On a book that was recently recommended to me, “Your brain at work”, I’ve learned how important it is to keep on your stage (mind) only actor(s) that are relatively important to your current doing(s).

Why is that? To summarise: conscious, critical thinking has its daily limitations and the brain can only put with so much. Just as one orange will only give you a certain amount of juice, your brain will only give you so much daily (effective) power.

I’ve drifted for at least 3 times already, I didn’t think I was going to write a story for medium today, I thought I’d be dropping my partner at the university gym and read some of my kindle books in intervals of 20 minutes between them. It didn’t go as planned unfortunately as I forgot the kindle in my partner’s bag and it was the main focus of what I had planned for this morning.

Reading would’ve been easy, I had visualised a scheme for how I was going to distribute the time between each book and strategies to keep me focused while at it. I prioritised and would then employ the energy to retain the content of the books while creating mental associations and imagining scenarios where the situations might apply.

Writing is not as half as easy, like I’ve mentioned, I had no plans of doing so, but here you are. What you’re reading is an unplanned, disorganised script, almost, if not a total attempt of my mind to tell myself “Please, do not let me get bored, fill me up with something even if it is just staring at random people, deeply contemplating the reasons behind their existence.”

Time flies by meanwhile, as expected, and I’d like to finish the story with the following list of what you might not remember or think about on a daily:

• Can you squeeze 3 oranges at once in an accurate fashionable way?
• Can you possibly drive through an unexplored road and text a friend, something that you should NEVER do but could probably manage to on your way home?
• Can you visualise more than one idea or concept at once?
