Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my wife's car and decide it needs washing. As I start towards the garage, I notice post on the porch table that I picked up from the mat earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my cheque book 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 inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Dr Peppers I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Dr Peppers aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Dr Peppers is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Dr Peppers, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Dr Peppers on the counter and discover my reading glasses 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 spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't 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 pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back 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 Dr Peppers sitting on the counter The flowers don't have enough water, There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book, 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 damn day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!! ![]() |

This sounds worryingly like me. Sparrows have greater attention spans than me.

Now you've been diagnosed it gives you a good excuse to stay in your favourite armchair and watch telly! (Only if it's not a nice day to ride the bike of course) At least you'll have acheived something!
