Episode 11: An Unfocused Look at Focus

“The Mikes” discuss the things that pull at their attention and how they balance them with their intentions. Despite the rather apparent fact that neither Mike is a doctor, they attempt to examine Schechter’s diagnosed ADHD and contrast it with Vardy’s tendency towards overstimulation. Join Vardy and Schechter as they hone in on the elusive subject of focus.

Note: Schechter here, if you’re looking for an in depth examination of coping with with ADD or ADHD, I’ve always been partial to Edward Hallowell’s Driven To Distraction. Also, a few of you may have incurred some duplicate episodes when we made the switch over to 70Decibels. To remove these, just delete and resubscribe to the podcast in Instacast.
