Hi all!
Wow, I think I went into rant mode so didn't expect to see so many replies but thank you so much for all of your useful tips and insight!
I haven't been eating right, this is true. I've had gastritis/ulcer issues so I don't know WHAT is right until my appointment with a specialist which isn't for another month. I'm sure my diet probably plays a big part in my attention span - thank you for pointing that out!!!!
Also, yes. I have tons going on right now. I resigned full time work so I could concentrate on my degree but staying home has its own host of responsibilities. They were easy to ignore when I was gone 8 hours a day and now they kind of stare me in the face and make me feel incompetent if I don't deal with them i.e. keeping the house spotless, cooking wholesome meals etc. That doesn't sound taxing but combined with 8 hours of research every day, health problems, anxiety re: these health problems, hubby between jobs and waiting for interview results, me waiting for him to get a job so I can get a job etc...it's like I don't have the capacity to FOCUS.
Truly appreciate all of your suggestions. I think meditation would be ideal and I keep telling myself that I'll do it but then I don't have time but I do, but I don't....
Aren't you glad you don't have my brain
Plus, if I'm this bad at 35.............I'll apologize to my family now as I'm not getting any younger!
