I feel scattered at all times! Hard not to feel glued to my phone lately to get the latest updates or get that sweet sweet dopamine from all the memes that are being made to make fun of/react to the latest and greatest crisis. I’m so lucky my project is a little slower rn

I just try to take breathers when I'm feeling overwhelmed or unfocused so that I can take a minute to get my mind right again. It can definitely be hard to not get distracted with everything that happens during the summer, so I just try my best to eliminate outside distractions wherver I can.
