For me it’s “stuff”.
Some stuff can be distracting. As I look around my office I see that I have many things that have the ability to distract me. Lot’s of books, notebooks, do-dads and gadgets. Great ideas that started yet another unfinished project and causing an open loop that must be closed to free up the energy waiting to finish it to work on something else.
Another thing that can be very distracting is technology. For example, this blog. It uses some great software called WordPress. There’s another piece of software called a plugin that i want to use to post my blog posts on my Facebook page. But it needs PHP 5 and my hosting package defaults to PHP4 and there is work to be done tell it to use PHP5. Work I have no desire to learn how to do and work I must wait on others to do for me.
I find that distracting!
Where do you draw the line between the things you keep around to inspire and motivate you, and things that may distract you?
What’s your solution?
