you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock somethink else over

Same here - no idea but its amazing how often that happens. Its probably because you are concentrating too much on catching the one thing and not realising how close the other thing was and it happens all too quickly.

Because youre only paying attention to the thing that is falling and therefore aren't thinking about where you are in association to other things on the table.

You should tidy your table. That way nothing will fall off and there will be nothing to knock over.

Because you are unaware of your bodys movements as your single focus is rescuing the falling object....
