One really interesting aspect I have noticed -
As I have gotten older there are an increasing amount of things I'm not interested in, don't think about, or don't care about anymore.
Music. The latest hits have no appeal to me. It's just noise. I caught myself thinking, "What is this crap these days.". This 100% reminded me of my parents that no longer had interest in listening to the radio, which I thought was really weird and "uncool" as a kid.
Work Topics. I would be in the middle of every e-mail or work topic with great interest. Now, I just file certain e-mails away with never reading them. For the first time in my life I'm that person that can be reminded, "Didn't you read the e-mail that was sent out".
There are other examples, but you get the idea. As you get older certain things just fade away and only certain things occupy your mind. It may not mirror this article, but it's similar. What you enjoy or matters most tends to take focus as you get older, whether you realize it or now.
- svachalek 1y agoFocus is good, but as someone getting older myself I find it's more beneficial to pick and choose, rather than reject the present entirely. I.E. it's good not to get wrapped up in every little thing happening at work, not so good to not know what's going on. Good to know what kind of music you like, not so good if you can't find anything you like from the millions of modern artists.
