Attention Deficit Disorder Student Handbook

1.  Try to schedule work periods during which you will not be interrupted. Inform your supervisor and subordinates of the importance of this to your job performance.

2.  Schedule intensive work in short, time-limited chunks.

3.  If you are distracted by a rapid flow of ideas tangentially related to a current project or other projects, write down or audio-tape the intruding thoughts in a "brainstorming log."

4.  When making meeting presentations, use an outline of what you must say and stick to it.

5.  If you become distracted by your own ideas while listening to others speak at meetings, jot down your ideas as you listen.

6.  Keep your workspace orderly. Do not, however, use desk clearing as a distraction from tasks that must be done.

7.  If you are distracted by returning phone calls, opening mail etc., train yourself to avoid these diversions and keep on task.
