Nellie, I use a list in the same way you do…..3,4, maybe 5 things I need to do, buy, etc. ADD people are not the only people who use lists, the 3M POST-IT note business is a multimillion dollar business (check out the notepad section in Staples), as are BlackBerries, electronic, note pads. etc etc. The world is a busy, frantic place, if you drop the ball from time to time or find it difficult to keep up on a daily basis….your the same as most every other person in North America. North Americans work themselves to death, always more more more more….more wealth, bigger home, eat out more, fancier car….more debt……it is no surprise more and more people can’t cope on a daily basis.
Fact is, the pace in N. American is insane (has been for years) and continues to escalate…do more with less……work smarter not harder, all are slogans designed to get more productivity out of people than they possibly can do in a day……week….you get the point. It starts now in pre-school…..it’s no longer ok to learn to read in school…most kids can already read before school, same with math………Jeeze Louise!!!!
People are falling by the wayside, all the time…heart-attacks, cancer, violent break-downs (every week)…..record numbers of people taking stimulants (and increasing) to get through a day…..all disease(s) of the industrial age, so careful about falling victim to the propaganda….none of it is to the common person’s benefit…….in fact it is the converse.
As for Barkely-ism…….your question may well be appropriate…….
