It will help you find the balance and figure out techniques that provide you calm in the stress (ADD) related focus moments.
As one person shared, it's not that they are not paying attention, it's that they are paying attention to everything, and having to sort through information quickly to find the one to focus on takes tremendous effort. It is exhausting, and can create anxiety adding depression when it overwhelms even the most simple task.
I think it will work for you. Keep a daily journal so you can see what works, and just as important, what is not working when.
Best wishes.
