focus...or lack thereof

Anyone else out there suffer from iwanttodoitall syndrome?  You know, all the fabulous ideas you have that you really want to complete but you get sidetracked with life in general?  Or is it just me?

I realized today that I have trouble focusing (shocker, I know, to those of you who know me well!) and I need to improve in that area.  I'm the world's greatest list maker and thinker of things that are important to accomplish, however my follow through is not up to par.

The first part of my problem is that I love to read and write and I get online to check emails and take care of business and then end up on Facebook and before I know it, I've wasted an hour of my time.  There is no denying it anymore - I'm a junkie!  I enjoy reading about the lives of my family members and friends.  I get a kick out of the stories and clips of great things that people are up to.  I tell myself I'll only check a couple of pages, then I'm all wrapped up in scrolling forever.  I.Must.Stop.

Another issue that is  keeping me from attaining  my goals is my attention span.  I will begin a task in one room, and then find myself taking an object to another room where I am suddenly sucked in to putting out a different fire there.  Someone help me!  lol



I feel as though this past year at work just scrambled my brain.  I am convinced, however, that it is possible to get back on track.  I am committed to continue to begin my day with prayer, God's Word and quiet time.  It is what grounds me and starts me thinking of my Lord, drawing strength from His promises.  Now if I can just find the strength to unplug and focus on what I need to get done....Pray for me y'all! 

How do  you stay focused??  Can you share some tips me?!
