The Recall Activity Guide: Adding Distractions to Foundation Games and Working With Real World Distractions
Systematically add distractions to your foundation games discover how to apply the same framework to work through tough distractions IRL - like a dead animal bone.
Welcome back to our Recall Guide series.

In this section, we are going to make this harder — but they shouldn’t actually feel harder! We’re going to cover how to add controlled distractions and use those same frameworks to work through distractions you encounter in real life.
