Hoarder Of Ideas, Plans and Lists

The other day I watched a special that delved into the minds of hoarders. We have all heard the stories of the poor souls who hoard things and some get to the point of no return. They hold onto everything because they feel that the object "still has a life or usefulness". To any onlooker it appears to be a mass mess of disorganized junk but to the hoarder it is so very much more.

I am not a hoarder of junk by no means. I actually get great satisfaction out of going through things, donating items to goodwill, throwing away stuff and shredding documents BUT I have this issues with ideas and plans that are all a big unorganized jumble in my head. They are all very precious to me when I can grab them, hold onto them, recall them, implement them and actually take action to at least try to make them come to pass. I am a cronic list maker but when I sit down to make my lists I quickly lose interest in making my precious list, get interrupted and never finish the list, lose the list, forget what all I wanted to put on the list, etc.

I honestly think either my memory is seriously failing me, I am suffering from a hormonal imbalance or that I may have ADD or ADHD...whichever it it that describes a person like me. Mental clarity for me is sparatic at best. Making an appointment with my doctor is on one of my lists! (Seriously)

I saw a commercial once I don't know...maybe advertising a drug of some sort and it described a symptom of your mind being kind of like someone constantly turning t.v. stations in your brain.....that is exactly how my plans, ideas and mental lists are in my mind. The good thing is if you give it enough time the channels will eventually loop back around and I always hope that it will stick for a little longer the next time around. I am so very easily distracted!!!!

I am so scattered that I can't even remember to replace the toilet paper roll. We keep the extra tissue in our pantry because we do not have a closet in our bathroom and between leaving the bathroom and going to get another one I have 10 thousand thoughts that distract me. That hasn't just happened a time or two...it is EVERY time. It is irritating!!!!
