Why am I so distracted?

American Golfer Tom Kite once said - “You will always find a distraction if you are looking for one”. He could not have been more right. In today’s day and age, no matter what you want to do, you will find someone or something distracting you from your work. 

I always want to write something or the other. The topic stays in my head when I first think of it but then when its time to write it down, theres always Facebook and Twitter to distract me. Not only these but checking and deleting Emails on Gmail and also the uncountable links on Twitter and Facebook, the Status updates, the Youtube videos, Photo Comments all end up sapping not only my time, but also my energy and concentration. After finishing up with Twitter and Facebook, my mind refuses to let me write what i want. There is so much distraction as soon as you sit on the computer! 

And its not that I cant write BEFORE I check up with my emails and tweets and the nonsense on Facebook, I dont even log in to twitter and Facebook! Its my email that leads me to these! So one thing leads to another and I end up wasting alot of time. Somehow after midnight there is less and less activity there and I end up writing at that time only. I look for information and inspiration but in the end i end up distracting myself by checking out stuff on Mashable or Engadget. And in the end i forget why i came online in the first place. It seems I am addicted to Twitter and Facebook and other few websites like Mashable and Engadget, but at the same time I only keep them open in different tabs and check them once in a while. So what is distracting me so much? Maybe i am just acting lazy because I dont have a deadline. Or maybe because I simply want to write when I am in mood (Although what mood is that even i dont know!) 

I hate this feeling of having my thoughts in my head and not on Paper (well atleast in a MS Word file :P). Someday I will overcome this “Distracted Writer” Syndrome and start being more regular with my blog and blog more and more. Ahh, how i wait for that fateful day!
