Mind Lead Delays

We enter the office thinking about the day ahead. Something an urgent and important task to be completed first.

It needs some focus and to be put properly, and we allocate time for it, for which we don’t want any disturbance in between.

But then, we called for a meeting at noon. That’s it! It takes all the enthusiasm out of us.

Then till noon, nothing big happens, we keep waiting for the noon meeting.

Then post meeting, it will be lunchtime in 10–15 minutes. There, it gets delayed again.

After lunch, you decide to sit and complete it, then a pop-up comes, for an appointment after 30–40 minutes, planned well in advance, & difficult to say no.

The end of the day, when everyone leaves the office, we sit for it, expecting no more disturbances.

We sit despite getting late for home, because if we don’t do it now, tomorrow it will be the same again.

We finish it in 15–20 minutes.

It could have been done easily before that noon meeting or that planned call, but the mind doesn’t work in that way, and it gets delayed.

How do you plan in such a case?
