		<description><![CDATA[Have ADHD?  The ability to hyperfocus can make you very successful.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I want to talk about <strong>hyperfocus </strong>and how you can use it to become very successful in life.</p>
<p>Most people with ADHD will know what I mean by hyperfocus.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s when you overfocus on a task.  That task gets all your attention and all outside distractions get blocked out.  Often hours will pass and you will not notice.</p>
<p>So when you are in hyperfocus you are seriously focused on the task at hand, and you may not hear me if I talk to you.  In fact, you may get pretty irritated if interrupt that way!</p>
<p>Lots of people with ADHD hyperfocus on video games, socializing online, or reading fiction.</p>
<p>They lose a lot of time that way&#8230;</p>
<p>What you need to know is that <strong>hyperfocus could and should be used to your advantage</strong>.</p>
<p>I fact, many writers, scientists, and entrepreneurs have used hyperfocus in order to become extremely successful.</p>
<p>And so should you.</p>
<p>You might know already what subjects and actions interest and excite you &#8211; you will tend to hyperfocus on those automatically.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t &#8211; pay close attention. This may be the secret to your success.</p>
<p>Once you know what makes you go into hyerfocus, you should see how you can get that to work for you.</p>
<p>For example, I tend to hyperfocus when I have a difficult logical problem to solve.  This makes computer programming a good career choice for me.  When I have a task that I need to program, I could work on it for hours and get it done really well.</p>
<p>Other people really like to write, and they will hyperfocus on that.</p>
<p>What is it that brings you into hyperfocus?  How can you use it to your advantage?</p>
<p>Finding the answers to these questions can make all the difference in your life.</p>
<p><strong>Not only will you be more successful, but you will have fun and enjoy life a lot more than now!</strong></p>
