1.
Walking into a room and completely forgetting what you went in there for.
2.
People consider you a terrible texter because if you dont respond immediately youll forget about it for several hours, or possibly an eternity.
3.
Looking for your glasses that are on your head, looking for your phone in the dark using the light from your phone, and searching for your keys that youre literally holding.
4.
Watching a movie and when people discuss it afterwards, your catchphrase is always I dont remember that part.
5.
Daydreaming about something pleasant in public and realizing you have a full blown, goofy smile on your face.
6.
When amongst a group conversation, youll often sit there and miss a large fraction of the discussion because your brain is thinking about other random things like what you want for breakfast tomorrow, or if there truly is a proper way to fold fitted sheets.

7.
Having to actually turn off or mute the TV and work in complete silence if you want to be productive.
8.
Your browser is a mess of windows and tabs because youre constantly getting sidetracked and clicking on everything that catches your eye.
9.
There are countless movies and episodes of TV shows that youve partially seen because once that commercial break came, you wound up doing or watching something different.
10.
Trying to get work done in public places isnt going to happen, because even an ordinary passersby can push your brain down a slippery slope of snowballing thoughts.
11.
You arrive at places, whether websites or thoughts, and you have no idea how you got there. How did you make your way to that weird Twitter account? You were writing a minute ago, now youre fantasizing about pasta how?
12.
When reading books, you catch yourself not paying attention to paragraphs and even pages that you've mindlessly scanned through but didnt comprehend, so you have to go back and reread them.
13.
If a YouTube video is any longer than 1-2 minutes, watching it is just out of the question.
14.
Nodding, smiling and saying mmhmm every few moments when someone is talking for a long time, only to have them ask a follow up question that you cant answer, like, What do you think about it?
