It's not clear if the people MollyAA12 in the OP is talking about are retired or working. Speaking for myself, since I retired and certainly since lock down, I do find myself increasingly going through all the things I have to do and clogging my thoughts up with plans. I don't let that stop me from willingly dropping everything for a phone call or meeting someone (when it's allowed) but I can imagine some people might.
