Un-Twittering

So I decided to un-twitter yesterday. I deactivated my phone from twitter updates. I found that I don't really need a real-time update of what my friends are doing. I would prefer sanity instead. Of course, I still am part of twitter and follow my twitter feeds on tweetdeck. I just don't need them to add to the deluge of emails on my blackberry.

Next Step: I am going to stop talking and listening. Email would be the only method of communication :)

Single Tasking Report 4/6/09

Good progress today. While I had the occasional slip - checking email too often, reading blogs etc. I was able to keep the focus on one task for most of the time. I did seem to get a lot done despite interruptions. To the next day now...

Single Tasking 4/4/09

Not much work done over the past few days, but I am happy to say that I am doing fine on the Single Tasking Front!

Single Tasking

Too many disruptions today - just not a good day! Need to get better at single tasking.

Single Tasking - Update April 1st

Good day today! I was able to shut off email most of the day and concentrate on work, checking email in half hour intervals. When I read blogs, I only read blogs. The best part was lunch though - eating lunch without TV, a book or anything. Helped me appreciate the flavors of my veggie-avacado-banana peppers burger. Sounds yummy, right?

Multi Tasking

Like all of us, I multi-task. A bit too much. While on a call for work, I would be checking my email while trying to catch up on the blogs I read through Feed Demon.

One of the things I am trying this month, is from the book 'The Power of Less.' The simple idea - I will try my best to single task, and report my progress on my blog everyday. Not that my blog is followed so widely that I need to worry about boring my readers.

So today, I did make some progress. I concentrated solely on my work related call, and was surprised that I was able to come up with inputs that normally I don't. And I really listened. Now that I am blogging, I am just blogging. Not checking my crackberry simultaneuously - which is really a disease! I wish I could get rid of it. At least I have shut off the buzz when new email comes in. Now if I can figure out how to turn off the red light that indicates a new email, I would be golden!

UPDATE: I just turned the red light off!!

3 - D

Over the past few days I have come across 2 promotional articles on 3-D movies. monsters, mcdonald advertismemts are all taking advantage of the latest technology. They even included 3 D glasses with the time and fortune magazines. Is a 3-D magazine on kindle the next big thing?

The Power of Less

There is an interesting book I am reading nowadays. It is called The Power of Less, and as the title suggests, it talks about how to limit oneself to the most important things in life. It has some excellent tips on how to narrow down your commitments, how to organize a simple schedule and really how to enjoy life! I highly recommend it!
