Losing My Coffee Cup, My Phone, …

I sat down at my desk to continue writing my story this morning and discovered that my coffee cup was missing. I mean, I know I had it. I filled it and doctored my coffee the way I liked, but then I set it down, somewhere between the pot and my desk. Really, there are not that many steps for me to take between the two, but do you think I could find it???

So, I thought I’d check my phone messages and notifications while on my search, but low and behold, my phone was missing too! I had to stop all thought, retrace my steps, and that was when I realized two things.

First, I can’t multi-task as well as I think I can.

Second, I do some tasks on auto-pilot, which causes my lapse in memory.

So instead of finding my cup of coffee where I thought it would be, and my phone where it should be, I found my coffee on the shelf at the other end of the house, and my phone alongside it, obviously collaborating together, to keep me hopping today.

*Paying attention now, before it’s my “Mind” that I lose next*
