I consider myself both a relatively lazy person as well as someone who is easily distracted by bright shiny activities that attract my attention. Of course I discovered years ago that if I let either or both of those tendencies hold too much sway, my life would veer in an unproductive direction. And, worst of all, because things would start to go, well, not so well, I would begin to lose my freedom to goof off and my ability to run down cool, creative rabbit trails! So some of the best things I have done for myself are to create blinders and focusing tricks that keep my attention engaged with the best things at the right times, so I don’t have to work so hard at not working hard.
