This thought popped into my head while writing yesterday’s message. There were two small pop-ups in the top right corner of my computer screen. One was a text from one of my kids and the other was a reminder to back up my computer. I had read both of them but didn’t bother closing them as I wanted to go straight into writing. 
 
However, at least three times I realized that my eyes had wandered to that upper right corner to look at the pop-ups. Why? 
 
The truth is that I don’t know why. I just know it happened, and this has helped me become more aware of distractions in my environment.
 
Our modern workplaces and tools are designed to grab our attention, even when it is counterproductive. And each little distraction or attention kidnapper has negative consequences for our work. Every time we get distracted, it takes mental energy and time to get back to our task. Furthermore…
 
Wait, where was I?
 
You get the picture.
 
Eliminate some distractions and turn off some notifications this week. Your leadership will improve.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
