New job, and lots to do. I am managing to leave in time to have dinner with the family, which is very, very important to me. But I am having a lot of trouble getting to the more conceptual, interesting, thinking part of the job. I can get through the tasks, and keep up with the essentials, but the big stuff I find a million ways to avoid. I know I'm wasting valuable time, but it isn't getting any better. I have to get to a new level, and soon. I tried to get myself to sign up for a challenge Moxie is encouraging, but couldn't even stand to write in that public forum what it is I need to address. But here it is: I play too much Spider Solitare. Too much. And I read too much email at work, and blogs. I don't find the focus I need. Oh, wait, I'm remembering that I had some success with playing music as a way to make myself focus. Must try that again.
So, one, bring some CDs to work. Put them on, and get to work!
