I am constantly looking towards what is next.

What is the next thing I am working on? What am I going to do next? And then somewhere between moving from task to task, I forget what I am doing and spent hours staring at a screen doing nothing to move me towards what is next.

The specific in between is what loses me. If I start on a task I will continue to work on the task until it is completely finished, or until something distracts me and breaks me out of my focus. I will be writing, then hear a noise from the other room and go to check on my cat. Now I am eating food and watching YouTube, 30 minutes later I remember what I should be doing. I go back to my writing, write a sentence feel like I need to do something else that is more pressing. Then realize that I left something half finished sitting on my computer screen or buried beneath so many tabs that it has been forgotten.

Momentum is important. If I get home and immediately start working on things or doing chores, everything I really wanted to get done gets done. If I get home and lay down for even a minute or two I am taking a nap and all of the sudden it is almost time for me to go to sleep. If I rest, sleeping is next. If I work, more productivity is next. But finding that balance is hard.

There is no real point to this post. This was just what was next for me.
