Doing that is what caused me to realize that I had been looking for the wrong item. I got tired of using eyeglasses solely because of my own carelessness so I have trained myself to look down and double check if I hadn't found the last item in a pretty short amount of time.

I don't know how anyone else does it but I read and repeat the original items and then read and repeat the new ones that are appearing while I'm still repeating the original ones that I haven't found yet. If I find something and don't STOP repeating it (maybe because I didn't even know I found it!) and don't notice and correct this mistake before I get to the end of the list, then I might find myself in the situation where I am looking for the wrong thing.

Spockmum, welcome to the "somewhat distracted at times" club. I was also relieved to see that I wasn't the only one (thanks, Maggie!) and am now wondering just how many of us may exist.
