Create a Launch Pad

So. I realized that I am really ADD. Like really. I can't focus. I forget things. I'm ADD. It's ticking me off how little I am getting done, because I am constantly chasing shinnies. I am at the point that I am so worried about it that I am actually going to the doctor to get diagnosed and checked out for the condition. Hopefully there will be strategies that I can put into place.

So I started checking out a bunch of books about ADD. One book suggested that I start a launch pad. A place where I can put things so I don't forget them on my way out the door.

Here is what my launchpad consists of:
A 2.99  snap case - where I put my wallet and my keys as soon as I walk in the door.
A 4.00 on sale carry case. (It's actually a scrapbook case- see through). I use this to bring things with me in my car, so they are all in one place and I can see through the case to know what I have to do. This way the things keep clean and they don't get lost.
A 6.00 laundry basket- So I can hide it when guests come.
In the basket I put the two cases.

I also add to the basket:
2 pairs of gloves - one running one driving.
a knit hat for running and housework
my water bottle
my lunch bag
some tupperware

So far it is working. It's been a week and I havent lost my keys! So much time gained in the morning!
