Had to link it, it is way too long to post here…

my looming ADD diagnosis...

Part I:  The paper mystic finds giving up printed material impossible, because every word and every page holds potential meaning in their life. If they should lose or throw out a certain article or reference, they might never get it back again. The very thought of throwing out those stacks of unread material, which might contain the answer to the whereabouts of the holy grail or the definitive answer to losing those extra twenty pounds, is tantamount to sacrilege and unbearable for them to think about.

 

Part II:  The procrastinator is someone who avoids the task of de-cluttering or who appears to avoid it. They share characteristics with any of the previous categories. Procrastinators are not always lazy. They may never have learned from a role model how to be organized in the first place and have no idea where to begin And they might certainly be someone with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or a Learning Disability (LD). Figuring out where to begin, let alone understanding the steps needed to get a job done and complete it without getting distracted, or bored, can be truly challenging. Add to this their fear of "out of sight - out of mind" and there is a real potential for getting stuck with too much stuff.

 

My next task is figuring out which one I am closer to. For more information, I will be in and out of this site: http://www.add.org/index.html . Maybe it will help me get my problems in order before the quacks put ideas in my head later this month.

the only one left...

As Hurricane Katrina blew through New Orleans, The Big 870 WWL A.M. stayed on the air. Their website has also managed to stay online. Listen to them online:  

1-877-LOVED-1S

From my home in Germany, I can’t do much else besides online activism and donating money and/or blood. I can only hope that this number is being passed around the world to help even one person in a remote location locate their loved ones.
