Lately I’ve noticed I can’t seem to focus on anything for long. I’ll start reading a book, then pick up my phone, check an email, get distracted by something else — and suddenly half an hour’s gone.
It’s the same at work too. I used to be able to concentrate for hours, but now I find myself jumping between tasks and forgetting what I was doing. I don’t think it’s stress exactly, more like constant mental noise.
I’ve tried cutting down on screen time and taking breaks, but it hasn’t made much difference.
Is this just how everyone’s brain works now, or have I totally messed up my focus habits?
