I have a lot of difficulty getting things started, such as homework, projects, chores and assignments.

While reading, I often lose track of what I have just read and need to re-read paragraphs. I understand the words, but they don't seem to "stick" in my memory.

I become easily frustrated and I am often impatient when waiting for things to happen.

I often procrastinate and put things off until later. (and/or I am often late to appointments or late handing in assignments, projects or tasks)

I am often a perfectionist, wanting things to be "just right". I will sometimes re-do parts of assignments or tasks in order to make them perfect.

Background noises or activity will easily distract me from my tasks. I often want to "check out" what else is going on around me.

I frequently forget, misplace, or lose things I require to do my work (keys, cellphone, lists, notebooks, assignments, glasses, wallet, etc.)

I often shift from one activity or project to another. I think of other things that need to be done or I just think of other ideas as I am doing the task in front of me.

I have several unfinished projects going on at the same time. I often fail to finish my assignments, projects or tasks. (and/or other people often say that I do not finish what I start.

I often have difficulty planning more complex projects or assignments. It takes me longer than usual to plan out activities, projects, assignments, or tasks.
