--- title: Absent-mindedness --- ## What is it about? It's a state of low attention span and frequent distractions. ## How do I use [[Knowledge/Mental models/Absent-mindedness]]? In situations where I experience this, I usually go for a walk or just take a break. I also ask myself if this condition was triggered by something specific. If yes, I address the problem. If not - passively or actively, I wait for it to pass. Something like this happens to me extremely rarely, and much more often I look for ways to reduce my level of focus, which is usually very high.
