Is the current world rewarding ADHD? (Attention Deficit - Hyper Activity Disorder) We are encouraged to be multitaskers, keeping track of everything at once everywhere we go. In fact, one of the latest trailers... Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" is a perfect illustration. We don't say "no" often enough, and saying "yes" to everything will destroy you (in more sense than one). Yet the society seems to insist that you take on as many roles as possible. Your buddies want you to go to the bar and have a few pints. Your children wants you home to read them bedtime stories. Your wife wants you home to help her with house chores. You have projects at work you need to finish. And you have stuff to shop for this and that persons in your life... and so on.
So what do you REALLY hold dear in your heart? If you don't know, you'll either pile on so much responsibility that you collapse (if you are the kind of people that can't say no), or you'll let one or the other (and maybe several) slide until you can't meet them all.
That's why I recommend Stephen Covey's book "First Things First". It's more than just a book about how to organize your time... It's about organizing your LIFE.
