I have the problem where I don't see what's right in front of me.
I'm too busy looking around.

I do that with boring tasks as well. My mind wanders and I'm everywhere but there.

I mind also wanders while watching TV. My bf will say "did you see that?" and I'll be
looking right at the TV yet my mind is somewhere else.
I just say, no I wasn't paying attention and he'll have to rewind the DVR.
