Staying Focused..

I had a horrible day for focus yesterday.   So horrible, in fact, that I ran out of newsblur things to read, and I found myself browsing reddit.  And that, now that I’m better rested, is not okay

Here’s to a focused, productive day!

I should probably stop writing blog articles for today.
