Focus, focus...

I sat down about an hour ago to continue reading Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally, but have gotten lost in Twitter. I checked to see if anything was going on, and it was down hill (so to speak) from there. For some reason I found it necessary to scan through the list of 444 possible groups to follow (excuse the lingo if it is incorrect. I'm not letting myself go back to check the terminology for fear that I won't get back here). Curious, I clicked on various choices, Ellen Degeneres, some Health Magazine type of thing, the Today Show, ... and found myself following one link, to another, to another. I'm in need of suggestions to help me focus better! For days, my intent of sitting down at the computer to complete class work has been to go through the two essay/reports listed in cluster 10, and for days I have been getting side tracked - at least going down class inspired roads, I suppose. If I were using a GPS to guide me toward my destination, I can hear it now, recalculating, recalculating...
Another C to add to the list, Choices. There are so many.

  1. It's true, you need to recalculate when you find yourself in this situation.

    For what it's worth, here's what I recommend after learning the hard way.

    Planning is key. If you have an hour, take out a piece of paper and write down what you want to accomplish. Give yourself permission to investigate links if you have time, but try to stay attentive to the hour's tasks.
