Distractions

I noticed today, that I have a lot of distractions. I'm watching TV on my computer, as well as playing cafe world. Even as I am typing this up, I've got cafe world running. Both of these are my go to distractions. I've got plenty more.

I have a lack of motivation and focus. Distractions are my worst enemy, but are treated like a welcome friend. Minimizing the distractions doesn't help either. That only makes it worse.

Embracing the distractions, on the other hand, will guilt me into doing what I need to do. For instance, if I get into the TV show, my mind says, "Wait! Don't you have something else to do?" Suddenly, the situation is reversed and the chore becomes the distraction.

Here is a partial list of all my distractions:
  • TV
  • Movie
  • Cigarette
  • Cafe World
  • Surfing the Web
  • Driving Around
  • Nap
  • Making Coffee
  • Playing any strategy/puzzle game
  • Making Myself Happy (If you catch my drift)
