Great post, it's like you're describing my life - minus that whole "solutions" thing you've got going on :)
Regarding sounds and noises during work, have you tried ambient style music or noise machines in the background, for example:

I've honestly gotten to the point where I can't sit down and get any work done without it, but I'm sort of paranoid that it might be a distraction and I'm not doing my highest level thinking with it on. I have no evidence to support it, just a concern. It may just be that whole "I get my best ideas while showering/jogging/driving" thing, though.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, would you say you've effectively "cured" your ADD with just the techniques you describe, or are you medicated as well?
Anyway, I'd love to read that blog post if you get the chance.
- 128K 13y agoI've listened to classical, and as long as it's slow it's not bad. I've listened to a lot of binaural beats, and for focusing it worked quite well. Thanks for sharing I will definitely check this out. You should run a test comparing amount of code commits made listening as opposed to silence. Kind of like lovesdata did with coffee and universal analytic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27yMQOS8n0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C27yMQOS8n0 I don't think you can cure it. Only suppress it, or harness it. Drugs can only do so much, but taking them while I was in school definitely helped. Believe it or not, medical marijuana helps more than one would think, but it's illegal in my state.
