Arriving at a place and not knowing what we were going to do there is one of the most common mistakes and that, of course, happens to all of us. However, you have to be very attentive because, although sometimes it remains anecdotal, if it occurs very frequently it is cause for concern.

The psychologist Mar Ricart has explained to us why something like this happens to us and what the consequences may be. These distractions occur, according to her, because the brain has different ways of functioning and when we are stressed, it is in alert mode.
