We interrupt this day...

On my Google homepage, I have a widget called "Things to Ponder." Today I encountered this one:

Why is it when you get from here to there, you're still here and not there?


Now that's profound. It would tend to explain, too, why some days you feel like you've never gotten anywhere, even though it's 3:30 in the afternoon and you have done a lot of stuff - just not the things you intended to do.

So how DO you get "there?" In my job, the only way I can possibly imagine doing that would be to work in a
void - no contact with other people - at least for periods of time. It's the constant phone calls, emails, people dropping in that prevents me from staying on task and accomplishing exactly what I set out to do this morning.

Okay, so I distract myself, too. Why else would I be writing in this blog when I haven't finished everything I set out to do today?

Oh, look...
