One Pen at a Time
Recently I was digging around the collection of pens that we have at the house in a "bucket" on the kitchen counter trying to find something to write with. There's also pencils, scissors, tape, markers and other stuff in this bucket so "digging" is the right term.
As I was digging I was realizing that the number of pens in this bucket never goes down - it just increases over time and continues to fill the bucket. For all I know, this bucket used to be smaller and was replaced in the past with a bigger bucket. How therefore do we reduce the number of pens in the bucket?
I realized that its human nature to grab any pen, use it and put it back. We never focus on using one pen until its completely gone and then go to the next pen. Things in life are like that - Tasks, for example: How often do you find yourself mult-tasking, doing lots of different things but rarely finishing one of them completely? And of course, we keep getting more tasks added to our plate?
Tasks are like pens - we just keep getting more of them and don't seem to try to focus on one at a time until its finished.
I have pens on my desk at work so I'm trying something. I'm going to use pen, and one pen only, until it is finished before I start using another pen. Maybe that focus will help me focus more on one task at a time too.
