I get frustrated when my thoughts keep going in circles. Often I find myself doing all sorts of things while trying to write out something long and elaborate, because I'll be typing and then by like "lalallalalalalaaaaaaaaaa" and then off I go and muck about and them come back do a quick reread, get a few more lines out, and back off I go. It made writing essays a fun challenge...
I tend to picture my brain in a lot of ways like a room full of filing cabinets. (This is actually based off Sherlock Holmes)

“I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.” - Sherlock Holmes, a Study in Scarlet

Except mine is a filing system. I put things away diligently... but there's no organization to where the filing cabinets are laying, there's often stuff laying around on top of them. Some are left open, others are locked, and goodness knows where the second page of X Y or Z went to. And sometimes other parts of my brain enjoy trashing the place and I have to find it all and try to put it all back where it belongs. And when I'm looking for something in particular, other things might come flying at me due to that silly brain of mine. But trust me, it's alllll there. Sometimes I can find it quickly and other times goooood luck. I also tend to recheck the same cabinets too much as there is certainly not a map or a dewie-decimal system!
