After working for many years in a “fast pace environment” I can’t help but notice that I have increasing difficulties to do simple tasks.

In office, I always start multiple tasks at the same time. I noticed I often start but barely finish.

At home, it gets even worse. “Let’s make tea” takes several back and forth to the kitchen, wondering what I am doing there. Then forgetting I boiled water.

I’ve tried to trick myself by ordering tasks, but ultimately I end up asking myself what was I doing until now.

I don’t take medicines of any kind. “1st world problem” is granted, accepted, validated.

I’m sure I’m not the only one. Have you found a recipe that works for you ?

    In similar vein to what others have posted:

    I think you’re describing a combination of stress and preoccupation. I suggest looking into mindfulness as a way to start helping with both.

    If it’s more than that and you have healthcare, both a Dr visit and psychiatry visit to discuss with a professional could be helpful.
