Mastering Yourself
Even when we’re working alone, behind closed doors maybe, with no one to distract us, somehow, someway, we’re often able to find creative ways to distract ourselves. Maybe it’s the allure of an incoming email. Or the overwhelming desire for perfection that subverts our efforts to stick with hard work when it looks ugly. Maybe we’re working hard, but the effort doesn’t seem to be producing results, and we’re not sure what to do differently, so we feel the almost overwhelming urge to quit.
These are common distractions we experience whenever we try to accomplish something meaningful and demanding. Thankfully, a few tools of thought can help us maintain our commitment—and follow through—when we’re tempted to give up.
In the following chapters, we’ll see how distracting ourselves could, in some situations, be useful, while multitasking is just about always useless. Then we’ll explore how being productive and half right is better than being perfect and never ready. And how flexibility might be the most important skill of all.
First, though, it’s important to recognize that not all distractions are bad. In fact, sometimes the best way to combat distracting interruptions is to create a few productive ones yourself.
