I was taking a correspondence course and instead of being thorough with my answers as I always had been (I'm a detail person at heart) I was skimming. I remember my teacher commenting on it.

I seem to have worked it into a habit ever since, more and more so since having more kids, the computer to distract me and more responsibilities.

That probably wouldn't be classed as clinical ADHD but maybe there is a term such as Aquired Adult ADHD :0)

Thanks for the book reference, I think I've heard of it but never read it, I will add it to my list!

It's certainly been true for me in the past until I consciously identified and started working on it.
