Days 3 & 4 recap

All this week, I keep thinking about one of my kids' favorite book series.  If you give a.....  written by Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want milk.  Milk needs a straw...  And each thing reminds the mouse of something else.  Random, fun things and things you need to do...  etc...  until it all comes back to the mouse wanting a cookie again.   Isn't that how life is?  At least mine.... 

I'll get thirsty.  Get a cup of coffee.  See the dishes.  Use a kitchen towel.  See it's dirty.  Head to laundry.  And it goes...  until I'm back sitting at my desk doing what I was supposed to be doing in the first place.

I'd love to tell you that the last two days have been a blissful couple of single tasking days but...  really.  They've just been a blur.  Do you ever have that?  You try to recall what you did and can't really be specific.  Did I eat breakfast?  Um...  I think so.  What did I accomplish?  I'm not sure. 

Again, my wise husband has a saying for it.

Don't confuse activity with accomplishment

This morning, I've been busy.  Doing this.  Doing that.  But I haven't really accomplished anything.  Which is why this is going to be a short post.   I have to get to work.  :)

So, I'll leave you with the above.  Look for accomplishments.  I think that will lead to a more singular tasking mindset.

And...  have I said how hard this is?
