There are many different paths to being rather flummoxed. I guess a basic step into flummoxology is experiencing it. Here is one procedure that may give a relevant experience:
Have a partner that you are frequently with go off on a multi-day trip.
Lose your usual method of connecting to the internet. I did live for about 40 years without being connected but for a second 40 years, I connected and digit-ed regularly.
See? With just two steps, you can experience a high level of flummoxation.
After completing those two steps, wait a while. What? Wait? Do you realize that I am an American? Americans are often handicapped when it comes to waiting, regardless of waiting for a long time, like an hour, or a rather short time, like 10 seconds. So, if you are not an American, it may be easy for you to use your adult patience and understanding. If you are a product of the US of A, grit your teeth, fret, re-grit, re-fret. As with any skill, you will probably find that waiting in a tizzy eventually modifies the tizzy into a more relaxed ability to simply check the calendar every minute to see if the necessary time has finally elapsed. Eventually, with luck, it will.
