I've been diagnosed with MADD

I was recently diagnosed with M.A.D.D - Marketing Addiction Distraction Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decided to create a sales page.

As I switched on my computer

I noticed two drinking glasses.

I decided to take the glasses into the kitchen.

The cats meowed for food.

I put the glasses down and fed the cats.

I put the cat food tin in the trash.

Noticing the trash bag was now full

I thought I'd take it out to the wheely bin.

since I was at it, I thought I'd empty the other

waste paper baskets from around the house.

While in my bedroom I noticed my minidisk recorder.

I knew I'd need the minidisk recorder that night

so I picked it up.

The telephone then rang and I answered it.

While I was on the telephone

the doorbell rang.

I put down the minidisk recorder and went to the door.

At the door was someone collecting for charity.

I went to find some change to give them.

While looking for change I found a memory stick

that I'd been looking for.

I remembered the telephone and went back and made

my excuses and hung up.

While sorting through the coins I'd found

I put down the memory stick.

I gave some money to the charity collector.

I then remembered that I was turning on the PC.

When I got to the PC, it was at the Windows desktop.

Microsoft Messenger was open in two windows.

Two friends were asking me questions.

After 15 minutes of typing I closed MSN.

Out of habit I then checked my emails.

One of the emails was for a new product

that I had to buy today or miss-out on.

After 15 minutes of reading the sales page

I had a look around my favourite forums

to see if anyone was recommending this program.

I saw several posts asking questions I had answers to.

30 minutes later I read a positive review of the product.

I went and paid for it by PayPal.

Once it was on my hard disk

I opened the program and played with it

for 45 minutes.

Then the telephone rang.

It was a friend asking how I was.

"great!" I said, I'm busy doing things for

my online business.

"It sounds like you're getting a lot done"

said my friend.

"that's right" I said, "I'm really productive right now".

Then I hung up the telephone and went to bed.

My Sales Page wasn't done.

I can't find my minidisk recorder.

My memory stick is missing.

The trash needs putting out.

The glasses need washing.

I haven't done anything to increase my income in this time.

BEING 'BUSY' IS FINE.

BEING 'PRODUCTIVE' IS BETTER!

REMEMBERING TO CHECK WHICH YOU'RE DOING = PRICELESS!
