What may be contributing to that feeling?

Too much demanding your attention You sit down to do one thing while remembering five others. Work, family, messages and unfinished tasks keep pulling you in different directions. Staying busy is easy; finding space for what matters to you is harder. Going round in circles You replay conversations, reconsider options or search for another answer. Yet all that thinking leaves you no clearer about what to do.

How can this happen to a capable person?

You sit down to work. Someone needs you. A message arrives. You remember three unfinished tasks - and you haven’t started the first one yet. Your ability to focus and follow through operates within those conditions. Stress can also affect the brain processes involved in holding information in mind and working with it.
