Except when your horse starts to stray off the path you've told it to go, often you won't even notice until you're already far down that other path. Sort of a "What was I doing again?"

get up to fill glass of water. If I didn't have a glass in hand, I might get to the kitchen and forget why I walked there. Yep. I've actually sat back down and been "aw man, I was going to the bathroom" and somehow did something else instead.

I need to go do the dishes! Oh look the trash is full I will take that out then do the dishes. When I get back in the house I hear the dryer stop so hey gotta get those cloths out. Start that, I gotta pee, Oh now I'm thirsty, oh shit the dishes are still not done. Wait wasn't I going to scoop the cat boxes?

Yes I understand I can make lists and I CAN stay on task but it is really damn hard sometimes. Eventually 3/4 of everything gets done. But it takes me a lot longer than it should.
