I have adhd, and I find that when I have to sit down and do some work, I need to reward myself regularly, and set myself small goals. For example, I may decide that for every 100 words I write, I can get up and go for a walk around my garden. This helps clear my mind, and allows me to get my work done.
I also get more work done when I am in an environment with few distractions, e.g. a library or empty classroom.
I'm not sure if your question is about adults with adhd, or children. I'm speaking from an adult's perspective. However, I think the same techniques I've described may also be useful to use with children with adhd.
if you're asking for a child, i wrote a hub about it--http://hubpages.com/hub/ADD-ADHD-and-Homework
for myself, i find that frequent breaks are necessary. many of the same techniques work for children and adults as well. we're all really quite the same
For children:
#1. Set a routine time to study, daily.
#2. Find a quiet place without distractions.

Does anyone else feel that ADD/ADHD is a made-up disease?You can't even find a cogent diagnostic method in the Psychological DSM manual for this "disorder." Also, it is impossible to distinguish a kid with ADD from a gifted or brilliant child. Is it a scheme to make money by pushing drugs...

Is ADD and ADHD a "real" condition?As a child, I would probably have been diagnosed with this. But there was no such thing at the time. I often wonder if this is a real condition or if it's simply made up for people who cannot control or handle their children.

Do you think that some people labeled as ADHD, ADD,etc are just extremely creative and expressive?We all know there are those that need medication and have disorders, but do you think there are some that are just extremely creative and need to express it? Do you know anybody like this?

-I recently read a very helpful hub explaining ADD. I do not have much knowledge on ADD, but from reading, I saw I matched every symptom of ADD.-If you have any experience or knowledge with or dealing with ADD, feel free to share.
