RE: Then You're Wondering ...

in The Pub14 days ago

I am probably one of those. I posted about daydreaming the other day. Even mentioned I may have ADHD. For me I have to study and read long passages in the morning. I also take short breaks between. Most afternoons, like this one, I am almost useless for reading lengthy and dry stuff. So, I stay away from my academic studies if it is a course that bores me. If reading in the afternoon it will be short articles or posts, like here on Hive.

It wasn't like that when I was younger and working. My mind would wander alot as a teenager though, and it does now that I am retired. But I think it does it for different reasons than when I was a teenager.

It is funny though, because writing is the opposite. Once I start writing, I get in a zone and rarely get distracted.

You are not Joe, trust me. Yes, you are struggling and encountering difficulties, but you're twice (if not more) the age they have and you've been through a lot. Don't put yourself in their shoes as it's not a fair comparison. After a certain age, you need twice as much time and effort to get half the result, unfortunately.

At their age, their brain should be at the top and their energy level should also be on the top. Not to mention their only goal should be studying, nothing more.

See? That's great! It's huge that you can do this in the afternoon and thus not only fill your day with something useful and productive, but also enjoy it.

I feel like my brain should still be top to. At least my brain tells my body that :-)
