"My work has a Life Long Learner's book club and I joined it when I saw them about to start this book...figured it couldn't hurt! Funny to see a book about this because I've been saying for years that everyone in our society has ADD now because of the way things come at us and the way we are expected to react to all of the input. Not sure if or how reading about it is going to help but if nothing else, misery loves company. haha
Update 9/9/09: I am laughing at the fact that having a reading assignment for LLL ostensibly adds to the crazy-busy-ness of my life, but conversely having to pace myself to read only the chapters we'll be discussing every two weeks is also stressing me out. It's a SUPER fast read being broken down painfully slowly. Which should be a good thing...but somehow isn't."
""Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap" An honest view of our maxed-out lives and some strategies for taking time back, slowing down, and recognizing the pros and cons of our new connectedness and technology."
"Mostly disappointing. I went into it sold on the premise that the constant distractions of today's society can create ADD-like symptoms, but the book did not provide much new information. Granted, the book's layout did not translate well to audio: too many lists. I was just hoping for more."
"I got halfway through this one and realized I was reading the same advice chapter after chapter. It was so repetitive that I considered abandoning it after the first 30 pages. I hung in for 30 more. I won't bother any further. It's a great book for folks who've never much though about time management, and even for folks who have, there's good reminders. Just don't expect to finish it."
