			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so it begins&#8230; It seems appropriate to make some kind of mission statement in the first post. What will this blog be about? Why would anyone want to read it?</p>
<p>As stated in the &#8216;<a target="_blank" href="http://focusfighter.wordpress.com/about/" title="About">about</a>&#8216; page, I&#8217;m a somewhat effective manager. I also have a pretty fierce case of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder" title="AD/HD - Wikipedia">AD/HD</a>. I&#8217;ll never be a  <a href="http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dhgq7pc8_3cgjfz4">GTD master</a>, but I can accomplish some things they would never think of in their peculiar state of OCD. If I know anything, it&#8217;s that it takes everything I&#8217;ve got to stay on task and organized. The challenges within myself have been numerous and daunting. But with the right tools, know-how, and attitude, I&#8217;ve been able to build some success.</p>
<p>I have a desire to share this knowledge. I want to instill, with other people that struggle with this conditon in the business world, a sense of courage, hope, and tenacity to make it work.</p>
<p>But first, a couple of declarations:</p>
<p><strong>This blog will always be positive. </strong>I know AD/HD can be a struggle, but there will be no &#8220;woe-is-me&#8221; rants. That won&#8217;t help anyone. This will always focus on overcoming the obstacles, not about the obstacles themselves.</p>
<p><strong>The suggestions could help anyone. </strong>The hi-tech gadgets, attitudes, and jedi mind-tricks stated therein should be of benefit to anyone in business, not just the scatterbrained supervisor. Don&#8217;t dismiss the ideas just because you&#8217;re &#8220;normal.&#8221; Many people could stand a little help with organization.</p>
<p><strong>Please comment! </strong>It would help me <u>immeasurably</u> to keep up with this venture if I knew some of you were reading it, let alone benefiting from it. You are my motivation, purpose and external structure. Help me help others!</p>
<p>Thanks for visiting! Be sure to add this site to your RSS feed. There will be much, much, more to come.</p>
<p>If I can remember to do it, that is&#8230;. <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
