   OK - I just realized a little about where you are going with this...
   
   I need to tell you - you're not alone - you're not nuts - and you CAN grab that MUSKIE.
   
   You just have to train yourself to do SOME things properly.
   
   ONCE YOU --- YOU ---- decide what you want - you have to organize yourself towards that.
   
   You want to sell your house?
   
   Sit down and list out all your brainstorming ideas about what you need to do to sell your house.
   
   Make a checklist
   
   Do those things - and check them off.
   
   You're not nuts.
   
   You ARE MORE...
   
   You have more abilities than anyone else - that makes everyone ELSE LESS.
   
   Once upon a time someone told me that I was one of the few people in the world that they knew that could grasp ALL sides of the story - and make it understandable.
   
   He also said I was the only person in the world that they knew who could alternately HYPERFOCUS on something for HOURS - and at the same time multitask better than anyone else.
   
   STOP believing you are less - and just learn discipline for your talent.
   
   YOU ARE TALENTED.
   
   But you have to MAKE YOURSELF believe it.
   
   And with ADHD - the only way you will believe things is if you see results - you have to MAKE yourself give yourself those results.
   
   So you have to plan - you have to check off things on a list - YOU just need to treat yourself as you would treat someone who had a BAD memory.
   
   Take the time to reflect on it - these words... And then decide what it is you want.
   
   Go grab your muskie - but plan out how you would do it in a step by step process first - and follow those plans.
   
   You'll be very surprised.
   
   Even if you don't complete your list EVERY time - You will start to understand how that list is important in keeping you organized.
   
   Learn Organization tricks...
   
   For example - I have a box for bills
   I have a box for important papers for the house
   Box for coupons
   Box for taxes
   
   And I make myself clean those boxes out that need to be cleaned out Monthly or weekly.
   
   I set up schedules.
   
   For example at 10 pm at night - I make myself get up and do dishes - if there are any in the sink.
   
   That gives me permission to leave them there - or get them done before hand - but at 10 pm I get them done.
   
   And so on and so on.
   
   You'd be surprised how this really works.
   
   You only need to believe in YOU.
   
   YOU ARE SPECIAL - and in a GOOD WAY!
   
   
   Your blog was a fun read - and you're not a monkey brain.
   
   LOL!

      YAY!!!! Your post makes me so happy! Thank you, thank you. So very what I needed. You have no idea. I will read it and reread it and reread it. In fact, I am copying it now and emailing it to myself so I cannot lose track of it. You are wonderful to take the time to write me all this stuff.
