		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if executives with attention deficit disorder mess up any more than other executives, but I do know that on occasion, we miss deadlines, we forget meetings, we get names wrong.  We interrupt and embarrass our clients or colleagues, we accidentally deliver incorrect products, and we break fragile mementos. All executives need to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Attention deficit disorder doesn&#8217;t help people focus on priorities. Immediate pleasure attracts our attention and immediate pain distracts us. But what about longterm pleasure and longterm pain? We don&#8217;t motivate ourselves toward managing those nearly as well. Data can help. And for starters, here are three numbers we need to know if we want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was playing tennis today with my best friend and regular opponent, who asked after a while, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with you? It seems like on every other point, you&#8217;re turning your head away from the ball to look at something else, right before you start your swing.&#8221; Granted, we were playing in a big park [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People with ADD can make things more complicated than they have to be. Sometimes, this trait shows up in the products or services they try to sell.  &#8220;Blessed&#8221; with both smarts and many ideas, the ADDexec tries to create something of extraordinary value &#8212; several steps beyond what most people ever thought they could need, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is being in a state of &#8220;flow&#8221; the same as being in a state of hyperfocus? Flow (as first described by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) is almost always considered a good thing. By contrast, hyperfocus in the context of attention deficit disorder is sometimes considered good, like when we&#8217;re deeply and fully engaged with an important task [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Find Your Market Niche and Stay FocusedJim A. says one of the key things he&#8217;s done that has contributed to his success is finding a market niche that no other baker occupies. &#8220;We&#8217;ve positioned ourselves as having a unique product. We don&#8217;t have a lot of competitors, and that has allowed us to maintain fairly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I learned that quality requires minute attention to every detail, that everyone in an organization wants to do a good job, that written instructions are seldom adequate, and that personal involvement needs to be frequent, friendly, unfocused, and unscheduled—but far from pointless. And since its principal aim is to seek out people&#8217;s thoughts and opinions, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just done a cursory web search to see if there&#8217;s any research on the use of music as a moderating stimulus to help with attention deficit disorder.  To my surprise, I saw almost nothing. Does music help or hinder your ability to stay focused when you&#8217;re working? I find that reasonably &#8220;calm&#8221; music can [...]]]></description>
