@LexYeen Also known as, "I have four projects open on my computer and I want to keep working on each but I can't get my hands to move to finish any of them and I have to close at least one so I can open Steam and spend a half hour browsing my collection without settling on a game to play. Also, I will get a second wind that latches me onto one of those projects and drags me into the wee hours of tomorrow morning, then spend most of that day haphazardly starting a fifth project while forgetting to do laundry."

Of any four words that could summarize this, I think yours are the best yet.
