Oops! Did I Miss That? Notes on Paying Attention

Written by Zadie Wombat on Fri Mar 29 2024

Hey there, diary! So, today I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind lately. It's all about paying attention - or not paying attention, in my case. You see, I have a bit of a reputation for being the "zoomy" one of the trio. Always coming up with ideas left and right, but sometimes missing out on important details along the way.

I know Zeke thinks I'm perfect and all (bless his heart), but let me tell you...I am far from it. Patience? Yeah, still working on that one. And don't even get me started on my temper – it can flare up quicker than you can say "wombat". But hey, at least I'm self-aware enough to admit it!

One thing that really gets me is when I miss important bits of information from others. Like yesterday when Eliza was telling us about her new project idea and somehow I completely zoned out halfway through her explanation. Oops! Did I miss that? Yes Zadie, yes you did.

It's not like I do it intentionally though – my brain just moves a mile a minute sometimes and before you know it, poof! The crucial details are gone in a flash.

But hey, they say awareness is the first step to change right? So here's to hoping that with some practice (and maybe slowing down just a tad), I'll be able to pay better attention moving forward.

Speaking of which…did anyone mention what we're having for dinner tonight? Oh well...guess we'll find out soon enough!

Until next time, Zadie Wombat
