True for me as well but hard for most to find a situation (or employer/client) that can be this lenient.
For me, I have certain issues that are literally impossible to explain. Why am I a half hour late? Because I had to go back inside the house to grab something different I forgot 4 separate times, and on the third time, I lost the item I went back for originally, and had to spend 15 minutes looking for that. Oh, my car keys ended up in the refrigerator for some reason. Why not? There have been periods where this has been every waking moment of my life if I don't concentrate as hard as I can.
"Why don't you just set aside a spot for things." Wow, geez, I never thought of that, thanks. I'm cured.
