This is the usual drill on a weekend or a day off: I pick a task to start (normally on the laptop of course) like writing or designing something; then I go to make coffee, see that the sink is dirty and I start fixing up the kitchen; with hands wet, I realise that I need a new rag, so I go down the 1st floor, see that there’s a pile of laundry and start doing laundry; I then I remember I need to sort last week’s pile so I do that; mid-way through folding and thinking of my current projects, an idea for an intro pops up; I abandon the clothes and go back to my work-station.

I basically get about 90% of stuff done in the end, but I feel exhausted; or that I feel I should’ve focused the majority of my time on one specific task. I’ve Googled if there is such a thing as adult ADHD and apparently, the symptoms describe someone like Donald Trump 😂:

• Impulsiveness

• Disorganization and problems prioritizing

• Poor time management skills

• Problems focusing on a task

• Trouble multitasking

• Excessive activity or restlessness

• Poor planning

• Low frustration tolerance

• Frequent mood swings

• Problems following through and completing tasks

• Hot temper

• Trouble coping with stress

And guess what, aside from the occasional poor planning moment, I realise I don’t suffer from any of these symptoms at all.
