Focus and Twitter
(0)I picked up Twitter on a lark after seeing them on other sites. Didn’t know what I would do with it but I have ended up finding it to being an accountability buddy.
I have wanted to break some good habits or momentum but then I think of writing in Twitter. I write about it and it keeps me on task reminding me of what I want to do. That is really the problem with me. I will have a moment of clarity and strength then I will use my powers of procrastination to say, “I will do this tomorrow,” for avoidance.
Twitter keeps my goals in my mind. I actually dreamt of using Twitter, that is how much it had excited my mind. Out of reflex I have bought a soda during lunch and starting drinking before I remembered that I was “focusing” on my goals. Sounds silly but I would just forget.
Even after this experiment is over, win or lose I will keep Twitter. I have a “Monkey Mind” as they call it in Buddhism and being able to throw thoughts on to Twitter will let me organize them later.
Almost 24 hours and I am still excited. I’m doing 90% better than I usually do with my plans.
experiment, focus, Twitter
