I can get so easily distracted.
Here I am, 10 o'clock at night, sitting in front of my laptop, trying to find ideas to write for today's post. As I sit here, I suddenly remember.. I have some money that I need to transfer. I took my bank token from my drawer and put it on my laptop.
That's when I saw my inbox. Hey, my friend sent me a soft copy of magazine in which she work as a journalist. I almost forgot to download it. Better download it now before I forget again. #click #click
Then I noticed a facebook notification on my browser. I opened the tab and click the icon. Oh, my cousin replied my comment on his post. He's studying in Canada now, I hope he's ok there.
Wait wait, what were I doing before? Ah yes, I need to transfer some money! Okay, to the e-banking website. Hmm, bye bye my money.
That's when I realized I had opened too many browser tabs. Must close the unused ones. #click #click

Wait a minute, I initially opened my laptop to write! Aaargh...

Then I write this whole story.
Distractions are generally bad, but as you can see from this post, sometimes it can be useful. One less post to write for me, at least. Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow!
P.S:
If you like some challenge (or have nothing better to do), try to guess what websites I was having on my browser :)
Writing everyday is not easy.
It's hard to do during the weekdays (work) and not that easy to do either during weekends (movies, games, sleep all day, food, etc). You have all these ideas to write in your head, but you feel too lazy to put in the effort and convert the ideas into writings. Ugh!
I realize this even more, because today is the fifth day of my consecutive writing and posting to this blog (damn you, 5-days ago me!). I had no previous habit of writing in a diary (except if you count the kind of diary that you had during elementary school, the one which you pass to your friends to write on. "AUDI, A: Audi namanya U: Unik anaknya" lol). Writing is a new discipline for me, something that I still need to force myself to do.
Ah, wait a second. I do have 1-time experience where I got paid for my writings. Hahaha, quite neat, huh? It's not nearly that good when I submit my draft to my editor, that's for sure. It was all thanks to my brilliant editor, mind you.
But still, back to my previous statement, even though I knew writing is not easy, I still think it's an important skill to have. Check this article from Leo Babauta at the Zen Habits about the benefit of writing daily. Pretty nice, huh?
Anybody wants to join me in this chalenge?
