Malkuth Damkar: ADD
the blesses & curses of attention deficit disorder
Creativity is born in so many ways. And that’s the way I like to think of it: born. Ideas have gestation periods – constantly varied gestation periods at that – some instinct thoughts, some long processes.
This is one of the most raw and inspiring presentations I’ve seen – and I have the privilege of knowing Mal personally. Intelligent and insightful – especially over a beer – Mal’s a man with exceptional experience in technology, digital and creativity & design (both virtual and real world).
Innovation, creativity – destruction & creation.

A lot of what you mentioned there I think I have as well: many ideas/completion is difficult/procrastination. Does that make me a candidate for ADD? possibly.
I wonder how many of these are being asked of us these days in the fast-paced world we live in? Many of the items you mentioned probably (generalising here) exist in all of us to some extent – ask your work colleague if they feel they achieved something by the end of a work day or work week? How many times have been asked to stop working on project X and start on Project Y (quite a few for me).
Thanks for sharing, loved it! :-)
Hey Andrew,
For adults I believe the best thing to do is to see a GP and you can actually have an MRI I think. And there’s deviations away from being diagnosed etc.
Thanks for reading, and another thanks to Mal for sharing.
