This is so true. I should probably leave my phone in another room while writing from now on. Also, when I use google music the ads pull me away from my story every couple songs. Great article! It’s helpful to be aware of these things.

Thanks, Shifra! Great article, the process of oscilating between different “neural networks” is interesting indeed. I think that might even happen while working on one thing. At least, I noticed that. When writing one paragraph, a completely new thought emerges, still related to what I am writing, but not something that completes the previous thought, something detached. Sometimes it's a new pattern my mind was able to recall, sometimes it's just an internal distraction. Sometimes it helps, thought. I believe that could be a result of constant context switching which we indeed have to find a way to adapt to, otherwise it's to easy to digress.

Ouch. I didn't even sign up for TikTok and it comes my way via Instagram and I cannot stop watching dancers . . .I wonder if we should take cues from this obsessive behaviour. I am looking up dance classes now: thank you!
