I think it was supposed to be about a person who is aging and becoming forgetful but it read to me like someone with ADD. I don't think I keep an orderly house but when I do have a day to dig in and clean, I HAVE to have a list. Otherwise, I will get distracted by something in one room and forget what I had been doing. I usually set a timer in the kitchen to match the time on the washer or dryer so I don't forget the laundry. Some days none of it really matters but other times, I have a limited amount of time and it becomes imperative that I stick to the list to get things done.
