Life With Adult ADD: Things (Not) To Do Before Leaving on a Trip

    

Let's see... I need to leave for the airport in three hours, so let's do a checklist of where I'm at in the process of preparation at 2 am:

  • Packed suitcase - mostly - 85% done
  • Packed carry-on - mostly - 75% done
  • Continue to update and check off packing lists...
  • Followed up on last minute emails, updates, etc. Even did my newsletter last night!
  • Updated monthly budget - does this need to be done now? Sure? 97% done (as much as able)
  • Petted the cats relentlessly - mostly done - 80%
  • Done Annual Periodic Expenses - Why? Why now? But, yup - 90% done
  • Started reading a new book on Non-Fiction Publishing Markets - Started- NO! WHY? Stop.
  • Ate a snack. 100% done. (But there is still food in fridge...it will go bad...FAIL!)
  • Painted toes... nope, will take polish on trip.
  • Laundry - done! 
  • Sorted wallet - done!
  • Changed purses - mostly done - 97%?
  • Revisited work-in-progress for editing - NO! Save that for some other time! Don't you want sleep? A nap??? 
  • A bath... when?
  • Breakfast? 
  • COffee? How soon? Now? At 4? Let's start a new book...NO!
  • Should I sleep a tad? Or just stay awake and sleep on the plane, as is my usual routine? How much did I sleep last night? 2 hours?? 
  • 2:06 am - Update blog - done!
