Trying to describe my planning difficulties -make any sense?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello;

I have been trying (with mixed success) to describe to friends why I am finding some routine tasks so difficult.

The best description I can give them so far is like this:-

- imagine a 3 lane motorway, where there are roadworks. Because of the work, 2 lanes are closed. All the traffic has to go through the single lane that is still open. My attention is like the single lane, the things I have to do are the cars in the traffic.

- if all the drivers patienly "merge in turn", and wait for each other to go into the single lane, then the traffic flows smoothly through the bottleneck, without much stress

- if any drivers try to compete, and get through ahead of others, then the bottleneck gets clogged, and there are occasional collisions. Then there is a long delay while everything is sorted out. This is what happens to my thoughts if people try to hurry me.

Ands this is why I am always trying to slow things down, in spite of being "motivated" and "intelligent".

Does this make sense to anyone?

regards,

Yes.

It's just like that.

Very well done Timpani.

That makes perfect sense.
