This morning was overrun with distractions: my Facebook notifications were dinging constantly, meanwhile I was getting texts, I was also carrying on severals conversation on Twitter partly public partly private, Google chat was buzzing, I took 2 phone calls, all the while I’m trying to write a blog post. When all was said and done it took me more than 2.5 hours to write the blog post. I had woken up at 6:15 and aside from breakfast, I was conversing, interacting and blogging until nearly 10:30, at which point I showered and ran to the office. It may sound like all of that chaos is a bad thing, but it wasn’t. Yes, it made me a little nuts, and truth be told, I’m writing this as a means of settling my mind. However, the conversations resulted in the following:
- I enriched 5 relationships by having some really in depth, personal/professional conversations
- I think I’ve decided to write a book
- The blog post I was writing was dramatically improved to such a degree that it barely resembles the original idea and instead has become something much more profound.
Sure, I haven’t checked my email yet. But I feel great about the relationships I have, both personal and professional. Sometimes the chaos is a good thing, it’s not always worth fighting.
