Ye Gods I’m Distracted!
Probably two years ago, I urged a group I belong to to take on their World Conference in 2006. As fate would have it, about 18 months ago I was made chair of the committee. Since then, until July, we’ve been meeting monthly and doing our business in a fairly leisurely fashion. Starting last month, our meetings increased to weekly and now the Conference is nine days away.
Nine days! Only nine days! As you might suspect, there’s a ton yet to do. In fact, when I think about it, it only makes sense that the work load would increase wildly as the date approaches.
But the truth is, the work for the conference still isn’t anything like full time. In theory I have ample time, or at least enough time, to do all the other stuff, including writing. But I’m distracted. I’m finding it hard to concentrate on anything but the conference… and much of what I really want to do is worry, which isn’t productive at all.
Of course, even writing a little bit about my distraction helps clear the cobwebs. What is it about writing out a problem that takes the pressure off?
Total change of subject: There’s a new poll over there on the right… vote!
