Ever notice how one tiny moment can spiral into a full-blown story in your head?
That look from your husband, one awkward interaction, or a small mistake can suddenly feel like proof that something’s “wrong.” It’s so common, we barely notice it—but there’s a name for it: a Tifbit.

Feeling scattered like a squirrel on espresso? I totally get it. One minute we’re tackling a task, the next we’re chasing another idea. It’s exhausting, and nothing seems to get done!

But then I discovered this game-changer...
