Today's lesson learned is very simple. As I'm sitting in front of our 70 inch TV set, and typing on my laptop, I wanted to remind myself to leave the TV off if I ever want to get anything done, anything at all.
This is in fact a simple yet powerful message.
There is an illusion that if you are doing multiple things at one time you would achieve multitasking. Based on my own experience, and this time I am pretty sure I am right, there is no such thing as multitasking. If you are trying to watch TV and work at the same time, you would be missing the fun of TV, and you mind as well turn off the TV, until you can give it your full attention.
Today I attempted to watch the news and worked on my blog posts. But so far, I "watched" the 5 o'clock news and the 10 o'clock news and the only thing I heard from the news was: "blah blah blah, rain, blah blah blah storm, blah blah blah..."
Jack later explained to me: "We are in a storm now, and there will be a bigger one coming starting tomorrow night."
