There are so many ways to process information and my experience at U of T in the Information Studies Masters program has shown me that people deal with information in many different ways. One area that has particularly interested me, especially with my teaching background, is how ADD or ADHD affects the learning and working of adults and teens.
ADD is not longer solely linked to hyperactive boys and increasingly it is being recognized that growing up does not mean the ADD will disappear. Everyone has varying levels of attention deficit in their lives whether it is triggered by lack of sleep, sugar, etc. but there are many individuals who need to figure out strategies that incoporate their ADD tendencies rather than the generic guidelines that were set up some time ago for the "status quo". Rather than feeling guilty that these strategies don't work for them, people can take the time to recognize where they need help and do something about it.
In my program, I have the good fortune to know a fair number of people who are trying out different ways and since we're choosing to be Info. professionals they tend to like to share their ideas! This blog is a place where ideas can be stored for later reference. After receiving an amazing email of advice from a friend (THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!) who battles with procrastination and ADD too, I realized that there could be a chance that other people might benefit too.
