I should take my own advice

I just realized something, that after what I said about making myself concentrate better in class and improving my habits, I haven't really done anything about my homework habits. For those people who read my last two posts in the ADD/ADHD section, I was saying how I just have to have the will to focus in order to overcome ADD. That's helped my general attention span, but my study habits are horrible. I don't make myself focus, and I don't force myself to do better.I guess I just wanted to say that, hopefully I'll get something out of this. I'm going to go do my remaining homework now, lol

I have ADHD and believe me, it's very hard to control. All through Elementry, Jr High, and High School I had a big problem with it. It was very hard for me to just sit still and do my work... instead I'd get bored and get up and walk to room talking to every person I saw. Which in turn ended up making the other students not have their work done. My parents and teachers called me a social butterfly and in ways it was true. Everything would distract me... someone flipping through a book, someone tapping a pen on a desk... everything. The only way my teachers could ever get me to focus was to take me to one side of the room (away from all other students) and make me do my work. It worked because I ended up graduating a strait A student. ADHD is hard to control, but it can be over come, believe me, it is possible. You just have to find what works best for you.
