I stopped for a moment to chk the Twitter stream and saw your tweet about the Twinterns and clicked the link to the FB page where I saw the note about your post here. I clicked in and then clicked through to the wonderful post on the 18-minute plan at HBR. And just as I finished reading that one it hit me: I'd stopped working on what was supposed to be important and was instead reading about how to keep focused on what's important! Well, maybe given my social media ADD, reading your post and Peter's actually was important! I'm going back to the other work now. But first, thanks for the quality interruption.

Ironically I was just going to blog about that today on my blog! I so agree with this. Another person who follows this is Dave Lakahani who is a master sales person and he talks about the 45-15 minute plan. Forty five minutes of total focus with 15 minutes of planning for the next 45 minutes. I am a recovering multi-tasker who has found (as much as I HATE to admit it,but silence while you are working is golden and you get a lot more done! Thanks for this! Deborah Alexandra,
