My boss used to remind me that I was easily distracted by 'shiny objects'. These items were obviously not gold nuggets, but random shit that would pass my cubicle or pop up on my screen. I could be mid-sentence, and oops, there it goes. M attention diverted. I think it is a fact that even when appearing to be 'multitasking', we are truly only focusing on one thing at a time. Especially us N.A.D.D.ers. At work, I typically do quite fine working on various projects, but when the phone rings, I always mutter a 'delete expletive'. Regardless, great insight.

Regarding the toilet water: the water going down the toilet in an opposite direction is purely a myth. The directionality of toilet water has more to do with the shape of the bowl and the level than the Coriolis Effect.
