ADHD
I think I have a problem. I cannot single-task! It’s impossible. No matter how I try, I end up pausing something I’m watching on TV to go to my laptop and do a Google search. All while I write “pen to paper” for my blog, check emails on my iPad and text!
And it’s now 8pm and I’m yet to make dinner.
Guess the muffin’s I planned to make can wait.
Next!
Oh! Wait! Forgot the most important thing I was doing. It was Jamima’s bed! And she went from sleeping beauty to attack cat! And I have the scars to prove it.

Remember this about single-tasking
#1 – Nobody’s brain can truly multi-task — we “time-slice” in micro-units, effectively “jugging.”
#2 – for ADD/EFDers, we must take the time to locate the razor’s edge between being stimulated enough to remain engaged but not overwhelmed. Depending on the day and the tasks combined, it’s always a moving target.
There’s a good reason why jugglers begin with three balls. Repeatedly tossing and catching a single ball is no fun at all!

You are most welcome – others might say, “try and stop her!” 🙂
But you have to explain something to me now – this “finishing” word.

Naughty Jamima! Hope you’ve got some antiseptic creme. It’s harder for me to concentrate due to my sensitivity being dialed high.

Oh…this is definitely not just a “helen thing” I promise you! I do the same thing except I don’t even bother to pause my TV so I never understand what I’m watching… 😉
