…need something from another part of the house, so you go over there, and then you see something else you need or that needs doing, and you get or do that, and then you return to the part of the house where you were originally and resume what you were doing, at which point it generally becomes immediately apparent that you didn’t do the thing you needed to do that prompted the trip to the other part of the house in the first place?
Or when you see something in the grocery store that you didn’t remember you needed until that moment, so you grab it, and the act of doing so magically and unconsciously erases a different item from your mental list, so you get home without it?
Or when you’re cleaning, painting, or otherwise restoring something, and you get to 95+% or so, and you look over it admiring your work, and you spot one more little area that needs help, and when you jump back in to address that one little area you somehow drop the whole project back to 65% or so, and patient recovery effort brings it all back to 90% but that’s all that’s possible, and you think “next time I’ll remember that I need to stop before I mess it up”? And you never do?
I hope someone is working on cures for these things.
Have a good weekend.
