Liz Michalski's "That Crazy Friend" discusses the distraction of social media -"Shortly thereafter I realized that if the Internet took human form, I could arrest it for stalking."
Therese Walsh's "Monotasking: The Forgotten Skill You (and I) Need to Re-claim, ASAP" talks about our struggle to focus - "Our minds have become fragmented because we are living fragmented lives."

And speaking of being distracted and not focusing. . . have you ever wondered "Which Famous Poet Are You?" Me neither. But I still took this fun quiz and found out I am most like Emily Dickinson.

And more distractions . . . a whole YouTube channel of Minions! Swing those pants, baby!
Something about Minions - they are just plain funny!
ReplyDeleteI know! They ALWAYS make me smile. :)
DeleteYES! Social media has totally contributed to insanity and an inability to focus, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of minions, I need to get back to that cloning device. It's going to work one of these days... ;)
Social media definitely has its pros and cons. I continue to struggle with finding a balance that works for me.
DeleteI think I have terrible distraction problems...hmm, maybe I shouldn't branch out into social media...
ReplyDeleteI thought of this post when I read yours today. :)
DeleteI think the fragmented idea is so true and we allow it to happen.
ReplyDeleteI think, too, that it happens so gradually.
DeleteAny post that combines Emily Dickinson and the Minions has to be a winner - thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteHa! I try. :)
DeleteI love those minions! And thanks for the great links above too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Margo!
