Writing a book is no laughing matter. It takes super-human qualities like focus, planning, extended concentration, and self-discipline just to name a few. Those may not sound like super-human qualities to you, but someone with ADHD would give their big toe to be able to sit down for just ten minutes and focus. Only an hour ago I started writing this post and realized that I didn’t have my trusty drink next to me. I went to the kitchen to get a glass and saw a book on the counter that I was supposed to sign and mail out today. Since I couldn’t sign the book with the peanut butter that was distracting me where it lay in a blob on the counter; I hurriedly wiped it up before setting out to find a Sharpie. Twenty minutes later, after getting the book signed and packaged, I returned to the kitchen knowing I was supposed to be doing something but not at all remembering what it was. Since I was already in there, I decided to make myself some lunch and naturally the dishes followed. Since the kitchen was done, I thought I should just pick up the living room so the “bottom-half” of the house could be considered clean’ish. After all of that productivity I surely deserved some me time, so I decided to kill some brain cells on Facebook. I sat down at my computer, looked at the screen and realized that I had completely forgotten about the post I was supposed to be writing. DAMN – and I still don’t have my trusty drink! I’ll be right back…
