You Cannot Focus with 88 Tabs Open
from The Salty Goddess · host The Salty Goddess
In this spicy midweek slap of truth, The Salty Goddess, Anne Margaret Perry, unpacks sustained attention dysfunction, aka why your brain refuses to finish literally anything ever. If your mental tabs are multiplying like feral rabbits, your to-do list is becoming a to-shame list, and you're spiraling in dopamine-fueled distractions, this one's for you. From clinical insights (without the white coat) to salty real-life meltdowns and actually useful, dopamine-driven solutions, Anne Margaret breaks the cycle of hyperfocus hell, shame spirals, and the myth that multitasking is a flex. It's not laziness. It's dysfunction. And it’s fixable… but only if you stop lying to yourself and start closing some damn tabs.
