This is pretty scary. You just described me to a "T" (except the Evernote part - I use Onenote). I've been lucky enough however, to fall into jobs where I became the "tech lead" and as such, explore all sorts of new technologies and systems every day. But jeez, maybe I'm ADD. Appreciate the post!

It's me, too. I am craving a more "chaotic" multifaceted career and have been trying to make a change. But, who cares if some people created a term, ADD? Clearly, humans didn't evolve to sit in a chair in a quiet room doing the same thing all day. Do I have "ADD" when I'm running a massive event involving 200 participants with issues popping up all over the place, having to make quick decisions on my feet and managing people? Not even close. Do I have "ADD" when I'm sitting in an office doing rote paperwork tasks and answering the same email over and over again? Hell yes I do. And I don't see anything wrong with that. I see something wrong with those who think this is a "disorder." Which type of job sounds closer to how humans spent their days 50,000 years ago?

By the way, parent, you and I are probably all INTP or similar.

I'm done fighting it and being depressed about it and now embrace it. I'm glad I'm a generalist who would love nothing more than to try every job out there once and am hungry to learn about all the complex things out there.
