i've always had this problem... not sure whether it happens to most ppl...but i really have a short attention span at times..
or you may call it "impatient"...i don't give a damn about the friggin label right now as i'm not a very happy person right now..
yes..i'm talking about journals..i really really really wanted to read them today. However, after reading every sentence, i have this urge/tendency to skip to the next paragraph thinking that there's a short cut or some sort..yes i do realize it ain't gona work that way..
some may say that this is quite normal considering it is an academic reading material..but i'm doing that even when i read blogs!! not boring blogs but friends', kennysia or even maddox (started reading it today). On top of that, since my last semester at HELP, i realized that my reading strategy has changed dramtically. When i read, i do not even take the effort to remember the information... in other words, i do not make a conscious effort to transfer information from STM to my LTM. And in doing that, i somehow have this faint hope that i would recall them whenever needed... to be honest it did work!! which prolly explains why i'm still doing that.. mind you obviously i couldn't remember every single friggin piece of info i was suppose to.
here's the thing.. should i just continue doing that? change it? or just stop thnking so much?
if you believe every single attribute we have be it adaptive or maladaptive can be attributed to genes..well..my mom sorta kinda has this problem.. just like anyone (or me), her train of thoughts constanty stray away during conversations..my landlord/employer recently said that sometimes i think too much, overanalyze things and having short attention span (which is how i have this idea that my reading deficiencies are caused by short attention span)
well..as i'm writing this.. i realize that attention might be a problem but perhaps it is due the fact i have trouble keeping up with my own thoughts? that i think so much that at times my brain basically had to go into 'suspend' mode? writing this have enabled me to gather my thoughts.. a little..
don't get me wrong.. it's not me to wither under the pressure of assignments and exams hence the frustration right now, trust me i had worst...rather, it is the reoccuring thought that i still have 3 assignments and 4 exams to go before i complete my course and of course go back..this discrepancy between my current situation and the desired situation is annoying the hell out of me.. some motivational theories believe that this discrepancy motivates an individual..heck i even used this strategy to motivate others before and it did worked! well.. it certainly doesn't seem to work on myself.. dang!
on top of that, this dry weather is really annoying the hell out of me right now that my skin is friggin itchy and i can't stop scratching my back..
i'm certainly not in the best of my moods..
luckily it hasn't reach the boiling point....yet.
heck, i even skipped through lines when proof reading this post.. there's gonna be mistakes i reckon..
Help me Mr. brain and Mr. Creator of the brain.
