Survey - Attention Grabbing Headlines

Tomorrow is June 30^th, the last day of June. We will also be half way through 2010 (already …)

In my post tomorrow, I am going to publish the results of the 2010 Mid Life Survey, a slightly light-hearted survey which has been running for the last 2 months. If you haven’t completed it yet, could you please take 1 minute to answer the seven questions.

June 30^th also marks the end of the blog30 challenge. Can I firstly congratulate all those who managed to post 30 articles on their blogs during June – a great effort!

Secondly and more importantly, I’d like to thank those of you who retweeted my articles and who left comments on my blog. It was very good of you to take the time and I hope that some of you will continue to follow my (less frequent) postings in the coming months.

Well done, too to Jeanette, who kept up with everything so well.

During the month, I read several articles about writing good headlines. For interest, my most popular blog post (by a long way) was the one with the title ‘The Art of Making Money’ – that must tell us something!

Please come back tomorrow to read the survey results.

Best wishes

Rob

Do you recognise yourself??? :)

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it happens:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage the postman arrives and hands me some letters.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table and notice that the bin is full.
So, I decide to put the letters back on the table and take out the rubbish first.
But then I notice that one of the letters is a final reminder to pay a bill.
I take my cheque book off the table and see that there is only one cheque left.
My new chequebook is in my desk in the office so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my chequebook, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm, so I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold.
As I walk towards the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers catches my eye - they need to be watered.
I put the Coke on the side and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.
I decide that I had better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the side, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the lounge where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I walk down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

the car isn't washed

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of Coke sitting in the kitchen

the flowers don't have enough water,

there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,

I can't find the TV remote,

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

The 2010 'Mid Life Outlook on Life' Survey

The Mid Life Opportunity is a web community for people in mid life (a state of mind more than a physical age). Many Mid Lifers are very happy with their lives, others are not so fortunate. In order to understand this better, the 2010 Mid Life survey will run throughout the year. Results will be posted on the website: http://www.midlifeop.com/
We would greatly appreciate if you would take 1 minute of your time to complete the survey (or a bit longer if you want to add comments). We would also be very grateful if you would send this on to friends and relatives.  Many thanks.
