I used to be very organized, efficient, and did the least attractive tasks first. Now I am a terrible procrastinator! Something about having to do a task that I have done annually, or even more often, for fifty years makes it less likely for me to tackle it early. Where once my motto was "put everything in its place, and if it doesn't have a place, make one for it." Now I make catch-all piles on my desks. Yes, desks. Every level surface in my house functions as a desk. I think I need your enabler services something awful!
getting distracted in the workplace, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Isn't "disruption" now considered a good thing in many cases? Put up a barrier and see if going around isn't more efficacious than going straight to whatever you are trying to solve. You pick up on other aspects of the problem that you may have missed when the task seemed straightforward.
Which makes me question this statement. The walls do not always fail us:
We will through up all kinds of walls to try and stop the inevitable, but inevitably, they all fail, they all crumble under the tide.
What's the salary? ;D
You'd think so. But even in the tech companies, they are far more set in their ways than they like to admit.
Just realized it says through, not throw... sorry. they sound similar, so my brain just types it out and if I miss it in the moment, it is there...
All the walls fail eventually, as all authority fails. We can have our rules, set our boundaries, but inevitably, something will come along to undermine and break them down.
