I'm not sure what is happening. Perhaps it is too much internet use or something. I just found myself being impatient while watching a 3 minute video on YouTube! For some reason I wanted to start clicking stuff on the page and scrolling through other things. The video was only 3 minutes long! Perhaps that explains why I'm having so much difficulty working on other things. Before I wrote this blog post I spent about 4 minutes reading a book.....I guess now it is time to get back to the book ;)

I'm glad to hear I'm not
I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. I got bored watching a 2 minute video. What is training us?
