Thread: I have "Summer ADHD".

At some point every summer I start working on things, but I lose interest quickly and wander off to something else. I think I have summer-induced ADHD.

For example, I got up early this morning to run errands. I called my mom to see if she wanted to go with me. I needed to get a couple of coupons, and I ended up looking through ALL of them and sorting/throwing out. Then I caught sight of my freshly washed bookbags from yesterday, and I remembered that I had two still drying in the shower, so I went to get them and put them outside. I saw the trash can lid outside, which reminded me to go get the trash can. I saw the garage and remembered to load the weedeater into the truck to take it for a repair today. I saw the garden when I went to the garage, so I picked peppers and tomatoes on the way back to the house.

Finally get out of the house. After an afternoon of errands & shopping, I come home . . . around 7:00. Since then I've wandered from activity to activity, yet nothing is finished. The laundry room had two piles of laundry in the floor. The dining room table contains the contents of my bookbag . . . that was washed yesterday. There is a trash bag of old papers that came out of the desk in the office. The living room floor has four bags of stuff that I bought for work,, plus the basket of stuff I brought home from school. Half the stuff in the office has moved the guest room because I"m redoing the office. The office is in a state of disorder. The television is on in the bedroom and the living room.

And here I sit on the couch messing around online at nearly 1:00 in the morning.

I'm going to have to make myself a schedule before I completely lose myself in unfinished projects.
