Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

Do you feel like your mind is constantly racing jumping from one thought to another

making it hard for you to stay on track with your work? Do you find yourself

overwhelmed by the incessant buzzing of emails, text messages, notifications, and the unending list of tasks that seem to grow every minute?

Perhaps you've noticed an unsettling pattern of forgetfulness,

restlessness, and a perverse sense of being constantly on edge in your

workspace, a feeling that even follows you into your home life.

Today's hyper-connected lifestyle is especially likely to lead to poor concentration,

memory, overload, and short attention spans.

It's not uncommon to experience these feelings.

These conditions actually mimic well-known attention disorders, yet stems from

our everyday work environment and lifestyle choices.

Harvard professors Edward Holloway and John Rady call the condition pseudo-attention deficit disorder.

While AEDD and ADHD causes are where you are distracted and interrupted from the inside of your brain,

pseudo-A-D-D has more to do with you being distracted and interrupted by the outside world, meaning it is not you interrupting you, as much as it is other people interrupting you.

When other people email, text, call, knock at the door, blurt something out. You often feel like you better attend

to them, you better take care of them because if you don't, maybe they'll get mad,

huffy or upset. So you do, and you do it all day.

And more at home.

The simple cure for pseudo-AdD is setting boundaries, saying no, responding with no, I can't speak to you right now.

But we have a hard time doing that.
