Too Many Narratives: How does your brain do it?

[@gnurd]

I've definitely had this story overload happen. Watching two TV shows, reading a book, playing a video game, following several monthly comic series, and playing in a D&D campaign all at the same time gets to be a lot.

I've never understood how people can read like 5 books at once and be happy about it. If I start one, I'm committed to that one until it's over, 100%. And yeah, multi-tasking is just doing more tasks less efficiently, 😅.

For me, all that matters is whether a story is good or not. If it's good, I will binge it all day and not get tired. If it's bad, I start falling asleep right away and have to do something else. I suppose I do limit myself but only because I want to be consuming the best thing at any given time. Everything else can wait until that's done.

I'm having kind of the opposite revelation in regards to reading. For a few years I hardly read anything, felt like I could never finish anything. Now, I've given myself leave to juggle multiple books, and I've been finishing far more! Currently reading: - The Two Towers by J.R.R Tolkien (via Audible) - Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb (paperback) - Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio (eBook) And that's alongside watching Arcane, playing Genshin and WoW. I think variety helps my flavour of ADHD to reach the end of narratives, albeit over a longer period of time than is typical. I've finished 14 books so far this year, which is huge for me.

We just need the Scott board game rules for all games!
