Re: Why don't we open envelopes?

Oh, yes. This is one of my problems. I am embarrassed to say some of the things that I have missed because of this. Not to say all of the mail that I have lost because of this. I have heard that ADHD has to do with less blood flow to the front part of the brain. This is the area of executive functions or organization. Dr. Daniel Amen likened this to wanting to press the gas peddle of a car to make it go faster and the car actually goes slower the harder you press. I am guessing that opening mail means to make decisions and process how important it is. This is hard so we avoid. What I do is I scan the mail to see if I recognize the sender to determine if I should open or not.
