I've recently come to the realization that I have a serious problem! For the life of me, I can't seem to concentrate on just one thing. I don't know when this happened, why, and how to stop it...or if I should! I was sitting at my desk, trying to work on a single project. To my advantage, I have this HUGE 19" monitor that I super-duper love because I hate squinting at the computer. And it's wide-screen, which means I can have like seven different screens open and be able to view them all. This has turned out to be a huge disadvantage for me. It's funny, but at the same time it makes me feel rather crazy. I can't focus on one thing. Even if I maximize the one screen, I find myself constantly switching between screens to work on another project, check this, do that, where's my phone, let me respond to this text. It's so overwhelming!!!
Society has turned us into multi-tasking monsters! It's bad. Especially if you have so many things you want to accomplish. You'll find yourself, switching between projects and never completing ONE at a decent pace. Everything has to be done at the same time. At least, that's what the brain is telling me, and that is so not true! However, I've been programmed to believe such. Everyone is demanding something NOW, but the truth is, everything is not for NOW. Some days, I go home and just want to relax. I take a seat, or lay across the bed to try and wind down, and then I feel guilty for not doing something more important. So I start working again. This is bad. Don't believe me? See, while I'm sitting here typing this blog, I'm supposed to be working on a presentation. But because I know if I don't get this out, I'll forget or never get around to it later; I have to do it NOW! This is bad.
Wonder if there is a cure for this? I have to come up with something soon before I start graduate school, or MAN! Pray my strent...
Back to work I go!
