I’m not perfect: 2 of 10 — Easily Distracted
I am the dog in the movie Up.
I am easily distracted… and there are squirrels EVERYWHERE.
This past month I’ve been working on building healthier habits, especially getting back into reading, writing and working out.
To help me achieve that goal I also bought a physical pomodoro timer to try and get into a regular rhythm of work (25 min) and break (5 min).
Eventually, I should be able to finish my day knowing that I’ve crushed through 16 solid 25 minute sessions of work.
That is a far cry from where I’m at now chasing every squirrel my phone throws at me.
I’m lucky to get through 1 or 2 without a distraction of some sort.
I’m posting this publicly in the hopes that it helps someone else out there.
Someone who is struggling with the fact that you’re not perfect, but are frustrated that everywhere you look around you there is perfection.
Let this serve as a quick reminder that the perfection you see all around is just a veneer.
And that it’s okay — you’re not alone in feeling frustrated by that veneer.
