    Default Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder (AAADD).

    This is how it manifests:



    I decided to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish can under the table, and notice that the can is full. I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the postbox when I take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.



    I take my chequebook off the table, and see that there is only one cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

    I'm going to look for cheques, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.



    As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye -- they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the counter and I discover my reading glasses I that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.



    I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realise that tonight when we go to watch TV, we will be looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.



    I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.



    Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.



    At the end of the day -- the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one cheque in my chequebook, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.



    Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.



    I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
