I have a lot of things to do today and I’m not sure where to start. It is difficult to prioritise things of a personal and petty nature for me.

It’s tough to understand perhaps, their impact if they are not done and to quantify that impact against others. For example; should I sit here and write this or go and get a haircut?

Not the end of the world I hear you say. I installed Medium a few weeks ago, read a few stories and I fancied writing a little. I have not got round to it, this is the first chance I’ve actually had to sit down and spill the beans as it were. Though it’s been at least a fortnight since I had a haircut and I feel and untidy, so my mind isn’t on the job at hand.

I never used to be bothered by these distractions but ever since I studied a course on dyslexia correction and understanding autism five years ago, alongside irregular meditation and mindfulness practice; I feel I am perhaps more consciously affected by these petty interruptions or distractions.

It is almost as if the more I know about effectiveness the less effective I become perhaps I have always been ineffective but am just recognising the scale of it.

Anyway it’s time to get my list checked off. We can talk about being a Mountain Leader and personal betterment, after I have bought a new toothbrush.
