I know that with certain disorders, especially panic and depression, there is a certain amount of safety in being in one spot. You get yourself contained and this is calming. Moving, changing, interrupting, decision making,etc. causes mild stress (sometimes, not so mild) which is unpleasant. Our minds tend to keep us from unpleasant or uncomfortable tasks.
I would venture it is a safety, comfort issue. You probably need time to get ready for the next thing and it is likely that you like planned out days or tasks. Let me know if I am on the right track. I think there is some stuff in my brain research papers. I'll look tomorrow.
