Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

I read a book recently about the differences between men and women and the author described women as computers with lots of pop-up windows. Apparently we know we have a gazillion things that we need to do and instead of focusing on one we tend to all of them....does that help?
You're not ADD. I'm ADD and what I do, is decide I'm going to mail something, leave the mail on the counter, then forget the coffee cup in the family room, and leave my shoes in the living room. ADDers don't make the room a better place as they travel, that's the difference. And I'm a neat freak, so it takes hard work to keep me central. I use that system where i just clean one place and don't move until I'm done with that counter, so I have boxes to go to the right place.
Not sure it's a guy/girl thing. While writing, I find myself doing some of the same things Denise described as well as researching on line for the Art History test I'm about to give, posting the latest about our film project, and realizing that I somehow jumped from editing my book to wrtiting a song for my musical...I never used to be thaat way either...
Suzanne,pop up windows is a perfect description! It just doesn't sound like a very efficient way to handle life. LOL
K, you're right. I do leave the room a better place, I just get off track from what I'm supposed to be doing.
You're not alone!
I'm supposed to be grading papers right now, but in the last 15 minutes I've answered the phone, checked my blog, checked your blog, wiped the kitchen counters, and made myself some coffee. I left the paper grading to answer the phone and look what happened in the intervening time!
Personally, I think it has to do with a hectic, too-much-to-do life.
Ok...now I'm going to go back to paper grading (until the next interruption). No wonder I have an overwhelming stack of ungraded papers looking at me!
You are not ADD! If you are then I am the same way. I try to not move from a place if I know I am not finished with a task because I know I will get distracted and that tends to work....sometimes..haha!
We're supposed to leave the room a better place? ;)

Maybe you could try what we often try with kids...little rewards! If you work for a certain block of time without getting distracted, you get a piece of chocolate or some wonderful Starbucks. Starbucks is enough motivation to get me to do about ANYTHING!
Di can't write at home for that very reason. I just block out what else needs done. LOL I figure it wouldn't get done if I were working at a job so it's not going to get done until I'm done writing.
My pastor's wife, who is also a good friend, calls this the grasshopper syndrome because we hop from one activity to the next. Hormones can affect your memory too. :-)
