Distractions
One of the
hardest things, it seems, is to focus. Life today has too many distractions.
Here is something to watch. There is something to do. Everywhere is something
different.
The mind
goes off in all kinds of ways. Checking in on this, worrying about that. The
task at hand moves out of the away.
Just one
quick look that is all. Then right back to what I am want to do.
But, one
look, like one freshly made cookie on a plate, quickly leads to another, and
one more besides. And soon, the task with no aim falls away.
Distractions
are interesting and strong. They pull away, they keep work at bay. They lead to
guilt and loathing contempt; regret about work that no longer holds sway.
And in the
end, after all is amiss, distractions leave as a vapor, removed as a gas.
Nothing remains of the day they have spent, just the void of loss and the pain
of regret.
Totally me. Especially times like today when I was supposed to be packing for a trip. I hate packing, takes too much focus. ;-)
