    I seem to think of something I need to do, intend to do it later, then forget about it completely for a few days, then remember it and intend to do it later, and so on. Do you have a flakey side?

    Ughh flakey to me sounds like skin flakes falling off your dry ass skin.
    or, i know it as a term for being flakey, like, a shady character, devient.

    Not a phrase I hear someone call themselves for being inconsistent. :p

    what you describe does sometimes happen to me. usually at work, when i get interrupted 13 times on the way from my office to the next room to do whatever it was i needed to do.

    If it's something important, I try to leave myself notes or set a reminder on my phone.

    I have some days that are fairly easy and other days that I'm starving at 2 pm and realize I've been so busy that I forgot to stop and eat lunch.

    i get paranoid of doing simple easy things, some of which need to be done.
    as soon as i try to commit myself to doing anything this happens.
    this is why i try dilligently to avoid making commitments.

    i'm just so determined not to flake on anything, that i avoid committing myself to anything to avoid doing so.
    the closest thing to making and keeping a commitment, was when i had jobs or classes, to always show up, and on time.
    (and this i have always done)

    but comitting myself to anything else, even using credit or taking out small loans,
    this is why i have no credit rating, with in tern keeps me from moving into a decent real appartment,
    or ever owning a piece of land (which i'd absolutely love for there to be someplace i could just build the kind of shelters i love imagining and do know how to build)

    this is my anxiety issue that has kept me from accomplishing more in life.

    this is why also why i don't buy stuff on line,
    and haven't donated my ten bux a year for gallery space on hips.

    why i haven't had more and better jobs more percentage of my life then i've had.

    it's why i'm living where i am, and what i feel like i'm kind of a prisoner of.

    now i'm old, just an old guy who makes 3d pictures and posts them on line,
    but have never taken commissions and don't offer them.
    not that i would refuse, other then to refuse to make promisses.

    i make pictures of what i'm interested in and the kind of world i'd like to live in,
    but completely without committments of any kind, other then i do, kind of try
    to produce something on average every week or so.
