my attention span is unreliable.

it is also dependant only on MY level of interest in the current happening/ and/or it’s events/participants. how rude. anyway, as a result, many inconvenient things happen to me, which probably serves me right. i could avoid most of them if i took my own advice, but i don’t. here it is anyway:

10 things the attention-span-challenged person should NEVER do:

1. assume you didn't put your keys in the toilet

2. buy anything now that you need later and assume you will remember that you bought it AND where you put it

3. do the cleaning in pants that need washing and put all the little “bits” in your pocket to put away later

4. make "a mental note"

5. check out movies from places which allow multi-night checkout at no extra fee on the premise that you can “watch it tomorrow night"

6. drive a car that does not have things to prevent you from locking yourself out with the headlights on

7. join a book club that automatically sends you a "featured" monthly selection if you don’t post back a card

8. look at the books that you pass by in the library as you are heading to get the one you came in for

9. tell anyone "i'll call you back when i’m done with this call”

10. take a side link in a web page that has nothing to do with what you originally were doing
