“If we are feeling distracted, we should pay
attention to that distraction. It may be telling us that there is
something better elsewhere, something more deserving of our attention.
Or it may be telling us we are on the wrong path, just when we thought
we were zooming in to that perfect conclusion of a paragraph or a
project. Or it may be telling us we need better tools, that the set-up
we have is not fully appreciating the particularities and peccadilloes
of our own work life and demands. Or it may be telling us that we need
better partners, or a better method, someone or something to help us
over the hurdle. Or it may just be telling us we are working too hard
and we need to put down what we are doing and go outside for a walk, or
stop for a cup of tea, or go for a run, or maybe just check out Facebook
for a while. Distraction is our friend because it reminds us that we
are fully human, not just workers, and that our lives are complex and,
trying to shut out the complexity, may in fact turn out to be the least
productive way to lead a life."
