I do similar things when a task has two physically separate locations like taking out the trash.

While walking out with the trash I will repeat constantly "put in new bag" all the way to the garbage and all the way back, otherwise the task doesn't get completed.

I would be lying if I said I hadn’t done the same thing. “New bag new bag new bag new ba… hey why did I leave that camp chair over there. Man I miss camping. Well trash is done, back to the computer!”

I put a new bag in before I leave the room to avoid that. Not ADHD just a terrible memory. Bag is in plain sight so it's hard to forget the task between steps.
