Do you ever start doing something and forget what it was?

I do this all the time. I go to do something and then next thing you know I have moved onto something else. Then a while later I will say Oh Crap I have to do that still. Then sometimes I will go to do it again and next thing you know I am diverted from it again. It certainly becomes a real pain in the butt.

yes, it happened to me occasionally. When I was heading for the kitchen for something and suddenly forgot why I was there.

I do this pretty often. Usually it happens when I'm doing a lot of things at once and have a lot going on in my mind. When that sort of thing happens, I get all flustered especially if people keep getting me off task. Once that happens, it takes a few seconds for me to get back to doing what I was doing before I got distracted. And, I do hate it. I hate being sidetracked it drives me crazy especially when I'm doing something that I really need to do.

You just described my daily routine! There is no feeling quite like being in the middle of a room wondering what you were doing or even how you got in there! LOL I think we try to get way too many things done. We have so much on our minds that we go into overload mode and the brain says "forget it you freak!" It happens to me all the time. I would tell you more but I forgot it! And by the way.... why am I here responding to this discussion? What was the quesion? Have a great day!

Yes it happens to me all the time! Not so much while I'm online , but with day to day things it does. I walk into a run and forget what I came in there for . Sometimes I go back where I came from to try to remember what I was going to do. It's worse when you run downstairs for something and forget what you went down there for. Then you have to run back upstairs to try to remember what it was you went downstairs for in the first place, and then back down again. .arggh!

This always happens to me. I'll think of something to do. Get distracted by an IM or something and forget what it was. I tend to go upstairs for something and forget once I get up the stairs. It's really rather annoying I find. Usually after a few minutes I remember what I wanted to do or what I needed and get to work on it.
