I feel like as a mother, I am always thinking about 16 different scenarios for each action- (in order to get her to her appointment at ten, my client has to be done by X time, pack lunch and snacks in case we’re at the appointment during lunch time and locate nearest pharmacy for on the drive home-) and this could take up 3 seconds of brain ‘time’
