I notice a lot of people can't focus.

We could see the Northern Lights a couple of weeks ago, extremely rare in the south of England. I was outside photographing it. I knocked on my neighbours door to let him know.

He joined me, but was chatting about random gossip he'd heard the other day. I ended up asking him to either focus or go back inside. He apologised.

Today, we have Internet connectivity issues with our ISP, I am attempting to co-ordinate information between our neighbours on WhatsApp. He is again rattling off irrelevant gossip, not at all interested in the issue, while moaning that he can't watch YouTube on his TV.

There's time for gossip and shitposting and there's time for focus.
