An article at Tools for Thought blog, titled Overflow: The Dangers of Excessive Focus, caught my interest. Here is the quote that got my attention
Focusing on a goal is only as worthwhile as the goal itself, and mindfulness requires that we periodically reexamine our goals, making sure that they’re still meaningful in light of what we’ve learned since we first defined them.
I find myself distracted quite a bit these days, doing this blog entry while in the middle of coding for example. There are times where I find that the only solution is to go to the extreme of shutting everything else out. I've found over time that this causes issues that I could never quite put my finger on. Well, I think this article points out some of these.
