Having Adhd Probably Doesn't Help - Tumblr Posts

I bet it's that walking through a door thing. When you walk through a door often it clears your mind; I gather this is evolution at work because survival demands you have all your attention ready for whatever's on the other side of the door. That's why you'll be in the kitchen and think, "I need my notebook," but the instant you go through the door to the living room where you left it, you can't remember why you left the kitchen.

Anyway, I'm guessing opening an app maybe be similar enough to opening a door that it does the same thing. The calculator and the clock are side-by-side, so it's easy to miss-tap and open the wrong one. As it opens, your mind gets cleared. And then you're staring at the calculator blinking with confusion until you piece together what your original intent was.
