Ask HN: How do you deal with multitasking overload

#1
I've noticed recently that way too often I will open a program to do something and then notice something that I was doing earlier, finish it or work on it for a while, then finally go back to the original app, remember what I was supposed to be doing and go back to it.

Does anybody else have this problem? I find myself getting caught up in this loop all the time.

Ironically, this is an instance of that, I'll probably get distracted by some article after I submit this and not go back to what I was doing.
