Omg it has a name. Thanks for the link. I'll literally cook a meal then 'just do something quickly before I sit down to eat it' and completely forget that there's a meal on the side until I go back into that room to eat it. It doesn't happen often because I know it happens so I have an order for doing things to make sure I don't stray too far from the task until I'm finished.

E.g. I could put the toast in and the kettle on then brush my teeth while I'm waiting. That would be efficient. But I'll completely forget. So I brush my teeth, then put the kettle on, wait, get everything else ready, pour the tea, put the bread in, put some things away, butter the toast and leave the rest of the stuff out till after I've eaten. Otherwise, the kitchen will be spotless but I'll suddenly remember at 3pm that I haven't eaten and maybe I should start again with the cold over brewed tea and 'toast'.

You're welcome, hope the knowledge helps.

For me, any object sitting somewhere for a few days just becomes part of the room, fading into the background until I barely perceive the clearly visible idk clutter on my desk for example. It's annoying but once you know what's happening, that makes it a lot easier to, well, cope
