Found a mention about this in a book by the German coach Martin Wehrle (titled: “Bin ich hier der Depp?”), who describe how many aspect of modern work environments can literally make people ill - and often are like designed for that.
ADT, or “Attention Deficit Trait”, is similar to ADHD, but is caused purely by environment - constant interruptions, unrealistic schedules, high pressure, lack of empathic interaction, impossible multi-tasking (a thing that computers can do well, but not humans), neverending stream of notifications by electronic media, addictive-by-design apps, and nagging software and operating systems are what causes it, resulting in an inability to “switch off”.
If one has difficulties correlated with job changes, this might be worth consideration. Myself, a year ago I left a job in a renowned research organization that piled up about 40 parallel urgent projects in the course of five years. The difference has been night and day.
Maybe, but in my memories my childhood wasn’t super full of overstimulation. We didn’t have a TV at home and my mom was fairly good at seeing me rested, because if I wasn’t I’d be super annoying to her.
If anything, I was responsible for my overstimulation at home once I had a pc and access to the internet. It probably could be a factor though, because, my then undiagnosed ADHD, usually was only a problem at school. And school was very overstimulating at times.
But I feel I wouldn’t have turned out super different if school and the rest of the world had been less stimulating. Alot of the problems I had could be attributed to ADHD and they started pretty early in school. I can’t remember a lot about my live before school but from what I’m told it was relatively stress free, at least for me. But parents being constantly stressed can also affect their children, so who knows really…
Yeah, it’s mostly a musing I thought I’d get some feedback on, so, thanks :)
