I didn't have a thought in my head other than getting a cup of coffee
when I went into the kitchen. I poured a cup and then got out a rib
roast rub it with penzeys shallot pepper and granulated garlic set the
oven for 350F for 2hours and put the roast in the oven, then left the
kitchen. After I sat at the computer for about 3 minutes I went back
into the kitchen for my coffee. Other than death is there a cure for
this, losing one focus that is?

I think it happens at all ages. I was particularly aware of it when
my kids were small. There was one door I called "the portal of
forgetfulness" because I'd have a thought on one side... step through
the doorway it to do what I was thinking about, then get sidetracked
and completely forget about what I was going to do until I went back
through that doorway again. OH, YEAH - I still haven't done x!
Trudge back, repeat process.


Yes, you're right...all ages. Even in my 20s I would have to sometimes
retrace my steps to remember what I had intended to do or get.
