Not finishing the job you first set out to do.

My work history was always multi-tasking and I always completed everything on schedule. With things around the house, I often go to something else before one is finished but not because I forget. A kitchen project is partially finished because I got an achy back working on it. I haven't gotten around to painting yet but have all the supplies and when I'm in the mood it's raining. The bonsai tree I was going to re-pot yesterday didn't get done and now since it already has 4" roots and can't be grown in a typical shallow bonsai pot, I've decided to put that little tree in the yard and get another bonsai. Today instead of doing any of the above, I suddenly decided to switch out living room and sun room couches. It seemed to be the thing to do on a stormy day. Each day goes like that for me.

Silbury Hill is very interesting, Jezer. Thanks for posting!

That's a perfect example of feeling the need to fix everything right away and not getting anything completed. I hope I never get like that. It's my opinion this particular attention deficit is not always age-related. I've seen it many times in young people, even kids.

That's more true for me at work. It's not uncommon for three people to need you at once. Great pictures Jezer but I'd love to see more ponies and snow or ponies in snow.

Great one Jezer! I try to console myself, by saying, "Okay.....well, at least you're still moving and getting SOMEthing done! Clearly, all of those things needed to get done....and now many of them are KIND of done." Even writing lists doesn't help, most of the time. I end up feeling like I didn't really think things through, before making the list. "Hmm, maybe I should have put THAT on the top of the list."

By the way..... that video could be ME too!!! LOL OMG.....it is so typically me!

About what age can we expect this to kick in? No really. What age?

Unfortunately, the human mind, like so much of other body parts, was poorly conceived, as the mind can only think of one thing at a time. Thus, note taking/list making is essential!

I rarely have this problem, as I'm madness incarnate when I start something and will madly finish it at whatever cost! I know myself too well, if I stop, it may never get done!
