Quiet Diligent Work

The problem with working on a computer all day, is it’s easy to be distracted, if you’re not careful.

Being somewhat of a news junkie, all it takes is a bating headline and I can lose a good 20 minutes.
Given the scale of the work I have to complete, there really is no room at all to allow lax mental discipline, although taking breaks helps, occasionally.

What’s the most distracting is *sound* something about the modality of sound, it derails my capacity to work and concentrate very effectively, call it sensory gating issues, not being able to “hear yourself think”.

If you’re not careful you fall down the YouTube rabbit-hole, and you’re fucked.
