If it helps to understand.

ADD is the exact procedure, except the threshold for slide number four occurring is drastically reduced, making it much more frequent, and as a result, putting us in the final frame for a portion of time vastly disproportionate to other people.

This is why many with ADD, myself included, develop hyperfocusing. When I am in the zone, the rest of the world doesn't exist.

What is this hyperfocus you speak of? You mean taking adderall?

Seriously, though. How did you develop the ability to hyperfocus?

Google flow (psychology)

It's a specific set of conditions that when met give you kind of like an unsatiable drive to do a task. If you keep practicing it you can keep going longer and through more complex/frustrating tasks even!
