About the Author

I have ADD. I have been a successful Fortune 100 National Sales Manager. I have received years of corporate training including productivity and organizing techniques. The programs I learned and taught were developed by very strong sales companies. They included Bristol Myers, Revlon and Unilever. I have also spent years as an entrepreneur. I had undiagnosed ADD. I was the student who got the lecture about living up to my potential after teachers saw my SAT scores. I was finally diagnosed with ADD when I was forty. I had what turns out to be a common reaction, “Thank God there is an explanation for all this chaos in my life”. Nevertheless, a diagnosis is not a cure. The usual medications helped but like all mind affecting substances they had a negative side. My doctors went from one medication to another. I did plenty of research. I redoubled my efforts at organization. In the end, I was defeated. I am convinced that those who think ADD is a defect in the brain were right. No matter what I did, I found it almost impossible to avoid problems with tasks I did not like. How can a medication or a calendar get into your thoughts and take control right in that second when you switch to distraction or avoidance? What could prevent it? What do you do when nothing helps you consistently? The idea of what has become Active Thinking started to take form in my mind. I needed something, a thought, so small that it could fit inside my mind and prevent distraction from starting and taking hold. I needed a Mantra. However, a true Mantra is to shut out thought. I needed something that was selective about what thoughts it shut out or let in. I looked at a concept of a mind that has a specific defect. That defect is that it does not see that a task has an end. That mind subconsciously feels that it is stuck in an endless situation. What solution does the mind then have? Find something else to do. Pick up a guitar. Have a cup of coffee. Go for a walk. Go to the bathroom. Go! I am not sure this is a true mental process that happens but it does describe a real event, Attention Deficit.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CitiRetail, Stevenage, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
