Focus, Focus
Author: ChinI need to get my ass organized. Well, okay, maybe not really my ass because that defies organization. What I mean is, I need to stop running after every new idea that enters my brain because it leaves me leaving tasks hanging. I also need to stop thinking I need to do something new, like learning to play piano, stand on my head, or do handsprings, because I don’t. I have enough activities to keep me occupied for the next 10 years.
I was sorting photos yesterday when I saw a pair of sunglasses I haven’t worn in weeks. After trying it on – and liking it because it’s so huge it makes me feel I’ve a small gazebo around my head – I got to work sorting eyewear instead. See what I mean about needing to organize and focus? I saw the pile of unarranged photos today and feel guilty.
I often think maybe I’d be more normal, orderly, and motherly (in a cookie-cutter way) if I have a pet or a garden. Instead, I have a laptop, and it seems to need me almost as often. But don’t you worry, people I live with! I’m working on achieving serenity and balance, but for now, I’m just working on my cooking.
Wouldn’t do at all to specialize in nothing but scrambled eggs.
Nope, wouldn’t do at all.
Hi! My name is Chin, and this is where, to quote Jane Austen, I "run mad and as often as I choose."

What gave you the idea it isn’t?
Charlie was immunized last week, and she’s scheduled for another one on the 11th. Now that she’s no longer constantly sick because of teething, she’s getting her shots without a hitch.

I have the VERY SAME problem. It’s as if every new idea is more brilliant than the previous one that I have to take action ASAP. Then I look back and see the mess I’ve left behind as a result of my adult ADHD (is what I call it). I can’t seem to focus long enough to get ONE single task done. By the end of the day, all I’m left with is a very long MENTAL to-do list and a very messy house, schedule & LIFE. pffft.
