I am a day late writing this. I had planned to participate in Gypsy Mama's Five Minute Friday yesterday. Actually, I had planned to participate Thursday. It was on my list of things to do. But, it would seem I have a problem with focusing.
When I set out to read a book, I find my focus is divided. I read a page. Get up and check Facebook. I read a couple sentences. Remember I haven't checked that junk e-mail address (where I now get important tutoring e-mails). I read for a little bit. Decide to go brush my teeth. Focus. Definitely don't have it.
But this weekend, this Friday to be particular, I actually did manage to focus.
I was dog sitting, so I was at someone else's house. And for some reason, when I am living by myself in someone else's house, all attempts at normal life focus -- like running errands, getting to bed at a decent time, eating a normal amount of food (two Nestle Drumsticks in two days and 5 string cheese sticks in one day isn't normal) -- vanish. So as my normal life slowly, what's that word, unraveled, a different kind of focus came into play. I decided to read my novel. And I did! Like, while sitting down for lengthy periods of time and not getting up to check Facebook, check e-mail, brush my teeth, etc.! And I finished that book! For once, I was focused.
Mmm, and it was a good book! :) Salzburg Connection by Helen MacInnes (written and set in the late '60s).
So, I was so busy reading that I never did get around to writing my 5 Minutes!

Can totally relate to your lack of focus. Amazing, isn't how many other things there are to do at any one given moment. Thanks for visiting my blog - do check out the Pomodoro website. The technique really does make a big difference, helps you to stick to one task for one chunk of time - and I need that help!
