I think when you combine this with a lack of effort, it can create an evil concoction.
Take getting in shape for instance. This singular objective is a top-of-mind awareness for me. I literally am thinking about it constantly. I always make the best of plans to start exercising, start walking, start eating healthy, start a low carb diet again, and on and on.
The problem is implementing these actions. I set a time line and an objective, but the ideas never leave the start line and by the time I remember I haven't started, the goal is so far behind I set out to begin creating a new one, only to leave that one stranded in time as well. It's truly frustrating and I wish I knew how to change my paradigm to that of someone capable of achieving personal goals.
I was at a photoshoot today at JCMG and I was paying more attention to the camera screen than where I was walking. I ended up hitting my head on a nice jagged extension arm of a piece of equipment mounted from the ceiling. I'm not sure if it was a camera or a light, but either way it hurt. I fully expected blood to come running down my face, but luckily that didn't happen. What better place to have some kind of laceration than a medical facility though, right? Thankfully, I just have a knot and a headache.

I can play stuff, I want to be a founding member of "Remnants of Fay"!!
I too experience this time slippage. I've been making lists to try and combat it, and it's worked somewhat. I make a list the night before or the morning of and try to get everything accomplished. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Ho-hum.
Sorry you busted yo' heyett onna light.
I can play stuff...can I be a Remnant with Lexy??? I dunno about Fay...that is a name for an oldass, garden-hoeing, Metamucil-gobbler.
On the other thing....as Steve Miller once said, "Time keeps on slippin'-slippin'-slippin' into the future." And nothin' we can do about it. (I added that line myself, thank you, thank you.)
Sooo I make lists sometimes too. Or do what I did--take a dumb aerobics class because Lincoln University MAKES you do it. Then, if you don't want to fail the class, you will exercise at least twice a week, whether you want to or not. :)
Oh God, I remember when my advisor at Lincoln informed me that, oops, he had forgotten to mention that I needed to take at least one PE type class in order to graduate. So I took the only thing open...Folk and Social dance. Twice a week, whether I liked it or not I danced. In case the information is ever deemed to be important, I now know that I am a "C" grade dancer. Humpf.
