Do you have a short attention span?

No, my focus is like a las…uuhmm, could you please repeat the question? ;)

Squirrrreeeeel !

It was a BUTTERFLY @Tropical_Willie!! Focus!

@everyone, lol okay I guess I should have seen this coming :)

Depends on the situation. I was once told by a woman I was involved with, that I had the attention span of a cockroach, which was hurtful. But that was pertaining to relationship crap. Which I fortunately no longer have to deal with. Old age and a long lasting marriage have their advantages. Other than that, my concentration skills are good.

@Nomore_Tantrums Congratulations on a long-lasting marriage.

@RayaHope Well TY very much. But all credit is due to my wife, putting up with me for all of these years : )

Mine was always short but has gotten even shorter since I take frequent breaks for internet checking!

@janbb I can be so forgetful at times. I’ll start something and then start something else and forget all about the other thing I was doing. I’m still young, I hate to see what I’ll be like when I get old like 50 or more.

Yes and no.

I’m easily distracted.
But I also tend to hyperfixate.

It’s easy to focus if you prioritize:
• Sex…
• Someting else (I think)
• Other stuff, that’s not sexual

There. Just try it and pretty soon you’ll be a genius. Everyone will want you.

For your mind.

@JLoon I think that one of my problems is thinking of sex too much. I try to put that out of my head because it gets me all messed up. It’s like all around me in my everyday life. I have to hide those feelings.

I’m like @raum – easily distracted, but I also hyperfixate. Of the two, I hyperfixate more. My apartment might look like an ogre just ran through it, but boy that one drawer is perfection personified! One time I took the vacuum cleaner apart and washed the parts (except the motor) in the bathtub because I couldn’t get it clean enough with a dust cloth.

On the other hand, sometimes a search for something on the internet will fill most of the day, but 3 days later I’ve forgotten what was so damned important.

@smudges Oh don’t get me started on some of the things I OCD about. Patterns are big for me like if a tile or edge of something is off…grrrr, I go crazy. Centering things get me too like a piece of artwork that is crooked or off center.

I’ll tell you in a minute or two when I finish writing my memoirs.

Nah, it’s just the way these shorts ride up.

@eyesoreu Listen, mister, start wearing long pants.

Big boy pants, yes m’aam.

What?

As I get older it gets shorter.

I have little patience for doing activities I don’t want to do as I age, so It’s hard for me to focus on tasks that bore me or aren’t fun or interesting. It’s enough already. Years and years of things I don’t want to do.

@JLeslie you sound a lot like me right now, wonder how I’ll be when I get older. I seem to get sidetracked so easily.

Our attention span has been shortened by sound bites and the internet. (This is a shout out to you who write walls of text. We ain’t reading them!)

@Dutchess_III – Get to the point will you? ;D

@JLoon LOL! not so long next time.

Right @JLoon?
