A is for Absentmindedness
What is
Absentmindedness? It is not easy to explain and not too difficult I hope.
Absentmindedness is the ability to forget something simple that
you should know or remember to do, work or other related things. As work is
what I do mostly as a VA it is where I forget simple things to do.
Ah! Another
day starts what am I going to forget today, with absentmindedness always around
you never know what is next. Will I forget my favourite hard space or is it
something new, never a dull moment. This phenomenon (Absentmindedness) can
strike at any time morning, afternoon or night, it is not picky. Just when you
think you have everything under control, it strikes. How to spell this word, do
this graph, I just did this type of graph last week. It just doesn’t want to
print today; I forgot to put the printer on. I need to fax this page but forgot
to plug the fax line in. Simple but absentmindedness creates chaos.
An example
for a specific client I need to use a hard space and keep on forgetting how to
do it. Easy it is, easy to forget. Especially when you are busy and under
pressure. I know it is control shift spacebar, but not at
the time.
That small
thing called absentmindedness creates this panic to get onto the Internet and
ask a VA friend to assist, make me look silly at times, but part of work, maybe
it is part of Alzheimer’s or not, who knows.
Solution,
make a note and save it for your absentminded moments.
