This is not a "niche" blog. This is everything that makes me, me - or at least the bits I write down. There's no such thing as a "niche" person.

Time management

I was going to write a post about how I need to be more focussed to get done everything I want to do, but then I got distracted doing other stuff...

I've been looking at ideas for writing more quickly. One of the common suggestions is "Don't edit while you write"; I do this consistently, mainly because I have to look at my fingers while I type. As soon as I look up at the screen I start correcting words and phrases. But the main thing I need to address is my ability suddenly to be fascinated by everything except the task at hand. I can understand this at work, where nothing I have to do holds any interest for me, but it's ridiculous that I should want to sit down and do something, them as soon as I have done, I'd rather do something much more dull instead.

Hmmm. This may be more of an insight into my psyche than I'd intended...
