Well...
Here's the report of what I did during the two hours that I was going to work on my "TO DO LIST".
Ready?
Started with 308 items on "TO DO".
Immediately deleted 4 of them (time had run out and they didn't even apply anymore) - YEA!
Got to the fifth item - BOOK CHICAGO TRIP - ACO Conference.
Did I just acknowledge it and move on????
OH NO!!!!
I had to actually book the trip.
Hotwire / Orbitz - picking flights - picking rental car....
OK - that took over 40 minutes.
Then - I wanted to book the actual conference as well.
Could I just do that???
Oh no...
I had to start screwing around with deciding if I want to become a member - and pay the member rate
or be a guest and pay the guest rate. Then I have to get the documentation together to prove that
I've had the necessary training to become a member....
So - Now I've gone down TWO BUNNY HOLES...
Booking the trip and signing up for the conference.
Did I get back to the "TO DO LIST" then???
Oh no...
The phone rang - old friend... chatted for 25 minutes.
Made an appointment with her to do a consultation at my church.
THEN...
I had to email everyone (because I tried to call them and couldn't reach them) to let them know that she's coming.
Back to the "TO DO LIST" yet????
Oh no....
Now I decide is a good time to chat with my Social Networking Specialist about this blog.
Call her.
We chat.
We decide some things that I have to do...
Now...
I'M HUNGRY!!!!
Go make toast and check on the fire in the insert...
WOW.. That fire looks great!!!!!
I need a picture of that....
Out comes the camera as I snap photos of the wonderful fire in the insert.
Tell me folks...
Does this SCREAM ADD or what???????
Before I forget that all this happened...
I decide to write this blog....
BACK TO THE "TO DO LIST"!!!!!!!!

9:18:27 AM | I vote, delete button for most. LOL
and don't kid yourself...we all work a little like this, ADD or not. I've bounced into a few bunny holes, all in one day, myself. Although I must admit, then I'm like Maria and just dig in and get it done no matter how tired I am. And if it matters....I think you do just fine with your work load and schedule. Most of your days are packed with client work, so give yourself a break, will ya? | Jerry

7:28:36 AM | But that's the point. My days are really packed with client work AND I have to find an efficient way to get all the rest of it done without just ignoring it.
I WILL find a way to get this done..... |
