Okay, I'll admit it...  This blog post is in fact a distraction from some of the business planning stuff I am continuing to do before the new year.  I found my mind wandering to different subjects and drifting from the task at hand which is how all of the different business units hook together and ultimately provide value and accountability for agents that I work with.  That being said, Distraction raised its head and I found myself thinking about the fact that I needed to get my workout plan back on track for the new year, and some of the personal goals which I need to be putting into place rather then just the business goals.

I also read a headline about a Blizzard heading our way so I'm thinking I should get out this morning and do something (like get a cup of coffee at Starbucks)...  I digress however being distracted yet again from my blog post about The Law of Distraction.

If the Secret is the Law of Attraction, then the anti-secret is The Law of Distraction.  Messing with the goal setting mechanism of the brain in favor of short term gratification.  So whether it be grazing for food in the kitchen, watching an old episode of Star Trek, or updating one's Facebook status, these are all distractions.

Life wouldn't be any fun if it didn't have distractions.  It's just that too many distractions ultimately yield low productivity and in this current economic environment, one must stamp out as much non-productivity in favor of making sure that goals are achieved or at least pursued.

Well enough of this distraction.  Now its time to get that cup of coffee...
