Can’t settle

Lately I’ve found that if I’m due to do something in the afternoon or even , I can’t settle to anything, am like a cat on hit bricks counting down until the time I have to get ready and go. Is anyone else like this? I never used to be like it.

Yes I am a bit. Hospital appointment this afternoon and I am doing all kinds of things that don't need doing.

Same here. Prefer to do things in the morning as I find hanging around waiting to go in the afternoon means I just waste time. I am always ready far too early.

I find this too. I also find that I wake up very early and can't get back to sleep if I have to go anywhere before lunch. All the years I had to get up every morning, including the years I had to get the DCs off to school and then get in to work, I never had this problem.

Yes, I suffer from this too and I end up exhausted by the end of the day. Never used to be a problem.

Yes! It didn’t used to bother me so much, but I always hated being late, now I’m ready and set to leave hours in advance, it’s driving me nuts!

Yes I'm the same and am what my DMiL called being previous
It's probably due to having too much time to worry.
