is that a squirrel?

With the weekend approaching, perhaps filled with happy sounds of a carnival,  this would be an appropriate time to post this.

Distractions are everywhere. Take it from this easily distracted… hey is that a squirrel? … Ahem, anyhow...  Albeit we succeed in accomplishing our tasks, even if we sometimes ‘bend the deadlines.’

However, every now and then the distractions become too much for us. Some are welcome, while others aren’t. You can ignore it at first, but if the distraction persists, phasing out might become impossible… for the moment. Then it’s up to you to make a choice. Move away from the distractions, or join them. 
Like I said, there are good and bad distractions. If your kid desperately wants to play outside with you, well why don’t you? If the music from the parade just down the street is becoming too loud, why not have a look? If thoughts of one certain person keep you from crunching numbers, why not give him/her a call?

Of course we all have our responsibilities. So please don’t use my mumblings as an excuse to procrastinate even more. And for Jebus’ sake put down your Smartphone or computer. You must have something more important  to do, right? 
 

In order not to end this post with me nagging away, I’ll leave you with this thought:

When there’s too much noise to sleep or work: join the party, and be the last one who leaves it. Have fun.

And here’s a quote from my number one romantic movie:

All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy. All work and no play make Jack a dull guy…
