Today’s blog at Eat at Joe’s has a useful observation for grownups with attention deficit disorder. From Joe’s notes on a Thanksgiving Day production schedule:

“One thing that’s not explicitly on my schedule is personal time: when do I eat, or take a shower, or whatever. It’s foolish not to allow for time when you know you need it. I’m hoping to shower either while the ham is in, or after everything is done. Most things are going to wind up going over cold and needing reheating anyway. I also built in time to run the dishwasher when I was cooking the ham. I should have run the dishwasher last night, but we’re having a drought locally, and I’m trying not to run it until it’s absolutely full. I also forgot about a social engagement last night, and didn’t do as much prep as I otherwise would have. I may pay for that later. But we’re supposed to be starting at 5:30 or so, with dinner actually going on the table around 7, so hopefully I’ve left enough time. I also fed myself and the dogs well when I got up at about 9:30, and worked through my morning routine of e-mail and blog-checking. But I’ve probably, as usual, slacked off too much”
