I am easily distracted, particularly by noise. If someone is talking to me and a radio or tv is on, I lock in on the radio/tv. At the movies, I lock in on the popcorn eating and not the movie. At work, I am distracted by loud typists and people clicking their pens. I hate this about myself! I am also a procrastinator. In college, I couldn't write a paper until my whole apt was clean, my checkbook balanced, etc. At work, i don't make calls until I check all my email accounts, check the headlines, etc. Several years ago I got tested for ADD and was told that while I exhibited many symptoms, I did not have ADD/ADHD bcs my grades were always too good. If I *truly* had ADD/ADHD, I would have failed grades or been fired from jobs. I've been told to see a psychologist to get re-tested, but they are expensive and I don't have much money and I have a very high deductible. What alternatives do I have? Please, no martial arts or breathing answers. Thanks.
