Trying to Stay Focused (It’s Not Working)

November 18, 2013 by Barb 14 Comments

Hello friends!

It’s so cool that I am working from home… quite often I have to remind myself of that. I have a job… I write tutorials for Digital Scrapper…

snowy shed, instagram, keeping with the times

…but in between I jump from my blog, to Pinterest, to Google+, to FB, and on and on. Then I have to go get something to nibble on, or drink, or I need to take a picture of something, like my back yard…

Oh, wait! Is that the phone? Is it my friends wanting me to go for a walk, or shopping? Puleeeze? Somebody help me!!

OK, I’m over it.

Back to work…

    Hmmm. I’ve heard … and can imagine … that working from home can be a blessing and a curse!

    Oh Barb, I LOVE your photo! Staying focused?? Hmmpphh. I sure haven’t had much luck with THAT lately! I think maybe it’s feeling the rush of the Holidays coming and trying to stay afloat with our images and blogs, and family, and……..well, you know where I’m coming from! Hang in there, we’ll get through this. LOL

    Focus – can you spell that for me ;-) Your description made me smile, I can soooo relate!!! Therefore, unfortunately, I’m the wrong one to ask for help ;-)
    I love your photo, too, by the way!! Have a wonderful (focused) day!

    What a gorgeous photo!!! And I can totally relate…one of my goals for 2014 is going to be to stay focused and concentrate on the task at hand until it is done. Up until now I’ve disguised my movements from task to laptop to camera to fridge as multi-tasking. It’s time to come face to face with this craziness. Hope I can master it!

    Love that barn photo! I love Digital Scrapper tutorials…your process sounds like how it was for me in graduate school having to write papers or a thesis.
