laa dee laa

It’s hard out here for a pimp.  especially if you have ADD like me.  and also, not a pimp.

you set out to complete a task, but along the way, every minor thing distracts you, tempting you to divert from the set path.  and you try to resist.  but your brain doesn’t listen.  it wants to surf the web, read a book, start a new task.  sometimes you win the battle, sometimes your brain does.  

but when you have oh, let’s see, 50 things constantly swimming in your head at every single waking moment (and sometimes even when you’re asleep), your ADD wins the battle pretty much every single time.

it goes like this.

ok.  this needs to be done.  let’s do it.  step 1, done.  step 2, um, shit, i gotta do that too.  let’s see.  hmm, then that pops up in your head, and your mind wanders for a bit.  crap, i still gotta finish this and start that.  and so it goes on and on and on.

half a day later, your list is still full, everything’s incomplete, still on your plate, and you feel like you’ve accomplished nothing, which is kinda true, i suppose.

so you sit there, ignore everything, and start blogging.
