Getting sidetracked....

My goal for tonight was to spend a lot of time on MyLot for I haven't been on as much as I would like to. Once again due to lack of motivation or I've been busy doing other things. But tonight I am soooooooo ready to MyLot like crazy.
Except, I keep getting distracted. And very easily I might add.
I've gone from watching some of The Simpsons, laundry, watching cat videos on YouTube, playing with my dog, doing the dishes, looking up celebrity heights ( Prince is the same height as me by the way lol ), taking nail polish off my finger nails, back to watching Simpsons, taking the rubbish out to the bins, dancing....
I keep getting distracted or having the urge to stand up to do other things. I can get quite restless at times where I just can't seem to sit still or do what I've planned to do.
Do you ever get easily distracted or sidetracked?
ok I'm ready to MyLot right NOW......I will make dinner first.......

@velvet53 That's too actually. Well, unless you are needing to do something very important but keep getting distracted.

@velvet53 Oh I know what you mean! I write a small list almost every day. Even if it's a simple thing. Just so I can cross them off and feel good about myself. But yeah things can distract me.

@dodo19 I wonder why it happens. But nice to know I'm not the only one.

@annierose lol no I agree. I have more important things to do. But MyLot is more a hobby I like but sometimes other things pop up that I would like to do.

I don't think we want you to be here "because it's your job"; we want you here because you want to be here ... to express yourself, to share your wins with us, to share your troubles with us, to help us through our troubles and to be happy when we share our wins with you!

@VivaLaDani13 I guess that's something 'good' about being retired---I don't have to "fill" any responsibility, so I can just stop doing 'whatever I'm doing' if I suddenly 'feel like' doing something else!
Maybe 'that urge to be doing something else' is human-nature.

@mythociate Oh I agree with you. I don't feel like I "have to" be here. Just sometimes I can't keep still. Even if I'm doing something I like. Not sure why.

My biggest problem is that, in my effort to multi-task, I'll start too many things at once. Then I'll find myself going back and forth between all of the things I started, and then end up not completing any of them because I keep going back and forth too much!

@VivaLaDani13 It's a bad habit I do at work, and then all of a sudden I find myself up against deadlines with none of my projects completed. Then I have to scramble to get all of them done. But the funny thing is, when I'm under the pressure of meeting a deadline, I then zero in and focus on each project one at a time.

@moffittjc Yeah I am the same. If I have a time limit or deadline like you say, I will do it as quickly as I can to avoid stressing out even more about it.

Sometimes we really don't want to do what we think we want to do.

I am all over the place without needing any distractions. 
Don't even get me started how many times I go to the refrigerator to drink water which then makes for bathroom breaks the same number of times.
