Andre Brisson describes how ADHD affects his work as an entrepreneur. A ball cap and tomorrow's items sit in one spot on a hutch, but a single piece of paper left on the hat makes everything vanish from his mind and derails his whole day.
Chapters
What was I doing in the past that kind of made things work? And actually what I ended up realizing is I started observing everything that was annoying my wife, everything I did or other people around me that I felt was important. Like my hat. I'm a ball cap guy, okay? So I never realized this, but I have a corner of the hutch. I need that corner free, clear, because I put my hat there. And if, say, my keys and wallet, for some reason I change sets of clothes and they're not in my next set of change of clothes that night, I put it in my hat. Everything I need to bring to the next thing that's not my standard packaging or routine was there. And if you put a piece of paper on that hat, that thing's disappeared. Literally, it's disappeared. I can't find it. And it just drives me nuts. And my day is just derailed.
