All of those thoughts running through your head make it difficult to concentrate on what’s in front of you right now. Those cluttered thoughts can also make it difficult to enjoy the moment.
Maybe you’re having dinner with a friend and all you can think about is your to-do list. Or perhaps it takes 30 minutes to send an email because you keep questioning how to word each sentence.
