You know, it’s like - have you ever tried to have a decent conversation, but your mind keeps wandering off mid-sentence? Yeah, that’s me nowadays. My brain’s turned into a browser with too many tabs open, and I’m pretty sure it’s all because of the endless stream of info we’re fed on social media and the like. I mean, think about it - we’re constantly bombarded with these tiny, bite-sized nuggets of info, and it’s like our brains have just given up trying to, you know, focus for more than a hot second. It’s kinda funny, in a sad way - here we are, struggling to keep a thought straight, while AI and those fancy language models are over here developing their own little thought processes. I’m guilty as charged, too - I’m a Twitter junkie, and I’m pretty sure my own fractured thoughts are a direct result of scrolling through my feed for hours on end. So, in a (possibly misguided) attempt to regain my ability to concentrate, I’ve decided to start writing down my thoughts - all of them, no matter how random or disjointed they may be. The idea, I suppose, is to kinda… retrain my brain to focus for more than a few seconds at a time. Will it work? I’ve got no idea - but I’m willing to give it a shot. The real question is, can I stick to it? I mean, I’ve tried to start journals before, and let’s just say they didn’t exactly become a long-term habit… Still, I’m determined to see this through - if only because I’m tired of feeling like my brain’s been turned into mush. And who knows, maybe writing all this down will help me figure out what’s going on in that messy little head of mine. Perhaps - just perhaps - I’ll stumble upon some hidden insight or something. A guy can dream, right? Anyway, that’s where I’m at - trying to make sense of this whole “fractured focus syndrome” thing, and hoping against hope that I can somehow, someway, manage to focus for more than a few minutes without getting distracted by, oh, I don’t know… a squirrel or something. Wish me luck, I guess? - I’m gonna need it.
