AGE ACTIVATED ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER
Again this mail is sent to me by one of the members of this forum.
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder...
This is how it develops:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox, when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.
I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day:
----the car isn't washed,
----the bills aren't paid,
----there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
----the flowers don't have enough water,
----there is still o nly 1 check in my check book,
----I can't find the remote,
----I can't find my glasses,
----and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
thank u pravinji .
this is very nice to read , indeed some times i too feel and notice nothing is done properly at the day end , it always happens with every one , it is not only related to the age activated defiency problem , it is due to improper planing also . we fail in everything , if we work endless, without taking proper rest and sleep , at many times i face this problem , as u know my age , u can understand my position , i make simple mistakes , i even forget very well known name , some times i could not remeber some faces too ,(but i can say iam able to recollect my childhood events from my 5th year) i put some salt more and or i forget to add salt , i get scoldings , becuase i would not have lived in that present world , simply i would have appeared in person , but my mind might have flown somewhere , this is not acually age related problem , to o much of strain to brain will bring these kinds of differences , over curiousity , improper and inadequate sleep at any age is the reason for the above picture .But i wont deny the aging factor too , if u grow old , your sleep time will get reduced , then the problems cannot be avoided . Lack of interest on one subject will also prove for your absence of mind , u cant remember a particular thing on which u don't show attention , whether a book might be on your table , u fail to notice it , if that book is found not relavant to your subject of interest , that time u will get comments about your remem'bering ability ,which will make u feel sorry for your particular state
It is very very interesting to read , but i already read it , as the same was forwarded to me earlier and me and my husband had discussions on this one day .,, any how thanks for your nice post today

Oh yes, I resemble this story. 
Especially after I went thru menopause. First of all, I lost nouns. They just disappear in conversation.
I also lost my wonderful memory.
It's a hormonal change that affects the brain.
It helps to have stories like this!! Thank you for posting it.
