Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm 75 and I frequently experience this issue. It’s frustrating in that I know the answer but it is swirling around the neurons. Eventually it will squeeze through and pop up. Always a satisfying experience. 😊

Thank you, Lori. I'm in my late 70s, and one issue with distraction, memory issues is always " Is this normal under the circumstances you're describing, or am I developing age-related brain issues?". Notifications from apps with time reminders is good start for me. I don't need the reminders, and they are jarring.

Love it. The Internet, with all of us expected to attend to its myriad sites and apps, is a perfect set-up for self-overwhelm. We're not the Supreme Multitaskers we'd like to think that we are. And every one of the regime's minions seems to have been instructed to maximize the flood of minute-by-minute insults to our rights and our morality. Everything this illegitimate regime does is a distraction from everything ELSE they are doing, designed to scream for more of our attention than we are able to handle. The things that escape our attention do so through carefully-planned "flooding of the zone." 😎✌️
