A little background

I'm Greg. I turned 30 yesterday and today I start Cogmed. I have non-hyperactive ADD with symptoms going back for as long as I remember.

I've been a freelance programmer for the last 3 and a half years, and I've gotten myself into plenty of scrapes due to problems with self management and trouble learning on demand.

I learned about Cogmed in a rather odd place, last year at Dragon*Con 25. There was a speaker in the Science track who has a practice administering Cogmed and gave an introduction to the concept. That was a good 7 months ago and I've finally taken all the steps to go ahead and do it.

The blog that is to follow was a complete accident. I was doing my first run and all of these thoughts came to me, and I had to put them down somewhere. After completing it, I thought it would be a good idea to actually publish it in order to keep me on track and to keep my coach in the loop and if anyone was curious about the process, they could see it as it happened.

Here's to five weeks of excruciating fun!
