Assess thyself

Am I one of those others?

Always, James.

IOW, you don't notice the things that are always there? As in "It looks like they tore down a building there. Do you remember what it was?" (Thinks for a few minutes...) "Do I live here?"

That would be extremely high latent inhibition, if I'm understanding correctly.

But if that filtering mechanism which is latent inhibition is weakened, it can sometimes be overburdensome. I get distracted pretty easily when outside.

Maybe, especially if procrastination is one of them.

In response to your desire for procrastination, it is very good that I did not procrastinate yesterday. It was a nice sunny day with the temperature in the 50s F. The wind wasn't too bad and I managed to replace my down hole pump and get it working. If I had procrastinated until today when it is 28°F, windy and snowing, I would not have gotten it done today.

However I did procrastinate last year. Today is lockdown. I have two different bottom hatching trays that I can use in the hatcher. I discovered that I had totally procrastinated and both trays were in need of cleaning. I cleaned both trays and the hatcher is warming up.

This also points out that @Kiki and I are not twins as she is obsessive about cleanliness where I only clean when absolutely necessary.

I only clean when absolutely necessary.

Yeah, me too, about once a week.

I'm a nice, well-adjusted medium between you. I keep stuff clean, but I don't obsess over it.

I don't keep stuff clean at all, I am an unconscientious bum who leaves trash around.

Oh, James, James, James - I worked with folks like that. One day I went to the break room and bagged everything dirty/unwashed and threw it into the dumpster. When they started looking for pots, pans, coffee makers, utensils, etc. I told them what I had done. They retrieved the trash bag and modified their behavior. Perhaps I need to speak with your parents ?
