Distractions

I have little habits when I get on the computer. The first button I push is for gmail. And then I'm on facebook. I sort of start surfing through a few of the same spots I always go to (as discussed in a previous post).

And then I remember, oh, right. That blog thing. Hmmmm. I need to write. So here I am. Now that I'm gainfully employed (for the time being, at least), I think about those seven months after the bar. I wonder how many hours I wasted scrolling through the same old websites. How many entries I could have written. How much time I could have spent planning my book or serving other people (insert fave guilt trip here).

And now that I'm back at work, I remember how much I love being productive. So why do I need someone else to tell me to be productive? Why do I need a paycheck to tell me to stop wasting time? UGH!

It's crazy how we sit down in front of these machines and then POOF! An hour is gone. It's so so sooooooooooooooooooooooooo distracting! And I have to stop. I don't really even miss it during the day. A few emails and a glance at FB will do. And of course, my daily blog entry.

And P.S. I am still going to write that book :)!
