sometimes I think // other times can't focus // though the results tend to be much the same // so why bother?

Focus is one of my biggest problems. When I’m gifted with it occasionally it’s amazing how much gets done. But mostly, it’s elusive. (K)
With enough rest and caffeine I can sometimes get there…
Focus is at times elusive but most of the time I’m hyper focused. (Had to learn to focus to survive the open concept classroom experience)
I never really learned…
Indeed, at times….lovely, David. ❤️❤️

Sometimes I find the results are even better when I don’t focus 🤷♀️
it’s weird, right? I’m like that too – I might be collapsing from exhaustion at the keyboard, and next thing I know there’s a poem on my screen 🙂
Ah! Your mind is a wanderer. 🙂
Yeah – it’s very impractical! 😒

I love that you can capture so much in so few words!
It’s really the form, Rae… it just forces the content when you have something to say… Thank you so much.

Hilarious 😀

Ah, that slippery beast that is focus. I used to be bad at it when it came to my own creative work — I guess my day job used up most of my focus. Thankfully, my focus has become better as I’ve grown older.
Lucky man❣️

😳 thank you 😳
3 lines man
Just great stuff 🤙🏽
Ooh, I feel this. Sometimes, I find it’s not worth the effort anymore if it won’t change. Something’s gotta give.
Yeah, I often feel: “Oh, f— it.”
That’s the spirit!
I felt this way in college studying chemistry, in that I whether I studied or didn’t study, I got the same grade.
yeah – it’s very demotivating…
Yep. Studying didn’t last long
Are you the kind of person who consciously sits down to think? I rarely do but I know people who do… the ones I think of immediately are all male. They nut out a problem – just sit there thinking very busily. I mull things over but my mind leaps about quite unpredictably… usually while I’m doing something else like driving or sweeping or hanging out washing. I still come up with good ideas. I just don’t follow any stepping stones to find them. Sometimes wish I could.
Not always, but yes… although it’s not always sitting – I’m more of a pacer than a sitter 🚶♂️

I can be a pacer too when it comes to ideas, David. Sometimes, I sit, and other times, I get ideas while doing other things that don’t themselves require a lot of thinking.
I can relate to that 🙂
My pacing usually comes after something unexpected has come to me and I’m trying to puzzle through how to articulate it.
Thanks, Susan.

I was a pacer when being imaginative from childhood. When I’m writing fiction, sometimes I feel the need to pace and kind of see the scene played out in my mind first.
I also pace when talking on the phone. It drives my wife crazy 😀
Ha ha. 🙂
Indeed.
