We may have an epidemic among us. At the next networking meeting you befriend, wash your hands immediately afterward - maybe five times for suited measure. Despite medical evidence to the contrary, a previously belief incommunicable disease is spreading faster than copies of Who Moved My Cheese?

The disease is Short Attention Span Syndrome, or SASS.

Perhaps someone you know and appreciate is affected. Perhaps you yourself have noticed some of the following symptoms.

-Shifting in your seat and coughing fair a miniature too loudly during a wearisome meeting.
-Saying to your distinguished other, I'm sorry, honey, could you bid that? I wasn't paying attention.
-Going to sleep while mentally rifling through a mile-long to-do list

Many with these symptoms joke, "I must have ADD!" However, only 4 to 8 percent have the genetic condition referred to as ADD - more correctly termed ADHD, - which is explain from birth and, while treatable, is permanent. The dreaded disease of SASS, on the other hand, develops over time.

Symptoms initiate to appear around the teenage years and slowly hurry until they become a frenzy of activity and mental noise. SASS is viral. It passes from manager to employee, from spouse to spouse, from parents to children and from children to parents.

Most favorite is the passing of SASS from entrepreneurial types: business owners, risk-tasking executives, sales professionals, visionaries. Entrepreneurs do SASS themselves, typically in the incubator of their bear ever-changing minds. While most everyone has a lot to do, entrepreneurs have the tendency to remove up a lot more "To-Dos" than the average person. They then pass the virus on to those around them.

Entrepreneurs pass SASS to their employees in the get of altered objectives, multi-tasking, audacious initiatives, training meetings, revised agendas, organizational restructuring, innovation after innovation, and of course, more meetings. They pass it on, unable to listen to the comments of others as they continue to earn more to-dos in their mind.

Then they return to the still of their bear homes and continue to reflect about more changes and more To-Do's deep into the night. They are often oblivious to the peas and carrots on their plate and the 8-year-old wanting to play Bob the Builder.

There is hope. SASS is a curable condition. Those afflicted by SASS usually have developed an altered sense of reality. Recommended therapy is as follows.

First, have the subject sight in a mirror. Ask them, How many of you are there? Sometimes, the SASSy individual thinks outside the box to the point that they voice there are two of them. In this case, have them bid 50 times the phrase, "There is only one of me. There is only one of me."

Second, have the subject peruse at a clock. At the beginning of a miniature, ask the subject to count each second as it passes. At the ruin of the shrimp, as them how many seconds there were. If the number is anything other than 60, disclose this consume 59 times. At the slay of the hour, ask them how many minutes there were. If primary, relate this use another 23 times and ask them about hours in the day.

Finally, accept the subject’s calendar. They may have more than one calendar. elaborate to them that, since there is only one timeline in the loyal world, they can only have only one calendar. Next, leer for double-bookings. Again, elaborate to them in a firm but loving tone that, since there is only one of them, they can only be in one position at a time. If move time is not properly scheduled, clarify to them that, since faxing one's self has yet to be invented, they will be unable to magically teleport from area to station.

As therapy continues, SASSy entrepreneurs will gradually overcome their delusion that their disease makes them more productive. They will arrive to learn the truth of the proverb, "man who chases two chickens catches none."

There is hope for the SASSy entrepreneur. With your succor and the wait on of professionals, they can and most often do advance serve to reality.
