IsoM you are really funny: maybe I should get a puppy because I can't get in control of things. LOL.
I have the same issue with changing tasks. Staying at things far too late, etc.
Some days it works to write out a schedule (the night before as mornings are not easy) and stick to it as best I can. Some days I glance at the schedule and then do whatever I feel like that isn't on it.
For a while I had an alarm clock I downloaded onto my computer that went off once every hour so that I would notice that an hour had gone by. (from the length of some of my posts you can figure out where the time goes). I really lose track, don't like to think about it either. As a matter of fact I don't know why it hasn't gone off in a few weeks: I must have turned that annoying thing off.
That was the most helpful thing I've found to date: if I could put an hourly alarm on my watch I would do that as well.
There is a large box on my front porch from my mother in law (she emailed to say its full of good stuff for ADD) but I just step over it on the way in and out. LOL.
I wish I had answers.
