This guy is trying to remember which article of clothing he forgot to put on.
Sometimes I’ll walk into a room to get something and then
completely forget what I was looking for. I read an article that said walking
through a doorway creates an “event boundary” in your brain where whatever you
were thinking/doing in one room gets closed up and filed away before you enter
another. So it’s actually your brain’s tidiness and not any impending
altzheimer’s or absent-mindedness that’s causing you to space out. I suppose
this is why retracing your steps can help you remember. My brain must be
extremely tidy because it creates “event boundaries” at other times like when I
call someone on the phone and then forget who it is I’m calling, or when I go
through a list of my entire family’s names before hitting on the right one.
