A true pumphead:
Diagnosis: AAADD - Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
This is how it goes:
I decide to work on the car, start to the garage and notice the mail on the table. OK, I'm going to work on the car...
BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk....
BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills.... Now where's the checkbook? Oops.. there's only one check left. Where'd I put the extra checks? Oh, there's my empty cup from last night on my desk. I'm going to look for those checks...
BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need water, put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away...
BUT FIRST I need to water those plants. I head for the door and... Aaaagh! someone left the TV remote on the wrong spot. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants...
BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.
END OF DAY: Oil in car not changed, bills unpaid, cup still in the sink, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys, .. And, when I try to figure out how come nothing got done today, I'm baffled because... I WAS BUSY ALL DAY!
I realize this condition is serious... I'd get help...
BUT FIRST...I think I'll check my Mail.
