Session number: 5 – 8

Average n-back: 7.15

Duration (min.): 65

Late afternoon. No exercise.

I was curious to see what would happen after the last session, which marked a low point for recent sessions.

Experience:
The first set felt quite unfocused. In the second set I tried to bring focus rather than let it happen. In other words I tried to be more active in directing my attention. After a few blocks I began to feel that I was seeing and hearing the series again.

Conclusion:
I feel as though I’d lured myself into expecting good performance rather than expecting to work for it.
