Both on and off the mat I find myself engulfed in a world of ADD and it is driving me nuts!

When did my life become so busy and complicated that I not only do two things at once but find myself doing three or more… and doing them all badly!  As I type this I’m watching TV, working on MY blog, updating the OmBlogger main site, and watching email come in and checking it to make sure it’s not “work”.

This Sunday on the plane home from my last trip I decided that I would try to focus on a single task at a time, to take each task and focus.   Then I realized who I am, and that while this is a great idea, it will never happen.  SO, I decided to at least bring awareness to my tasks, to notice how many different things I’m doing at the same time, and to try to weed out the nonsense ones.

What I’ve noticed is that I do a lot of things out of habit like checking mail as it comes in.  Is there really an email that can’t wait 15 minutes for me to respond so I can finish writing a blog post?  Well, there may actually be, but here’s the point, if I can’t learn to find my Drishti, than I will never calm my mind…

Day 3 of my experiment, and as I finish this post I am only doing 2 things…

How many things do you do at once on an average day?
How many of those things need to be done at the same time?
