> This is how it manifests:
>
> I decide to water my garden.
>
> As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over
> at my car and decide my car needs washing.
>
> As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is
> mail on the porch table that I brought up from the
> mailbox earlier.
>
> 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 can under the table, and notice
> that the can 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 checkbook off the table, and see that
> there is only one check left.
>
> My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go
> inside the house to my desk where I find the can of
> Coke that I had been drinking.
>
> I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to
> push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally
> knock it over. I realize the Coke is getting warm,
> and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to
> keep it cold.
>
> As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase
> of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need
> to be watered.
>
> I set the Coke 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 realize 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 pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit 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 driveway is flooded
> the car isn't washed,
> the bills aren't paid,
> there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter,
> there is still only one check in my check 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 realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to
> get some help for it, but first I'll check my
> e-mail.
>
> Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to
> everyone you know, because I don't remember who I
> have sent it to.
