It's not the stuff behind or underneath that is causing the problem in my house - the mess is all out in the open.

I can identify!!!!

It might be ADD....

I used to wonder what the heck was wrong with me!
I was in my 30's when I was finally diagnosed, I am doing a little better now that I know I have it (and yes, fwiw I am on meds), but still there still are so many challenges!
Procrastination is one of the worst- I even put off stuff I want to do! Why?!?
My biggest obstacle is impulsivity- my motto seems to be "why think things through when I can just leap in?"

And when I hyperfocus, look out- I can stay up all night researching something on the 'net, or end up cleaning my whole kitchen with a toothbrush...
sigh...

This is a pretty good essay on structured procrastination, though.
