Is the only time you have a minute to STOP and THINK your commuting time or even bathroom time?

I'm not being crude, but in the world of multi-tasking - it's hard to even catch your breath. A lot of my commuting colleagues value time just sitting on a train.Just soaking in nothing - or letting the details settle.

Multi-tasking isn't the culprit; it's HOW we go about it. And since we are JUST human, there is so much to see and do and read that we're under a new kind of stress due to the proliferation of things that are SHINY and NEW. New apps. New platforms. New gadgets. New stats. Argh!

SHINY OBJECT SYNDROME is what the experts (yes, a lot of them too, thank goodness; my business is built on promoting those Thought Leaders) say is big reason we are in a tailspin.

Just received a post from Linda Anderson, who is an expert on AD/HD and has a very interesting newsletter "Getting Clear." She says "it actually has a name. It's not just folks with AD/HD who are distracted by anything that sparkles with possibilities and newness. Often entrepreneurs and business owners are also attracted, or distracted, by sparkly in the form of electronics, software and new ideas."
