If you don’t have days like this – pleassseeee skip the rest of this post series – it’s not for you. Not only will it confuse the living daylights out of you, but you will wonder how such people could even function outside of a padded room.
For the rest of you – “hey guys… this way…” welcome to the:
Confessions of an A.D.D. LO
Part I
Not sure if this is you? Take this simple test to find out if you are an A.D.D. LO.
Have you ever;
- Forgotten if you have put the Splenda in your coffee or not yet – wait this tastes like tea…
- Walked into the Operations Manager’s office… and forgot why you left yours.
- Picked up the phone, dialed, hear ringing – and can’t remember who you are calling.
- Bought a new system to “fix” your business – then realize you already own that system when you got back home.
- Gotten half way through a closing and realized… “this is not my closing.”
Ok, so the last one is a little extreme, but if you said yes to any of the above – especially the last one, then you just might be an A.D.D. LO.
Admitting your affliction is not only a scary step – it is a freeing one as well. Go ahead, say it.
“I am an A.D.D. LO.” – “I am an A.D.D. LO.” – “I am an A.D.D. LO.”
See? Now doesn’t that feel better? [Wait, what was I talking about again?] Oh, right… admitting you get distracted by shiny-objects.
Knowing is half the battle.
Part II will cover the real meat-and-potatoes – potatos[?] – po-tah-tos[?] of how to, not only function as a normal human being, but how to get things done and done well in your day-to-day mortgage practice.

Woah, this is SO me……I have days like this…EVERY day! I need to go finish getting ready for work………but Facebook is still up on the computer, my book is here needing to be read, and there's a really good movie on TV……….
Amen! Me too. The always on, always connected Internet only makes the affliction worse.
I would love to hear people's coping mechanisms and focusing tricks.
keep me posted on Part II. started reading Healing A.D.D. (six types) by Daniel Amen, M.D. — interesting stuff.
As i read this article, it made me realize that I have 11 different things open on my computer, and that's not counting web pages.
Chris – can you write me a prescription for Ritalin?

Chris,
I was able to say yes to multiple items on the test. I think once a day I call someone and then forget who the heck I am calling. On to part 2.
