Its been almost an year since I discovered that I have ADD. I am a 40 year old male, married, with 2 sons aged 11 and 4. I am a professional with 15 years of consolidated experience in sales, field technical support and Product Management in In Vitro Diagnostics. Currently I am saddled with a product portfolio which I have driven to grow at a rate higher than the market growth rate, but also one which faces obsolence(The ELISA technology).
I always considered myself to be disorganised and having a few weaknesses which I am unable to come out of, a person with a weak character?!
Although its a long way to go but after having begun Yoga and meditation I am at greater peace with myself. I have done a few courses organised by the Art Of :Living, the largest NGO in the world who does a lot of work for society besides teaching breathing and meditation techniques.Art of living teaches Sudarshan Kriya and allied practises. For me this is a kind of buoy which helps me stay afloat. I do tend to overdo the practices taught at the courses, in the sense that I do the processes twice or thrice in the day for an hour each, instead of the one hour that is recommended. I do this because it is a neccessity for me in order to be myself.
I work for a Corporate in India and the stress that goes with holding the kind of job that I do, is magnified and has a debilitating effect on someone who is already faced with the challenge of coping with ADD. One challenge that I face is that although I plan for the day I am unable to implement the stuff which I have planned for the 2nd half of the day. This inspite of doing the Sudarshan kriya and Allied practices during the lunch break.

I have read up a lot of articles on ADD, and recently two small innovations that I started are the use of colourful post its to categorise my papers with a sugggestive colour.
I also record myself while in conversation with colleagues so that I can ruminate at a later stage or another part of the day.
The present situation is such that I am away from my wife and kids, at Delhi fighting for survival in the organisation and ironically enough, holding aspirations to grow in the organisation!!!
Best wishes.
