I noticed it last year, and it was because of Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Definitely, Its like my brain is on vacation without me 😂😂
M Anees
Yeah!, I've noticed my mind wandering more lately.
Derek Liu
I do, especially since I joined PH, and there are many tasks I need to complete to prepare for my first launch.
Nathan Covey
It's a constant battle

That decline is a generational problem. Thank you, cheap dopamine form social media, now we can't focus on anything that takes longer that 30 seconds to watch

Yep, been struggling with focus lately too. Started using the Pomodoro technique and it's helping a bit. 25 min focus sprints with short breaks. Maybe give that a shot?

Yes, I’ve definitely notice my focus slipping lately. I think all the screen time and constant notifications are a big part of it.
Cedric Jude Hawthorne
Yeah, definitely noticed the same thing. I find my focus drifting more easily these days, especially when working on tedious or mentally draining tasks. Been trying to take more frequent short breaks to reset my mind, which seems to help a bit. Curious what others have found useful for improving concentration!

Yes, I've noticed it especially during stressful times. I try to manage it by taking regular breaks and practicing mindfulness.
Alexander Kovalov
Yes, that is true. I decided to remove all distractions, live my life only on schedule in Google Calendar and Asana tasks, remove all notifications from my phone except urgent from my wife, remove any social media apps from my phone home screen. And it really helped me.

I’ve noticed my mind wandering when I’m sleep deprived.

Yeah 🥲 I often find myself in a freeze state, especially since I'm in front of a computer or phone most of the time. I always make sure to take a quick walk outside after a day's work just to decompress. It helps a lot (plus points if it's around nature).
