Sometimes I can be hyperfocused. Sometimes I can be distracted as a five-year-old on Christmas morning. There are days when my computer helps me do both and today it seems to be a love/hate relationship. However, my computer certainly did not remind me that I was cooking lunch when I left the house to go and run errands. It did remind me that I want to finish my billing, it told me that I want to attend an event tonight and several other things. It also had provided me with useful, but not directly related information for my business.
- Researching VOIP due to an email? Check.
- Reading About ADD? Check.
- Setting up plans to go swimming? Check.
While I’m extremely grateful that I”m interested in what I’m doing and that the Internet can provide so many great resources. It’s a bit amusing to realize that I haven’t necessarily accomplished what I set out to do. But, on the upside my business knowledge has been enhanced.
Today’s Strategies for coping:
- shut down distracting windows like IM clients
- make plans to go swimming
- find the timer and set it and work on a project for at set amount of time.
