As a kid, Elite had this effect.
Lately it's been Kerbal.
"Okay, for tonight, I just do the construction."
"Okay, I just test it, and call the construction done when I'm sure it survives liftoff."
"Okay, so, I just put it in orbit."
"Okay, on the target's orbit, I mean."
"Okay, I'll just land and I'm done."
"Okay, just taking the scientific measures before bed."
"Okay, quickly lifting to orbit, because from here it's easy anyway."
"Okay, so, I just fly home and land, while I' m at it."
"Ooooh, new tech available. Let's just have a look at it in the construction center."
"Okay, for tonight, I just do the construction."
Having completed the tech tree in science mode did calm me a bit (though it happened middle in an interplanetary misssion I should still complete even though I won't require its scientific benefit anymore). But I fear the consequences of launching a career mode...
