Speaking as an ADD person, I can tell you that it is impossiblefor me to do for any length of time. If something isn't holding my attention spontaneously, all the trying in the world is just going to frustrate and likely exhaust whatever resevoirs (sp) of neurotransmitters I have in the process. I suspect its the same for everyone, but not to such an obvious degree.
