Distractions
Sunday, September 11, 2005
I can never concentrate; there is always some kind of distraction hindering me.
Today I was typing some stuff on the laptop in a dark room. The only source of light was the laptop screen. There was this bug climbing up and down on the screen (bugs like light right?). At first I ignored it, but then I started thinking about it. I started watching it's moves. It was always climbing upwards and occasionally falling down.
After studying the bug for 2min (forgetting about the work I was doing) I realized that it reacted to what was happening on the screen. When I moved the pointer on it, it got so afraid that it fell down and started climbing from the bottom again. It worked for 6-7 times. Then it got immune to it, it learnt that the pointer couldn't hurt it. So I am trying to scare it with swift-random-crazy moves with the pointer, but it still didn't fall.
I thought of the perfect plan. I went to a website with a lot of text and scrolled downwards. The bug got really confused and fell; I did it 3-4 times. The bug got owned.
Then suddenly, a thought stroke me: What the hell was I doing? I was supposed to do some work.
I write blogs to practice my writing; maybe I should start meditating to practice my concentration?
