It started when I was in third grade when I feel out of my chair.

Thump! I hit the floor with force. Dozens of eyeballs peeking over at me, giggling and pointing.

I hate being the center of attention, but I also have an insatiable defense against embarrassment — a weird dichotomy, I know.

My father, who served as an infantry Marine in the Vietnam War, is who I can blame.

With an incredible sense of humor and a unique skill to royally not give a fuck, he was my teacher.

My ADD is what landed me on the floor.

As the decades have passed, my ADD has become progressively worse if I don’t focus on controlling it, thanks to modern technology.

The distractions are endless. They’re pervasive on every device, in every room, and in all situations.

It’s difficult to escape them. The distraction is endless.

Today’s distraction is called continuous partial attention, which has a detrimental impact on our health.
