Do you often find yourself doing something else instead of?

Like, seriously, how many times must I reload a game that I intended to play half an hour ago but somehow end up always reading this or that? (Or... ask this.)

Always getting side tracked or going off on tangents. At the moment it tends to be only in work when I have direction to do a specific job can I focus on the task and follow it through.
I put so many jobs off at home because of tangents. Also, when I try to focus on a head on task I sometimes hit a wall. Tangents mean at least something is done even if yet again, the origional task is on the waiting list. Usually a tangent for me is veering off at a 45 degree angle to what I origionally intended to do, but these walls I have recently been hitting feel more like a 90 degree shift. If I don't do this I just sit there with the job in front of me and don't seem to do anything. I then feel the full force of depression or stress (Whatever it is) if I try to ignore the wall and push forth. I have been getting this trying to sort bikes of friends out. I have had them sitting here for a couple of months. Every time I have been hitting a wall.
I was today thinking how I need to work on them. Well. I'm upstairs again lying on my bed typing my thoughts into this tablet!

All my life I've had these 45 degree tangents as my mind wonders from one thing to the next. Distractions! But never have I had these "Walls" until recently.

More recently, yes.

Yes.

Yeah I can get pretty bad about this.

What do actually do when I plan on playing a game or doing something in general? I will read something, start pacing, monologue about what I was reading, and never end up playing when it's suddenly time for bed.
