I recently read a post on Pinterest that truly describes what a day was like for me before my diagnosis and I worked to improve my behavior: I decide to water my flower boxes.

As I turn on the hose, I peer over at my car and decide to wash it.

I get the car keys from the house and notice unopened mail on the table.

I decide to read the mail before washing the car.

I put the car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the recycling bin under the sink and noticed that it was full.

I decide to empty the trash but think, “Why not pay the bills that came in the mail and put them in the mailbox when I take out the rubbish?”

I get my checkbook but it’s out of checks. I go upstairs to get extra checks and see dirty dishes on my desk. I bring them downstairs and put them in the dishwasher.

On the counter above the dishwasher, I see the reading glasses I searched for yesterday.

I decide to put my glasses near the computer so I will know where they are when I need them.

Back at my desk, I notice the extra checks which remind me to pay the bills. I bring the extra checks downstairs and see the TV remote peeking out from the newspapers on the kitchen table. I know I will want it later when watching TV so I carry the remote into the family room.

And on and on. My day goes quickly.
