Buy Two Power Supplies

Got a laptop?  Work at the office and at the home?

If you’ve got the cash, buy two power supplies.  That’s so much
better than smacking yourself in the head every time you get to one
place and remember that your power supply is at the other.

“ADD at Work” — Royce Flippin

On average, studies suggest, college graduates with ADD earn $4,300 less per year than their peers who don’t have ADD.

– Royce Flippin, ADD at Work, in ADDitude Magazine.

Flippin is a professional writer (not a clinician), and that’s one
big reason that this article is worth passing along to friends or
colleagues who need to know about ADD.  Flippin covers a lot of
territory in ~3 pp. — with plenty of detail on how ADD both hinders and
helps in the workplace.

The sidebar “Are you working in the wrong job?” offers several good
diagnostics (and quotes).  Another sidebar, “10 Ways to be a Better
Worker” offers advice that is more generic, but perfectly apt.
