Manage Interruptions Deliberately
Even the best organized to-do lists and daily plans will not help insulate you from distractions, however. Everyone is subject to distractions, but these days we have a wider selection of distractions than ever.
The Net offers the widest assortment of distraction in history. Everything from the usual disgust at greedy, rapacious spammers to a cool how-to make your own snow-making-machine video on YouTube; inflammatory Digg postings about yet more election fraud or thieving politicians (as shown in Figure 27, A maze of twisty little passages, all alike); a couple of IMs from your closest friends; and a dozen new Wikipedia articles—all there to entice, inform, and distract you.
