HOLY CRAP I just spent 3 hours in front of the computer and I didn't get ANYTHING done!

Ok that isn’t entirely true, I did get a few things done, just not all that I intended, but for the most part we all have to battle distractions. Mine are peanut butter and some kind of masochistic love for clutter and chaos. The reason my books are coming out in short bursts is not by design at all; it is simply because that is how I write them. I start several at one time, and then they get finished the same way. This is a behavior that I am working to correct because I cannot shake the feeling that somehow this is counter-productive. Also on my list of things to correct is my peanut butter addiction. I love peanut butter, and not just any kind of peanut butter either, the infinitely superior kind that comes from fairy tales. :) It wouldn’t be such a problem, but I NEVER take it to the computer, as that would be a disaster, so on the days that I grab a spoonful every time I get hungry instead of taking the time to sit down and have a meal, I tend to get less done because I am up and down way too much. I could use this time to organize my thoughts, but the peanut butter is just simply too distracting for me. Instead of multitasking, I just stand there drooling over the jar and mumbling nom nom nom while my tongue gets stuck to the roof of my mouth. Between the clutter and the unhealthy habit of peanut butter instead of food I think it is safe to say my vices are dictating my time. There are certainly other things that cause diversions for me, but these are the two biggest ones, and these are also two of the things that make me who I am. I will probably be working to correct these things and others for the rest of my life, and I really hope that I am because that is my indicator that I want to grow as a person. If I’m not experiencing a desire for personal growth, what’s the point of living? Unless it is for the peanut butter, because if I had to make the choice I’m afraid a desire for personal growth would get the axe.
