I get a case of the stupids occassionally too...it's like hitting the reset button in a video game but instead of cool music and a nifty reload screen you lose all your progress and start over as little Mario again and have the motor and culmulative mental skills of a dead cat. <BR/><BR/>It will pass. I don't know a cure, except to start saying (outloud...people stare but so what) I am doing so and so...or whatever to get your brain to focus. It's dumb but it works. Or make a lot of notes in your moments of clarity so that when you go braindead again (think Flowers for Algernon or Awakenings) you can marvel at your past self and do things the right way instead of the nonsense way.<BR/><BR/>And smile a lot. No one likes a grumpy idiot.Risshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582122840116012400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-16802736971922732212008-06-19T14:26:00.000-04:002008-06-19T14:26:00.000-04:00Gads, woman!

You re-wire your brain with web surfing, clicking like a madman from site to site- cut back/drastically limit your time online and watch your ability to focus improve.<BR/><BR/>It works for me. Laura Lipman as well - she recognized her inability to focus was related to too much web, so she cut back (and has even blogged about it).Josephine Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952030380866201241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-83031226430059279812008-06-18T11:45:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:45:00.000-04:00I've tagged you for a meme, for when your brain fe...I've tagged you for a meme, for when your brain feels less addled! :-)<BR/><BR/>In the mean time, I enjoyed reading your post... :-)Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-72964458864240139262008-06-18T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:40:00.000-04:00I think one way around this is to have a daily goa...I think one way around this is to have a daily goal that you have to focus on.
