It's apparent in this busy phase of my life that distraction is a very deadly thing. Even this post was delayed a good six hours due to distractions and my easily broken focus. It's the downfall of a creative mind. A new idea is constantly looked for and commonly found in the midst of a thought already in progress. If the new idea proves more interesting, which it does very often initially, then it takes over and several tasks are left either unfinished or not even started.
My mind is very good at deciding what it does and does not want to do, and have become skillful at convincing the rest of me that there are more entertaining things to be done than work, school, or even another recreational activity. Even now, Facebook is calling my name in the back of my head and my favorite hand held games cry out from neglect over the past two months.
I need to focus, but a lot of the time, even when I want to, I don't want to. I work best under pressure, though, and I've yielded nothing but good work from crunch time (mostly), so maybe that's just the way it'll be. I shouldn't say it's my best, but it definitely brings it out.
