The buzz in my brain

Do you ever have those days, weeks, or months when you sit at your desk and you try to get something accomplished, but you seem to only check your e-mail? I've been stuck in that rut for a few weeks now. I get more done than reading my e-mail, but I don't get the work finished in a way that it feels "done." I don't know if that is because the task isn't clear, or that so many tasks are popping up and changing the priority, or maybe it is just busy work.

My brain has been wandering in and out of thoughts all this time too. Partly work related, but often not on what I'm should be focused on. Even when I get home I'm looking for distraction. I will read part of a comic book, or a few pages of a book (or multiple books.) Yet, I never seem to keep a focus that would let me complete even the distraction. I have managed to help clean the kitchen with Sara, fold laundry, and make the bed -- busy work.

I was really glad to climb yesterday, big surprise for you I'm sure. I was really focused and my brain was idle for a bit. It makes me wish that we all valued free time more. I'm sure we'd all agree that we need more time for holiday and travel, but I'd bet we'd all put in more office hours to save for the future. Okay, before I get distracted again....done.
