Yesterday, I caught myself in mid-attention deficit mode. Not that it's the first time.
A glimpse into my world:
I should e-mail my team about the event on Wednesday.
But I'm hungry - don't I still have half a grapefruit in my fridge?
Wait, leave a post-it for Sarah about the database update first.
Where are my plastic spoons?
Eating grapefruit with a plastic spoon is going to be
a pain in my ass.
I should have peeled it like an orange.
I have to pee.
First, I'll e-mail the event on Wednesday.
What if this grapefruit squirts all over me?
And where are the documents I printed for my
10:00 meeting?
Okay, here they are.
Is that grapefruit juice on them?
That reminds me of the time I spilled Diet Coke all over my presentation.
I need to add a quote to my presentation in April.
I'll just google that quickly.
Now I really have to pee.
But wait, what about Wednesday's event?
Dammit, now I'm late for my 10:00 meeting...
The rest of my day was just more of the same.
Attention deficit? I prefer 'multi-tasking.'

hehee love it!
ReplyDeleteYay Moschino Couture! I love grapefruit but they're really a pain to eat. And the constant need to pee really gets in the way of things! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's my life! I like to think that it has more advantages than disadvantages. :o)
ReplyDeleteoooh, I'm so glad you posted this. I already started thinking I was going crazy as my mind usually works like that so at the end of the day I'm left wondering how in the world did I manage to do everything when I keep losing the thread of my thoughts. Or maybe that is the train of my thoughts...
ReplyDeleteHi Frida - glad you liked the post!
ReplyDeleteElisa, Couture happened to be perfect on Friday - I kept catching whiffs of it throughout the day. Yeah, grapefruits are not the most efficient food to eat at work. Lesson learned!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth - isn't it nice to know others share this quality? I agree with you - even though my process is scattered, I seem to accomplish more than most in any given day. Linear thinking is not part of my life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!
Ines, hello! Sometimes I feel inefficient because of my thinking patterns. However, I also realize that this method allows me to be more creative and spontaneous, even though, as you say, I sometimes thing I'm 'going crazy.'
ReplyDeleteStill, it is what it is, and I'm okay with it.
