| Ah yes, the "I have a solution, but I forgot to implement it"
syndrome: another great ADD problem. I don't know how
many times I've made a to-do list, but then forgotten to consult
the list. Sheesh.
- To-do list: on current page of daytimer which lies open on
the desk.
- Current item: on sticky on computer
screen.
- Keys: hanging from cell phone (in charger) so I
won't forget my cell phone
- Other things important in
daily life: in backpack which I hardly ever forget to take with
me.
If it sounds like I have to program my whole life with little
tricks, you're right, I do. I don't usually talk about
them because most people just don't believe they're necessary.
They think I ought to "just focus more". My family says
that a lot, then they wonder why I don't come visit more often.
Oh darn, I was going to avoid going down the bitterness
path... um, ok...
My suggestion to everyone with ADD: repeat with me the great
mantra: "Do what works. Do what works. You don't need
anyone's permission to do what works." |
