I do not know what has happened to me lately but it seems like I cannot concentrate on multiple things at once, like I used to be able to. At work I used to be able to juggle multiple projects at the same time. Now it seems I have to finish what I am working on before starting a new project. I even have had to start making lists. I remember vividly when I turned 30 and one of my female coworkers told me that my mind would slowly start to go and I would be making lists by the time I am 35. I thought this impossible because I really was a stellar self organizer… I now am 34 and she was so right! Hello my name is Stephanie, and I make lists.
It was pretty bad yesterday as I was doing a pretty intricate project. I had to close my door and ended up working 13 hours just to get done. Now it is Saturday and I am sitting at my desk yet again and just finished my work for the week. I just opened a web browser to download a billing statement and saw a story that looked interesting. After reading the story I had to stop and think “Now why did I open the internet?”Oy, I tell you what, it is a whole new ballgame now!
Do you ever get distracted by shiny objects? I guess I do, but they come in forms of paper, phone calls, and conversations as well. I tell you what, I usually do not feel old and would submit that 34 is still really young, but some days … some days I … what was I talking about? Oh right, the warm weather. How nice has it been here in Utah lately? I even opened the sun roof of my car today. Do you remember the Gumby cartoons? Gumby and Pokey were funny looking. Hand sanitizer is awesome stuff, but I bet the pump head on top of ours here at work is pretty germy. Milk is good. Told you…

Wow, I'm in trouble. My mind has already started to go, and I haven't hit 30 yet! What will the rest of this year have in store for me? More lists to remember the lists? Why did I walk into this room? Oh, pretty butterfly! Spongebob is really kind of funny, even though I used to hate it. I want a handmade handbag. Red, or maybe pink. I need new red boots, too . . .

The more I think I can multitask, the more mistakes I make. I have come to acknowledge that I am in fact a mono-tasker and lists are like my dearest friend.
