DH makes fun of me all the time and he's right. I was just working in the yard and I jumped to 3 different areas of the gardens without finishing the one before. I tell him that's what creative people do.  Ann |

That's how I clean my house. Pick up something in one room, put it away in another room but something in there needs done. stop to do it. pick up something to put away in another room . . . lather, rinse, repeat.

Have you been spying on me? I am so bad to jump from one thing to another. The only things that helps is to either play some good music so I will stay in one room or have someone working with me to help keep me focused.

In general, women are multi taskers, partly by necessity but I also think we are wired differently.

Yes, I am a crazy multitasker and it gives me great anxiety knowing that I have so many things underway that are not accomplished, but I work most efficiently that way. It's a blessing and a curse.

Yeah, I'm really bad about that in my personal life. Oddly I'm not like that at work, where I'm really good at prioritizing and time management.

I also easily stay on task in work environment. Home not so much. ADD here. Heck, I can just plan a project and not even start before I move onto next.

Oh, yes bounce, bounce bounce. I seem to have the attention span of a gnat.

Sounds familiar  So often I start something or other....while I am doing that I spot something else and get sidetracked which leads to remembering I never finished....something else. Get to the end of the day and there a list of chores I need to finish tomorrow :/ |

I am a jumper too and I think that is why my house always looks a little messy. I don't finish one project before I move to the next.

Yup, I'm a multi tasker, I usually get it done even if it's 5 things at once, DH says he goes back to work to relax cause I wear him out! LOL!

Yes but it frustrates me and I still do it. The problem with me jumping from thing to thing is nothing ever gets done. I'll put away stuff from one room, then jump to another, meanwhile the first room still needs work.

I do this but have found that making lists and verbally telling myself current task repeatedly helps. Yep, everyone laughs because I talk to myself. . Whatever, if it keeps me on track I am okay with it. |

I jump around a lot but I am also efficient and can usually work circles around other people. I can accomplish a lot in a short amount of time.

Yes!!! I use to think I developed a form of adult ADD because I can't just focus on one thing. I never ever use to be like this! Glad to know others are like this!
