My problem is repeatedly getting distracted. My other problem is that I have more audio cables than I will need in my whole life. Ok, I have a whole lot of problems when it comes to this. It's my great shame because I'm pretty good at keeping most everything else in order these days.

I have a good sized box of electronics cables. I have three ~80gal storage totes with wheels and one cardboard box full of speaker cables, instrument cables, mic cables, adapters to plug in different devices to PA systems, several wireless receivers that I'm not entirely sure what they go with, and other miscellaneous cables, and I'm not sure how much of it works, how much I can solder back together, and how much just needs to be thrown out. That doesn't include the smaller tote with my current gear that I bring to gigs.

While writing this comment I realize I could probably just test them with a multimeter, but in the past I've plugged them in. This leads to me noodling on the guitar and losing the thread of what I'm doing.

Ideally, I'd get an extra set of cables as a just in case measure, fix what I can fix, and donate all the good ones I don't use to a broke musician just starting out. But my hyper focus has never manifested in a way that lets me just fucking get it done. I just make a mess and play guitar before giving up several days later and putting it all back because I need to do things in my garage.
