Did you read that? A Distraction is a Distraction!
I don’t know about you - but my story could be this.
I get up early, 5 am before most of the world gets turned on. Before God turns the lights on, outside! I have plans, I have a project scheduled to do before the world wakens.
Coffee is perking, I turn my computer on, the project to work on is on my desk, which is also giving a yawn and waking up to the smell of coffee.
Distraction.
My computer tells me there is an important email from a colleague. Read it now. I do. He has given me a link to another website I really need to review - now. I do.
Distraction.
It is now 9 am, time for another cup of coffee. And to make my wife her breakfast cup of tea. She loves her cup of tea while doing the bathroom getting ready for the day stuff a wife does.
Distraction.
It is now 9:45 am - must finish up the project that my colleague directed me to before he calls me about 11 am to review.
My personal to do project is patiently sitting on my desk taking another stretch and smiling knowing that sooner or much later I will get to her.
Distraction.
An hour with my colleague on his project well that was not the plan for today. However, it was important.
Distraction.
Noon and I always eat lunch right at 12 noon. Never a minute late either.
This day is going by quickly and really so far all I have accomplished were the Distractions.
Distraction
Afternoon, Oh, the ballgame is getting started. This is a very important game this season. I know I have a priority project sitting on my desk ….. but…….
A Distraction is always a distraction.
My success is following a system and being focused on “this one thing I do”.
Life quickly passes by – with Distractions unless I make certain that PRIORITIES supersedes the Distractions.
