There is nothing wrong with your attention.

There is nothing wrong with your discipline.

There is nothing wrong with your ability to focus.

Your brain simply wasn’t designed for this much input.

Not this many notifications.
Not this many decisions.
Not this much information.
Not this many open loops.
Not this much constant awareness of everything happening everywhere.

When your brain feels tired, scattered, or foggy, it is not failing.

It is overloaded.
