Studying from an ADD Point of View

I think that people with Attention Deficit Disorder are special. I have determined that I have ADD. Well, actually a friend of mine keeps pointing out all my ADD tendencies.

A person with ADD needs multiple tasks in order to concentrate. Therefore, I've determined that in order to be a great multi-tasker, one must be ADD.

I have been trying to study for a marketing exam and find that I must have the television going, and have other sites open on my computer in order to be able to study the material in question. I get distracted if there is not something else going on.

What do you think? Has anyone else noticed a tendency toward multiple tasks in order to be successful?

Learning to Live

I've decided that someone needs to teach us how to learn to live. We learn everything in school, but we never really catch on to what living is about.

Do we live to make a living? Or do we make a living so that we may truly live?

I find myself so caught up in the everyday hassles of life, that when I take time out to truly enjoy something, I feel guilty about wasting my time.

A couple of nights ago I spent a few hours with my friends enjoying fellowship, conversation, pizza, and knitting. It was great! But I think about those hours as time I could have been studying and I feel guilty. My husband does not understand my need to be with other friends and have some "me" time. He will get there though. I am refusing to feel guilty any longer! I am refusing to live my life to work. I want to work so I can LIVE my life!
