puppetmakerBut there is also the usual laundry and household chores that need to be done to keep house and home in some sort of order.
So there is a balance that needs to be struck which can be difficult to do but needs to be done.
I am rereading Flow. I read it when it came out back in the 80s. It is an interesting theory of how we work through thing and how we get “into the zone” while working. Multi-tasking goes by the wayside but I don’t know how much of Multi-tasking is useful and how much is temporary distractions from the main task at hand. I use to be an advocate for multi-tasking and I did a lot of it when stage managing but now I think that we might be overdoing that just a bit.
We have a lot more to distract us these days thanks to the Internet and smart phones. I hate to use the simpler times phrase but there was a time that you couldn’t get a phone call in your car unless you were very wealthy. The Internet didn’t exist for everyone. Personal computers were a thing of science fiction.
But we do have a choice whether to be distracted or not. It can be hard to step away from the keyboard for a bit especially when you are riled about something that someone said but I think we all need to do it on occasion. You may not be able to do it at work because that is part of work, but at home maybe make some time to not be connected into everything.
I am going to give myself about an hour to noodle around on the Internet in the morning and then I am going to get off of it until later. That might give me more time to get other things done in the real world which I feel like I am falling behind on.
My brackets are in and I didn’t go with a lot of the popular teams with the exception of Ohio State which is my pick to win the whole thing.
I saw something on some show this morning about Mom Caves. Boy that would be great to have. I have a room but I have to get it back into shape so I can use it.
I have a feeling I am going to be doing a lot of cleaning this year.
I am grateful for focus without panic.
