The Environment Does Affect Your Ability to Focus

Our brain is like a computer in some ways, but it's also like a muscle. And that story about the magpies really resonated with me. I can totally see how my brai does that exact thing. It just picks out these little pieces and hard codes them. You know, i can't remember things that i have to do, but i remember silly sport statistics from 20 years ago because that's what my brain shose to hardwire into the nest. If you accept that, then we can start programming against it.
