Distractions
It’s so easy. Ooh, look at the shiny thing. That looks interesting. Perhaps there’s something interesting over here.
I have been very easily distracted today, and it is far from the first time this has happened. I know I should be concentrating. I know I should be finishing this project. I know I should be isolating myself from temptation and getting some productive work done. But there are too many shiny things to distract me.
Actually, there are no shiny things. Well, none that demand my attention. I have spent today doing a little work but constantly looking for things to distract me.
Update my iPhone applications. Check for updates on all the applications on my Mac. Read all the RSS feeds. Wonder whether I can set up a system using DevonThink Pro to filter my RSS feeds automatically, that would make reading my RSS feeds more efficient and free up more time for work – ha! See what I mean?
I did do some work, but not as much as I should. It is just so easy to distract myself with things that might be productive one day but right now are nothing more than a way to avoid the work I should be doing. Like writing this post…
