*G* so glad

you used "our"

my attention span *stops whilst checking something shiny* what was i sayi...*checks out another shiny* ..umm where was ... ooh yeah attention span *just kidding*

i think it's training largely and a lot of people don't train it, and both have advantages
the "see shiny, assess shiny, react or ignore shiny" (normal survival mode(used in traffic for instance))
focus mode *meditates looking at a rock for 5 hours* for deep thinking/problem solving and relaxation

both are needed

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
