		<description><![CDATA[Greetings from Honduras where I&#8217;ve been traveling for the last four weeks.  The abundance of things to do and the lack of many good places to plug in my laptop have distracted me from posting this month.  But today I read a blog from an American expat who lives here, and it got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s news on adult attention deficit disorder:
This lack of ability to concentrate costs the average adult sufferer 22.1 days of &#8220;role performance,&#8221; per year, including 8.7 extra days absent, according to researchers led by Dr. Ron de Graaf of the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction.

		<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 learn [...]]]></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 [...]]]></description>

Is there anything you can put away today?
Similarly, some folks shut their office door when they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Living in the moment&#8221; is one of attention deficit disorder&#8217;s most powerful traits.  Sometimes the &#8220;moment&#8221; is a 45-minute hyperfocused session of playing online solitaire   Other times the &#8220;moment&#8221; is whatever flight of fancy your mind just took you to, away from whatever you intended to be doing.

As Major League Baseball begins to dig out from its steroids scandal, new kinds of performance-enhancing substances are sweeping big-league clubhouses: Ritalin, Adderall and other drugs designed to help with Attention-Deficit Disorder. According to records MLB [...]]]></description>
