Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can make paying attention and keeping focused a challenge, especially over extended periods of time. When it comes to organizing and finishing projects, they’ll often get distracted, which causes tasks to take a lot longer to complete. ADD doesn’t affect the individual’s ability to learn and understand information but makes it harder to remain focused and manage daily tasks and activities.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) shares a lot in common with ADD in that it causes issues with concentration and focus. Meeting deadlines, remembering details, and even multitasking can become much more complicated than it should be, as these symptoms intensify when paired with Hyperactivity Disorder. Patients often feel a need to move and engage in physical activity. This contributes to the patients moving from task to task without ever really accomplishing anything.

Poor time management skills
Impulsive behaviors
