This is a pretty good article, from my point of view as an undiagnosed probable ADHD sufferer (I dropped out of high school over this kind of thing).

I wrote a book about my coping strategies— which invert most of the common productivity-fetish advice. For instance, I value procrastination. It has important benefits.

A key move for me was to stop thinking of my mind as if it were a power boat and start thinking of it as a sailboat. Hence my book on professional self-education: Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar.

Another key move was to recognize that discipline is not my road to getting things done. Rather, my motivator is helping people.

I am also usually very careful about what I promise. Most of my promises are to do things that I have already completed, or as near as.
