8am is not prime time for multitasking.

It was around 8:00 o'clock this morning when I made myself get out of bed. I walked into the kitchen and began making coffee and oatmeal. I was multitasking and placed both the cup and bowl on the kitchen counter. First, I poured the coffee, then I grabbed the almonds out of the pantry...Plunk! Plunk! Plunk! I stared at it for a minute, still not fully awake, and wondered why my coffee just splashed at me.

8am is not prime time for multitasking.

Sometimes I think I've lost the ability to relax. I could take an easy day that consisted of me working from home, outside on my balcony on a sunny day. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad trait. I just feel like I've wasted too much time doing so many things I didn't want to do in my life. Now that I'm finally doing the things I want to do, I want to do them all at once.

What is the definition of relaxing anyway? I think its defined differently by each individual. When I envision myself working from home, outside on my balcony, on the perfect day, that's relaxing to me. Joe Blow or Jill Smith might not agree with me though. I suppose relaxing is kind of like making coffee. Everyone has a unique, specific preference.

Usually though, I don't take mine with almonds.

  1. I want to have a normal conversation that doesnt consist of, "What formula did you use to calculate..." and I want to admire actual pictures that aren't chemical spectrums.
    I want normal multi-tasking... not super-human geek multi-tasking.
