not so much because I’ve succeeded, but because single-tasking is step 4 of this goal, and there’s no room for redundancy on this list!

making my brain sit still 1 year ago

I’ve been experimenting with this for a day or so, and it seems to be helpful: just shutting out everything but the task I’m working on for a (short) block of time. That means shutting down all my computer apps except the ones I’m actively using, pushing the computer away when I’m not using it, keeping my inbox and desk clear, etc.

I’m starting to appreciate how my brain goes subtly haywire when too much is going on, and then it starts vegging out and doing the mental equivalent of eating a gallon of ice cream for comfort. Hope this will help.
