    “okay, let’s concentrate. we’ve been at this timestamp 3 times already. this time i’m gonna listen real hard!”

    20 seconds later; lost in thought.

    5 mins later: “goddamit. it happened again. 😠”

    it’s so ridiculous.

      People use fidget spinners, but I figured out that holding a palm stone (whether purpose bought or just picked up off the ground) in my hand will let me sit and watch stuff vs. randomly forgetting I’m watching stuff.

      Lol this happens to me with TV shows. I usually just say “fuck it,” after rewinding three times and forgetting to pay attention to hear the one line I missed, and just let it play.

      Yup! At least I mostly only have to jump back about 30sec now… It does get frustrating when I jump back 30sec at the same point several times in a row!
