what did you learn today?

I actually learned a lot today.
Been reading up on brain waves, and how they can affect ADD.
I try so hard to focus, but it's at times impossible!
And here's what I found:

There are 5 main brain wave types:

Delta - sleeping or super-deep meditation
Theta - meditation or deep contemplation
Alpha - Awake, alert, but not really in learning mode. Nothing to see here.
Beta - Go-go-go! Excited, fast-paced state of mind.
Gamma - Quicker than Beta. One often can process the 'bigger picture' in this state.

I tend to stay in Theta. Hence my tendency towards introspection, lack of clear focus at times, lack of general anxiety, and aloofness.

So what to do, then?
I learned that I can use binaural beats to raise my mental 'clock speed'
to get out of zombie-brain mode. Very useful!

As far as I can see, this can replace medication.
(I've always been sketchy on popping pills to fix problems one would -normally- need to deal with oneself)

For the record, a frequency between alpha and beta will knock out ADD. Simple as that.
Too low will disable your ability to focus, too high will make you anxious and jittery.
