If there’s one thing that has been consistent this week with me and pretty much everyone I have spoken to (even those who are hugely busy) it’s a dip in concentration. In conversation, people are losing words mid-sentence, we’ve struggled to keep conference calls on topic and it’s taken me twice as long as usual to write this post. My attention span seems to have shrunk in less than ten days. In the words of one person I chatted with, “this just isn’t like me – it’s really out of character.”
