It’s a very gray and drizzly day, and we are due some thunderstorms later. I hope more toward evening, but we can only wait and see. Or maybe they won’t happen.
Also possible.
I found myself today trying to do dozens of things at once, a bit here, a snippet there, a little moment elsewhere. And so far I have completed none of the things. Because I can’t actually do them simultaneously.
Pause for shock and gasps.
Strike that, one thing finished. But it’s not this post.
It’s funny how we’re seeped in it, aren’t we, this idea that we are not only supposed to do several things at the same time, but that we are required to. That it’s pure laziness or an individual flaw if somehow we can’t cook and type at the same time, we can’t walk and write at the same time though apparently a lot of people do do that. I’m standing right now with my computer on the counter and I can’t say I hate it. It definitely has me going faster I think.
Probably so that I can sit down.
In fact I’m going to move you so I can do just that.
Ah. That’s better.
The truth is we only have, maximum, two arms and one brain, at least most of us reading this post, unless you are perhaps an octopus, in which case congratulations on the WiFi.
And as much as we’d like to believe we can do a million things at once, really, we’re best at one. Sometimes not even that great at that.
I’m speaking for myself here.
Maybe the hectic flitting is only that: flitting. Maybe it’s better to simply sit down and focus on that one thing.
And now I’m off to fully ignore my own advice, with one more check on the list. Have a great Wednesday.
