Do you have the symptoms of AAADD ? (Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder).
This is how it manifests:
I decide to wash my car.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. 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 bin under the table, and notice that it 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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only one cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where
I find the coffee that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the coffee aside so that I don't
accidentally knock it over.
I see that the coffee is getting cold, and I decide I should put it in the kitchen.
As I head toward the kitchen a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered.
I set the coffee 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 realise 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 splash some water on the flowers, but most 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 cold cup of coffee sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered,
there is still only one cheque in my cheque 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 realise this is a serious problem, and I'll pop in to see my doctor in the morning. But before I go, I'd better wash the car.

I´m only 32 and still I can relate... ;D This is exactly how some of my days go by.
dot-matrix:
The university lecturer was speaking to an audience of townspeople. He was attempting to prove that there was a connection between happiness and the amount of sex in people's lives.
To help prove his point, he asked those in the audience who indulged
every night to raise their hands. Only 5% did so, laughing merrily.
He then asked how many indulged once a week, and 70% raised their
hands smiling contentedly as they did so.
Then the people who indulged once a month were asked to raise their hands, but it was noticeable they neither laughed or smiled.
The lecturer thought that this proved his point, but to prove how obvious
this matter was, he asked those who indulged once every year to raise
their hands. A tall man at the back of the hall leapt from his chair, waving his hand and laughing loudly.
The lecturer was astonished at this apparent contradiction to his lecture,
and he asked the man why he was so happy.
The man replied, "Certainly. It's tonight ! It's tonight !"
