How's that even multitasking? Sounds like the coffee mug didn't get enough use this morning.

I do similar stuff with jar/bottle caps/lids

Like I'll go to my tea kettle open it up put lid on counter. Get bottle of water, put cap on counter, fill tea kettle. Then I try placing the bottle cap on top of the tea kettle and get all confused

how is washing a coffee mug and getting a plastic cup of water not separate tasks?


and i do this a lot also, when im thinking about too many things at once. many times milk ended up in the cupboard and cereal in the fridge.
