Done in my mind also needs to be done and gone in front of me. Out of sight, out of mind. To keep the momentum going I need to be moving on to the next task almost before I've finished clicking the check box on the last, and cmd-k interupts that.

I've just thought of a way to explain it that might tell you what it feels like to me: It's the same as reading half way through a sentence in a good book, and then:

Wife: "did you put the rubish out?".

Me: "yes I did" (re-starts the sentence).

5 second delay

Wife: "what about the cat?".

Me: "Yes dear" (re-starts the sentence).

5 second delay

Wife: "Yvette says Emily's doing well at school".

Me: "That's good" (re-sta....oh you get the picture).

5 second delay

Wife: "I think we should change these curtains".

"Oh for Pete"s sake, I give up!!!!"
