Saturday Six: Distraction

Saturday Six: Distraction
Hosted by Patrick's Place

1. What is your biggest distraction in a normal day? The telephone ringing constantly.

2. On an average day, do you feel like you accomplish more than you should, less than you should, or something in between? I usually feel something in between. Some days when work is really stressful I feel less than accomplished.

3. If you know that a close friend has a serious problem, do you ever let that worry you to the extent that it distracts you from things you need to do? Sometimes it does worry me to the point that I am not able to focus on work/home life. So, I contact that person and discuss things with them.

4. Take the quiz: How’s Your Attention Span?

Your Attention Span is Medium

Your attention span is just about average. You may think that you have a short attention span... But being distracted is something most people struggle with. The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders. If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it. It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to!

How's Your Attention Span?

5. Do you generally find yourself more distracted in the morning or the afternoon? I am more distracted in the morning. There is so much to do and I need time to get organized for the day. But it seems everyone and everything distracts me.

6. What works best for you in terms of removing the distraction and getting back to work? Taking a walk, turning off the telephone, closing my office door.
