Narrative:

While descending to toledo, was cleared from 16000 ft to 14000 ft. I asked for direct tol, and given. I put 14000 ft in altitude alerter and programmed direct tol in GPS. Had autoplt on and at 12200 ft controller asked my assigned altitude. About then I thought cleared to 11000 ft for tol approach, and said 11000 ft. I looked at the alerter and saw 14000 ft. I must have missed the chime and forgot to hit altitude select on autoplt while reprogramming the GPS. A long day and got busy and let my mind do something other than fly the plane.
