It's 2010 and i need to get back to work

I never say this in jest because I know so many of my sons have friends diagnosed with "ADD". And I realize the challenges this imposes on learning, and I would be self diagnosing to say that I too have this challenge or opportunity. I was a good student, but it was always complicated but my inability to stay focused. In the middle of math class, I would be writing a play in my head or in chemistry class, I would be choreographing my next dance move. Sure you are saying this sounds like a creative person in the making. Well I would agree to a certain extent, but on black and white report cards it is hard to translate. I faced this challenge in university and the work place, but I always managed to find a way to make it work. So there is hope out there for those who find themselves struggling to stay focused. ENTREPRENEURSHIP! Yes, I have taken my inability to stay in way place and reclassified it as multi-tasking. I have surrounded myself with list makers and anal, I mean organized individuals. I am a doer, an idea gal, funny, big picture kinda operator and when on the right path can make some decent headway. Today I got up, wrestled with my new do, sent the kids off, walked my dog and returned to my office. WOW, I got so much down, no rhyme or reason to the order, a few walks around my desk, a couple of minutes in front of the television, a few songs were sung, but I got stuff down. You know, it's not the journey, it's the destination. I am back to work today. Tomorrow is another day, I will wrestle with that tomorrow. What is your self diagnosis?
