I Keep Getting Distracted And Simple Tasks Take Way Longer Than They Should

I keep drifting from one thing to the other. They seem somewhat related.

But I end up branching off to the related thing (Thing 2), and then forget about the initial one (Thing 1).

And from there I may branch out to other things (Things 2++).

After which I return to Thing 2, feeling like I’ve explored it thoroughly, to then realize it was just a side quest that wasn’t all that necessary.

And in fact instead of spending 30 min – 1h on a side quest, I should’ve focused on Thing 1 entirely.
