Start talking about something and get so lost on tangents trying to explain all the precursory information they need to understand that original thing I haven’t explained yet that I’m now debating something entirely unrelated and have forgotten the original point I’m trying to make.

Bonus points if I end up losing my train of thought during one of the tangents and now don’t even know what I said two seconds ago and have still forgotten the original point I was trying to make.

Also not being able to do simple things I plan/need to do, like laundry or writing an email, but then spend 4hrs straight building something incredibly complex from scratch just to test a random theory I had that has no other usefulness.

Read something and not registering what it said. Only realizing it after a half page or more. Then going back, reading it again, only to still not have a clue what it says. Then trying to read it aloud, because surely that will keep my mind on task enough to register it. But no. My mind decided that some tangent was way more entertaining.

I usually just give up at that point. I can’t wrangle my mind back and have it be interested at that moment.

forgetting what I was talking about mid-sentence

asking someone what they just asked me to do 30 seconds ago because I didn’t write it down fast enough

doing requests immediately even if they’re not urgent because otherwise I’ll forget

procrastinating showering long enough that my hair is visibly dirty 😞

Being mentally paralyzed and unable to execute on anything other than doom scrolling for 4 years.

Mid-sentence brain farts, trying to finish your sentences, extreme procrastination, projects started but not done, a thousand hobbies.

That’s just the easy to see ones.
