My Brain On Autopilot

Isn’t it fascinating?

Yesterday, I answered a phone call on my way to work about a potential project with a publication related to the storytelling project I’m already working on.

But that’s not what fascinated me. What fascinated me was that, during the entire call, as I answered and asked questions, I was unconsciously driving.

I was so focused on the phone call that I wasn’t even thinking about driving, almost as if my brain was on autopilot.

It helps that I took a route I’m most familiar with. But I genuinely have no recollection of how I got to work, only that I did, and without crashing into anyone else.
