This is how it goes: I decide to wash the car; I start towards the garage and notice the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to wash the car. But first I'm going to go through the mail. I lay the car keys down on the desk, discard the junk mail and notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk and take the trash can out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox anyway, I'll pay these few bills first.

Now, where is my checkbook? Oops, there's only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk. Oh, there is the coke I was drinking. I'm going to look for those checks. But first I need to put my coke further away from the computer, or maybe I'll pop it into the fridge to keep it cold for a while.

I head towards the kitchen and my flowers catch my eye, They need water. I set the coke on the counter and uh oh! There are my glasses. I have been looking for them all morning! I'd better put them away first. I fill a container with water and head for the flower pots. Hey! Someone left the TV remote in the kitchen. We'll never think to look in the kitchen tonight when we want to watch television so I'd better put it back in the family room where it belongs.

I splash some water into the pots and onto the floor. I throw the remote onto a soft cushion on the sofa and I head back down the hall trying to figure out what It was that I was going to do? End of day: Car isn't washed, bills are unpaid, the coke is still sitting on the kitchen counter, the flowers are half watered, the checkbook still has only one check in it and I can't seem to find my car keys. When I try to figure out how nothing got done today, I'm baffled because I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY LONG!!! I realize this is a serious condition and I need to get help, BUT FIRST I think I'll check my e-mail.
