Information exchange is flowing at lightning speed and we are all expected to keep up.

I don’t know about you, but I am feeling the need to shut the hell up (after I finish this) reassess and declutter.

This time of the year calls for a good spring cleaning in my home and in my head.  It feels natural to reflect, re-examine and adjust focus.

My fear is that I am so used to having so many distractions, will panic set in when I don’t allow myself the constant multi-tasking.  It must work for me on some level though because I continue to do it. But, while making an attempt to do everything, I do take the occasional time-out to read my self-help time management book, of course.

I am challenged to keep this doable and realistic, so will start with a few small changes.

Oh, hold that thought, I need to take this call. . .

First on the list of distraction reducers – putting the Blackberry in my desk drawer.  The red blinking light attracts me like a moth to the flame.  I used to laugh at Crackberry users and then I became one.    

Secondly, I will try a little silence at some point during the day. My 5^th grade teacher, Mrs. Rench, always used to say “Silence is Golden, May your Life be Filled with Gold”  At the time I thought it was an awful thing to say, but I am finding that she was a wise woman!

Right now I am imagining the focus I will regain by making a few small changes.  I am feeling revitalized just thinking about it.  I have some lofty goals for myself and heck, if I put that BlackBerry down long enough, I may even reach them.   Look out!!
