Anne tipped the vase of apple blossoms near enough to bestow a soft kiss on a pink-cupped bud, and then studied diligently for some moments longer.

In some ways it [distractibility] is a charming symptom. The mind meanders like a brook...But in other ways it is anything but charming. It can be downright disabling not to be able to rely on your own mind to remember things, to prompt you to get to places on time, to keep you involved in a conversation when you want to be, or focused on a page you really do want to read, or concentrated on a project you need to complete.

story of my life

I was looking through the blogs that followed me today (I do this regularly) and I saw a productivity app that I wanted to try called Forest. 

I went to the app store to download it, turns out it cost $2.79 and I needed to pay for it. Okay, not problem, I can handle that.

Turns out, I needed to update my credit card information. My dad’s old credit card was on my account but it had expired so I put mine on there and updated all of my billing information. 

While the Forest app was downloading, I remembered a game that I had played on my cousin’t phone and wanted to download, Flow Free.

I downloaded the game and played 26 levels...
