I can get absorbed in something interesting for hours, but I can't make myself sit down to something boring
I lose track of time and am often surprised by how quickly it has passed
I read a text and after a couple of paragraphs realize I haven't taken in a thing
My desk, bag or computer is usually a mess
I often walk into a room and can't remember why
I find it hard to follow a long conversation or lecture — my mind drifts
I forget bill due dates, birthdays or other important dates
I often leave things half-done: half-washed dishes, a half-written email
I usually have loads of tabs and apps open at once
I get bored quickly and am always looking for something new
When I have to wait — in a line or in traffic — I quickly lose patience and can't sit still
I'm always fiddling with something: a pen, my phone, a ring
I find it hard to go to bed on time because my head is full of thoughts and ideas
In conversation I often jump from topic to topic
I find it hard to relax — even in my downtime I look for something to do
I interrupt people or finish their sentences for them
I make impulse purchases that I later regret
I readily take on new things and then don't have time to do them
My emotions flare up quickly: I get irritated easily over little things
Criticism or rejection hurts me more than it seems to hurt others
I drop new hobbies as soon as the novelty wears off
I need a deadline or pressure to finally get started on something
I'm late even when I think I'm leaving on time
I underestimate how long a task will take
I find it hard to start a task, even a simple one that takes five minutes
I forget what I've been told within just a few minutes
I find it hard to break a big task into steps
Without reminders and alarms I'd forget half of what I need to do
People tell me I have my head in the clouds
I've had trouble with attention and organization since childhood
