The Mind Wanderer
Some people find it hard to block INSIDE distractions: their mind
wanders to different thoughts and ideas about things that do not help to
complete the task.
They find it hard to keep their thoughts
only on the thing they are doing,
watching or listening to.
It is as if there is no net or sieve INSIDE
their head – any idea or thought gets in.
This can make it difficult to finish a task in
time.
When their mind wanders, they may miss
information or instructions.
