Compartments

One thing I am really not that good at is compartmentalism of items in life. During a job interview, when asked if I’m a good multitasker my usual answer is yeah I’m great at it.

In reality I’m not really that good at it. I’ve been writing this computer script that had me stuck for the last four hours. Well to be honest it started at the end of the day yesterday. And until I solved it it was always in the back of my mind. It creeped into the little things in life in subtle ways

I guess that’s not all that out there as we obsess over conversations we just had or keys lost in the sand. But that’s a big one as when my keys or wallet go missing that’s always in the back of my mind and I can’t concentrate on anything else until I find those keys. I didn’t say I can’t work on things I just can’t concentrate on them fully.

What I’m doing here is making fun of myself a little bit. One of my strengths as I can be a relentless problem solver. It is also one of my weaknesses as one problem dangling in the air I have a hard time moving onto the next.

That’s not necessarily a good thing. I can’t sit down and relax until I finish the dishes With the emphasis on the word relax.

Admittedly, the computer script was simple enough to fix but a pain in the ass to find the problem. Now that I found the problem I am relaxed and can move on to the next thing.

Have a great day
