I think total and utter distraction is the key to living in society today. How else would we never really get anything done?

Try two different screens with at least 10 tabs open on each. Oh, whoops, you probably already have.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’m starting to feel like I have adult ADD. I’ll be in the middle of one project, start two more, and in the end still feel like I’ve acomplished nothing. The fact that I’m in the final two weeks of the “day-job” and wrapping up a million projects there is not helping.

Kudos to you for helping the wife with dinner though! I’m a bad wife who hasn’t cooked in the last two months.

Bravo on the learning Spanish! Sometimes I have these blank out moments in the same situation – ten tabs open, piles of books…and I don’t know if I make it better or worse by making list after list.

The constant distractions are definitely overwhelming.

For me, I always go back to the “first things first” mantra and then I begin to breathe again.

I’m the same boat, I feel a little overwhelmed by all the reading I have to do, and the writing I want to do, and it’s difficult when living with a bunch of party animals. Myself included. Teach me Spanish! I’m dying to learn.

You started it all Julie, with your inspiring interview with her! http://matadorlife.com/freewheeling-lynette-chiangs-two-wheel-journey-from-a-cubicle-to-cuba/

I’ve actually been in touch with her and she’s given me some good advice. First stop on our next tour: Cuba!

And great idea about approaching them. I’ve been thinking about that.

Amen- that’s my life in a nutshell right there.
Glad you’re learning Spanish. And Bike Friday?? My friend Lynette, who’s from Australia, is their customer evangelist! You should propose some epic trip to them and see if they’ll sponsor you.
