Attention to details is not my thing, I often make careless mistakes

I can procrastinate often. I put things off until the last minute. Then the hyper-focus kicks in; sometimes I can keep my head above water. Sometimes I sink

I lose focus and find it difficult to pay attention during conversations, or meetings

People frequently ask me if I am listening to them, even when speaking directly to me

I can find it difficult to follow through on assigned tasks. I get side-tracked or lost in more interesting things

It’s difficult to organize tasks and activities, I leave that to others

I often underestimate the time it takes to complete a project or task, leading me to overcommit and overbook myself on a regular basis

I can see the big picture, but don’t always know where to start. I can and often do jump in the middle; working backward and forward simultaneously

I can forget things easily, Oh…, and I have a tendency to lose things like tools, wallets, keys, eyeglasses and my phone… and also my thoughts.

I have a tendency to fidget, tap my foot, or just feel restless

It’s difficult to participate in leisure activities, I can get lost in my thoughts, or find myself wanting to do something I find more interesting

I can be talkative and find myself getting ahead of the conversation, which leads to answering questions before they are fully asked and at times interrupting others.

I have signs and symptoms of both the inattentive and distractible type and the impulsive and hyperactive type
