Caveman Brain or Thank You Jimmy Fallon Thank You Notes

I have heard it said that if you want something done it is best to delegate it to a busy person (if you can't do is yourself, of course). As a severely ADD person, this is an especially true bit of wisdom for me.

When I have a lot on my plate, I feel like I can get anything done.  However, when there is nothing much going on, don't expect me to be able to self-activate.

For over a week now we have been visiting my wife's family in Ohio.  A majority of this time has been down time (though I re-painted a barn, and rebuilt a barn door in the first couple of days).  I could have used this time to finish several blog posts I have started, or think of something new to write.  Today I had a block of several hours to myself while they all went to church. Instead of being creative, or useful in some way, I have remained in my PJs watching 20 straight segments of Thank You Notes on Youtube.

I should have this published before they get back, so all is not lost.  Now I will go eat the egg I fried half an hour ago.

PS There is a hypothesis that ADD is the pre-agricultural norm.  Unless something really has to be done, we like to preserve calories and go to mental hibernation. Producing dopamine all the time must be exhausting, but it gets the garden weeded in August.
