How to tell if you might be distracted...

As I added detergent to my second load of laundry, I realized that the first load, now nicely folded and presumably "clean", was actually washed without soap of any kind.

The housemates and I decided that the soap residue that must be in the washer, coupled with the high heat of the dryer made my clothes clean, even if I washed them without laundry soap.

I decided that I need to focus on the task at hand, instead of thinking about all the other things going on in my life.
