADHD day” and I just let it go.  I find holding onto the frustration makes the next day worse and it builds from there.

    YES!  I’m so bad about the “but what if?” questions running through my head when I’m trying to make a decision.

    No – from the about page:

     Totally ADD is a division of Big Brain Productions Inc., a privately-owned company based just west of Toronto, in Ontario, Canada. Both ADD & Loving It?! and Totally ADD were initially created with funding from the Canadian Television Fund (CTF) and Ontario Tax Credits. We tell you that because so many people ask if pharmaceutical companies paid for ADD & Loving It?! or Totally ADD and the answer is absolutely not.

    I have trouble expressing myself verbally AND on paper.  Yikes!  Outlines are my friend though.  I have to get my thoughts together beforehand using outlines for any kind of meeting or something where I have to lead others.  I usually have to go back and modify/edit what I’m going to say, because other thoughts will run from it, and there’s got to be a way to organize it.  I’ll put it away and come back to it later, and that helps tremendously.

    Here’s another one for getting rid of paper receipts.  I’d probably use it, except my husband likes having the paper copy around.  It just makes things hard for me, but oh well.  Anyway, I’ve used it for small projects to track spending on a particular hobby and it works:

    Hmm, looks like you can only edit a post once?  Anyway, the URL for Todo.ly is:

    I just found another online one called Todo.ly.  It’s free but there’s a pro account you can buy too for more features.  I started using Skoach again (http://skoach.com) so I don’t use RTM as much, but I may use Todo.ly now since you can organize projects better.  It doesn’t look like they have apps for your smart phone though.

    This might help to see if they are generic or not:  http://www.drugs.com/pill_identification.html

    Are they generics?  Sometimes generics don’t work as well or work differently than the name brand.

    I don’t do it now, but when I was in college, I used to study to fast techno music.  What was up with that??  LOL

    I get the splash screens too, but it looks like there are certain topics (created in groups?) that are premium only when you try to read them.   Maybe that’s why they keep coming up.  Perhaps there is a way to hide them on the Recent Posts right hand side so that premium threads don’t show?
