If you have ADD, its probably often. We dont know about you, but we hate the word should. Its terrible, and it makes people with attention deficit frustrated and confused. The only person who should ever be telling you what you should or shouldnt be doing is you.
Why is it that you should be doing something that your ADD decided you shouldnt?
When your attention deficit kicks in and says youre bored, you get frustrated really easily, right? And this happens, especially when youre telling yourself you should do something thats boring. Then, you get even more frustrated.
When youre frustrated, unless youve gotten good at reframing frustration (which is a whole other topic), boredom slows motivation to a crawl, or even sometimes puts it in reverse. These are major stumbling blocks that people with ADD face as a result of boredom. When youre unmotivated, when youre frustrated, when youre jumping around from thing to thing, while youre trying to force yourself to do that thing thats driving you absolutely insane, how do you feel about yourself?
You feel miserable, dont you?
We dont know about you, but weve had plenty of times where we were jumping back and forth because we were bored, not necessarily aware of that we were exhibiting that ADD behavior. When this happens to you, you may say to yourself, Theres something really wrong with me, because everybody else seems to be getting stuff done, and Im not getting anything done.

But youre bored. Thats it.
So, how can you just crush boredom?
You need to sidestep it. Some people would say, Youre just using your ADD to get out of it. Yes, youre absolutely trying to get out of doing things that make you bored. We all do it, whether we have ADD or not. Some people dont want to admit it.
If youre going to try to sidestep boredom, were not saying to shirk here. Were not saying to become a slacker. Im not saying do nothing instead. No. You probably need to the boring things done worse than anything else in your life right now, because your ADD has you procrastinating on them in most cases. teknidermy.com / issue / 13 / fizzgig:: fizzgig: jeez… this is like work. i saw a commercial today for adult ADD. .

We want to avoid that, no matter what, for a couple of different reasons. Number one is that when you have attention deficit, youre not necessarily good at doing repetitive tasks or tasks that you deem to be boring. Its not a strength, so as always, you have a choice. You can go with your strengths, or you can work against them. At the moment, you keep forcing yourself; youre working against them.
Its okay not to want to do the boring stuff.
The first thing is to take a look at some of the boring things that youre doing on a daily basis. Focus your ADD brain on whats going on right now. How many boring things are you doing in your life? How many fun things are you doing in a day?
The vast majority of your day should be spent doing things that really excite you. Hire people that dont have this ADD issue, outsource tasks, and barter with people-depending on the situation-to do the things that bore you.
It cant actually happen until number one, youve taken a look at what youre doing, and number two, you focus your ADD and write these things that youre doing down. Do that for a week. Are you looking at email, doing the laundry, scrubbing the floors, feeding the dogs, working in sales and marketing, or writing a book? What are all the tasks that you are doing?
Next, youve got to categorize. Youve got to know how much of your time is being spent doing different kinds of activities. If youre ADD frustrated and youre spinning right now, or youre feeling stuck, those are all indicators that youre bored.
Well talk more about this in our next article to help you overcome that easily reached attention deficit tendency for boredom.
