You ever begin one task only to tangent onto several others at the same time and never finish the first one, coming back around to it very much later if at all because you realize you forgot the one thing you set off to do to begin with, but it wasn't exactly unproductive since you accomplished thirteen other random things that did need doing? I feel awkward about it maybe a little but not necessarily bad. I did get things done, just maybe not in the optimal order and I might've been slightly distracted.

Oh yea definitely! In fact that's how I got here, I intended to do one thing totally unrelated and somehow ended up here lol Sometimes it's no big deal when I can go back to the actual task at hand, but other times it's hard to get back on track especially if it's a task I'm dreading. But meds help with this for me.

Quite common to me,especially if the first thing is boring/unimportant (to me), good for you to eventually get the first thing done!

Yes of course, that's classic. It's not a big problem, unless the task you procrastinated on has a deadline. A lot of the times, it does. That's the big problem.

"Classic" being the operative word. It was a boon for jobs I've had where each individual task was very short and simple, not so much for the jobs I got my degree for!
