Anyone feel they tend to think in very short sequences? Sequences which are units themselves aka parts vs the whole? Experiences?

Kinda. I have a gmail account where I e-mail myself these thoughts on an almost daily basis. This helps me to see how they relate to one another and slowly the big picture emerges. I'm soon going to rewrite the theory of evolution and make Dawkins look like an idiot. It will be epic.

Yes, especially when it comes to planning and speaking.

All the time, I can't stop, when I stop it means there was something relevant I missed and I try to find what it was (I had a dozen of pseudo-random thoughts writing that sentence)

Yes. I sequence EVERYTHING! It's how I learn and remember things well.

Lol my gmail account has over 300 self emails split into categories. I can keep track of what I'm interested in at that time and what I want to research. Or just things I thought randomly. I have bad memory. Tell me four things and I can remember them, tell me five and I forget everything. So I have to write/email things to myself oten.

It's sort of like step by step or point form. Like how you follow cooking instructions or putting together something from IKEA (except this isn't as complicated).

My day is pretty much organised by to-do lists written in point form, in order I want to do certain tasks.

If I'm trying to learn something I have to write it down in point form. Sometimes my point form consists of full sentences or paragraphs though.

Say tomorrow I want to clean my room. Well it's a huge mess and can be overwhelming to look at, so to make it easier to clean I need to break it into categories. I usually start tidying my desk, or picking things off the floor, then onto vacuuming.

I have so many to-do lists and hastily written notes all over my room. Some are full of equations, others music notes, others diagrams (they also help me learn), plots for a story, etc.

I do that to with the To do lists. Mom tried to get me to schedule my time on a hour by hour frame, but that never worked cause I obsessed over getting the task done in the time frame, but with the point form to do list. I order them from most to least important and worked down the list until I completed it. It was task oriented rather than time oriented.
cool thanks for pointing that out.
