Help I Lost My Focus

The January 16, 2006 issue of Time magazine has a series of excellent articles on "How to Sharpen Your Mind".

I especially liked the one on the dangers of multitasking here.

Now, I have some great terms to describe those horrible feelings when done in by multitasking. My favourites:

1. Frazzing — Frantic, ineffective multitasking, typically with the delusion you are getting a lot done
2. Pizzled — How you feel when someone you’re with pulls out a cell phone or BlackBerry and uses it without an explanation or apology.
3. Screen sucking — Wasting time online long after you have finished what you signed on to do.

I’d tell you more except I’m brain dead from screen sucking.
