“Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder”—love this low-budget video. It’s a joke, but yet a real thing we all experience. The funniest thing to me is how coming in or leaving a room triggers all sorts of tangential things. <I’ve seen that one of my plants needs water, gone to fill up a pitcher of water at the sink, and then put the pitcher away in the fridge. Then walked out into the living room, seen the droopy plant, and remembered THAT’s why I had a pitcher of water in my hand. Returned to the fridge to get the water and ended up grabbing something to eat instead. All while thinking about what’s on TV tonight. Crazy!>

I’ve started putting cubes of PostIts everywhere so I can jot down prompts for myself. Otherwise my initial thought just gets lost in what I call “the mists of memory.”

Someone needs to do a sequel to this video called “Age activated attention disorder and the Internet.” I’d have a lot to say about my abuse of homophones while writing quick emails.
