Instead of fighting this I want to use this to my own advantage!!!!!!

    I started experiencing MD from an early age, I can't even remember when. Over these years I think it had both advantages and disadvantages. For instance I never get bored I always have something to think about but as you all know its time consuming and after a while you stop paying attention to your surroundings. Anyway I tried different ways to fight this but lately I've been using that to my own advantage.I'll tell you how. Music is a trigger for me so every time that I want to start a task I find a music related to that task but instead of day dreaming  I immediately start working and I repeat that music over and over maybe for hours, until I finish the task.It really helps me to focus.

To show you how it works let me give you an example. I watched the movie 'King's Speech' a while ago  and I thought the main character of the movie, the king , was so inspiring. This movie was a trigger to me. At that time I was dealing with this project that somehow seemed so challenging, each time I wanted to start working on the project I would listen to the soundtrack of the movie over and over. Because it reminded me of the main character and it had a positive influence on me.

Another technique that I use is that  before staring a task I visualize it with all the details. This really increases your speed because once you start the task it seems that you're doing it for the second time. It really helps.

I'm very interested to know what you guys think about this, give it a try and let me know. If you know other techniques could you please share it with us here.
