Doing Too Much

I've recently realized that I do entirely too much of nothing. At any given moment, I am watching TV, browsing the web, and playing a game on my phone. My attention is divided between all of them. Right now, I'm blogging and half-watching Desperate Housewives. I will likely prepare for my interview while watching Brothers and Sisters. I have no reason to multitask. I'm not working nor does anything really come from these mindless tasks. I need to start doing one thing at a time, even if it's only watching TV. I think it will help me to be more present with whatever I am doing.

Multitasking is the art of distracting yourself from two things you’d rather not be doing by doing them simultaneously.
Hopefully, it will also push me to do something I actually want to do. What are your distractions keeping you from doing?
