I already see one or two things I want to fill... if they're still free once I get to reward myself by finishing this darn monster, oh my dog.

XD Come on, willpower! It seems to be that perfect season of the year when we all need this break but we're all still wrapped up w/ prior commitments.

You know me and my lack of willpower...and small attention span. xDD

Hahaha! I'm like those dogs in UP, I'll be listening to you one minute, but then: squirrel!

Apparently a Stanford study conducted on 100 students found that multitaskers are more prone to actually achieve less because their minds are engaging w/ so many streams of information (e.g. listening to music while checking emails though the TV is going in the background and carrying on a conversation while social media is streaming in another window) and they have more problems w/ memory recall because they're constantly giving attention to irrelevant input. I'm not convinced this is a statistically significant sample, but it would definitely explain me! The moral of the story is to do less in order to achieve more and now I don't feel so bad that I can't multitask anymore! XD

That explains SO MUCH about my faulty memory and why I always feel like nothing gets done. Well, that does it, I'm going to strive to be less productive from now on, lol. Aim low to avoid disappointment, they always say. :P

Lol that's not what I meant! XD Do fewer thing simultaneously and productivity will be yours! Is the theory.

Oh, okay, I get it now. ^^; Anyway, it's good advice for me. I always try to do everything together to finish faster and it hasn't been too successful as of yet.

I've found this really works for me. Unless I'm wordwarring, when I write, edit, or read anything, I log out of twitter and email. There's this sense that we're missing out if we don't have such things on all the time, but for me personally, you can catch up on virtually anything after the fact if it's important enough. Like the fact you filled Adam/Godstiel, omc, I didn't know, but I can read now through lunch. See? The theory works! :D

The biggest obstacle for me, I think, is LJ, because I love reading all the entries, especially fic, on my flist. I actually avoided it today, though, and I got another 1k done in a snap! Maybe there is something to this theory. :D
