This is how it goes...
I decide to do work on the car, start to the garage and notice the mail on
the table. OK, I'm going to work on the car...
BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk.
After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trashcan is full.
OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk....
BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out, but since I'm going to be near the
mailbox, I'll address a few bills.... Yes, Now where is the checkbook?
Oops. There's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks? Oh,
there is my empty plastic cup from last night on my desk. I'm going to look
for those checks...
BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. I head for the
kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need a drink of water, I
put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the
kitchen counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away...
BUT FIRST need to water those plants. I head for the door and... Aaaagh!
Someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot. Okay, I'll put the remote
away and water the plants...
BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.
END OF DAY: Oil in car not changed, bills still unpaid, cup still in the
sink, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys, .. And,
when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled
because...
I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize this condition is serious... I'd get
help...
BUT FIRST...I think I'll check my e-mail.
