Distractions are easy to avoid ~ as long as they are outside. At a store, on a book shelf, anything that can be cleaned, a TV on the wall, out to a movie….But inside the mind!
“Come on! You need a break
~ it will help your research ~ you’re just curious - it’ll only take a couple of minutes……” Before the thought is fully formed, hands and feet are already busy with the duster that seldom gets used,
or rearranging the furniture,
or maybe taking a walk just because.
All those distractions can be good things ~
letting that too busy mind mull over the
most recent project and plan a next move,
or it could be simple avoidance. I choose to
believe the mulling over theory and keep my
hands and feet still till I truly listen to myself.
“Most of what we say and do is not essential…
Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?’”
~ Marcus Aurelius

The photo/ title combo are ideal. At least when you’re “mulling over”, it sounds that it has a point, not my mulling times.
