I have a little trail by the farm that I like to walk early in the morning. Often the grass is wet with dew and my shoes get soaked unless I stay on the track.
I was thinking how much like life that is. When I wander away from the track set out for my day, I get…well, not wet, but distracted. I’m supposed to be writing but an email comes in and I have to check it. Then while I’m at it I will jump over and check Facebook. And all those cute little videos…I sure wouldn’t want to miss anything. Meanwhile, the minutes tick away, soaking up my time. How can I hope to get anything done? Like meet my daily word quota.
The answer is easy. Stay on track. Now just to make myself do that. Maybe I should make the above picture my screen saver. Is there a way to make it bounce into view if I am on the internet too long?
