I went to the gym for close to half an hour--I quit about 6 minutes before the timer went off. There was a lady in there with her kid and it was a little hard to focus.
After I left the gym I headed for the mailbox. There was...

Every day I click on the little daily tasks in Bing to earn my 5 or 10 points. Generally they say something like ‘learn about something-or-other’ or they have a subject heading. Today one of them said ‘Time management’ and it led...

It was that time again for my dental checkup. I actually do not dread going there. She talks my ears off with a myriad of subjects - it's a great distraction as she works on my teeth .
Today's...

For the past couple of weeks I have been waking up early every morning, at around 5 am, which is both a blessing and a curse. I like to be up early in the summer, I feel like I’m getting a head-start on the day. The downside is...

I think I have mentioned before that, for the past three or four years, we (as a family) have participated in the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) Big Garden Birdwatch, an annual event at the end of January when...

Me? yes, I'm easily distracted.
Whenever I study a lesson on YouTube particularly trading in forex.
When my brother watches T.V. and the volume is high.
I can't focus and I get lost on my understanding regarding
the topic I'm...

It's 10:20 PM here as I write this post. After dinner I did a bit of mylotting. But then my arm started getting a bit sore hurting. That's the most common side effects of vaccine shot. To distract myself, I started working on my...

I often wonder this as I am a terrible procrastinator and hopelessly lacking in the ability to single-mindedly focus on one thing. Undoubtedly the web makes many things much easier and quicker - online shopping and banking, for...

This is my first post of 2021. How is your new year so far? Hope...

I don't know how many times I see someone driving down the street or on a highway looking down at their phone. I also see people driving at a high rate of speed without a worry in the world. Well,they should worry. They need to...

I find myself getting distracted all the time. It really struck me over the last week when I had to do some continuing education for my business licence. It's been a very long time since I've had to sit through 8 hours of lessons...

Saw this meme today and this is me, this is my constant find a distraction to keep yourself from thinking.
I am so tired of feeling so emotional for the last few months I've cleaned out entire house, including the attic, painted...

My husband and I have noticed that Eli really gets distracted when he is signing his name in his book at school in the mornings. All he has to do is write his first, middle, and last name and then he's done. What should only...

Those of you who are familiar with the movie Up! will probably recognize my reference. Dug, the helpful talking dog is easily distracted.
That is a very apt metaphor for my life. I go upstairs to a wash-cloth and notice that...

There are some online trainings I need to get done this week. In theory I can do them at school, but it never works out that way.
My preference is to do them at home anyway. Less distracting.
So for now my notifications are...
