my attention span is so bad i cant watch something without being on my phone at the same time i always have to have 2 layers of activity when did this happen why is capitalism stealing my soul away the spectacle has me firmly in its grip

Psychology time!

This isn’t having a short attention span (or well maybe thats part of it), but probably something called “Optimal Arousal.”(This is psychology, not anatomy, please keep your mind out of the gutter Xp)

Optimal Arousal goes like this: When effort is low, more stimulus is better. When effort is high, less stimulus is better.

I’ll elaborate. Whenever you do something easy (like maybe some homework as an example), unless something else is happening (like music or a show) you tend to get drawn away or doze off. In this homework scenario, the effort is low, so in order to keep at it and do well on working on it, you need a higher amount of stimulus, like a movie.

If something is hard, like for instance a test, you probably will try to avoid noise, going so far as to hush others so you can concentrate. The effort is high so you want less stimulus.

Keep this in mind. It can help you focus, and make life a lot easier. Dont feel bad for doing lots of different things while you are just chillin. Enjoy the knowledge!

This is also the reason that when people get lost or are trying to find an unfamiliar destination, they turn their car stereo down.

Whoa wait turning down the music so you can “see better” is a real thing and not just something to poke fun at?

Happy pride to pansexuals and panromantics who often get forgotten or shoved into the same category as bisexuals. This post is specifically for you, your sexuality is unique and should be celebrated!

Be the type of parent that your child can go to when they have a problem because they know they won’t get yelled at or judged. So many parents wonder why their child doesn’t come to them for help and the answer is YOU. You showed them how you react to smaller problems thus they don’t come to you for bigger ones.
