And I tell them about the wasting time. About clicking through people’s photo albums and click click click click click click click click click click click click and then I’m not making music. Some of my friends get it. But more people have said “really? do you waste a lot of time on facebook?” For me, the cumilative effect of all those little clicks, 2 minutes here and there throughout the day, checking messages, watching funny videos, is WASTED TIME. Because it’s not just the time spent on facebook that’s lost, it’s the time it takes to get back into whatever I was doing before I had the urge to distract myself. That time adds up. And it kills productivity. [...]

I particularly like the idea that ‘open loops’ are what is distracting. The more ‘open’ projects we have, the less cognitive space we have available for each one.

Also, I think this ties in with some things I’ve read about confidence building. The only way to get more confident is to do things that make you feel more confident. Strangely, one of the most inspiring, confidence-boosting things I learned about, and have since used, is choosing something different for breakfast.

The more successful completions you have, the more you get used to finishing.

Thanks for this post, Jonathan.
