Ask HN: How do you deal with multitasking overload

2 pointsby scott_oover 9 years ago
I&#x27;ve noticed recently that way too often I will open a program to do something and then notice something that I was doing earlier, finish it or work on it for a while, then finally go back to the original app, remember what I was supposed to be doing and go back to it.<p>Does anybody else have this problem? I find myself getting caught up in this loop all the time.<p>Ironically, this is an instance of that, I&#x27;ll probably get distracted by some article after I submit this and not go back to what I was doing.

Maybe these things you forget about aren&#x27;t very important to you? For example, if your house is on fire, you won&#x27;t open an app and then be too distracted to run out.
