Past Me always thinks he knows exactly what Present Me should be doing with my time. Past Me is a lazy asshole who doesn't want to make the effort at the moment, so he does something like buying a book and leaves it for Present Me to finish. Everything from the dishes to articles to books.
Sometimes that jerk doesn't even bother to make a long term memory, so I open my Kindle reader and there's books in there I barely recognize. The Complete History of Czarist Russia?? Who the hell does Past Me think I am? It's like he thinks between then and now, I've suddenly become a completely different person.
Of course, I try not to do this to Future Me. I might bookmark a few sites, added a few movies to my watch list and signed up for an class or whatever. But I'm sure he'll have the time and focus that I don't have now. I'm sure of it. He'll thank me, really, I'm sure.
