For me its when someone tells me to bring them something. If i try to find something that i need, i will find it really quickly. If someone is asking me to find something for them in a room, it is like i become blind and even if its in front of me, it is really hard to find it.
“Oh, I’ve been meaning to do (X). I’ll get right on that!”
I will not get right on that. No matter how sincere I am when I tell you that I will. Unless I am incredibly anxious about it, it’ll drop out of my head and poof into nonexistence the instant this conversation is over.
(Yes, I use a lot of to-do lists and reminders.)
