A colleague introduced me to a new term, recently, which perfectly describes my state of being today: “task monster”. To be a task monster is to put blinkers on, put one’s head down, and frantically power through your to-do list.
Huzzah for a productive Thursday, spent at my local public library. Notably the productivity was aided by being away from my laptop, with all its fun – and not so fun – distractions. Time now to deal with everything I missed while I was ‘checked out’ today.
Is there medication to create the ‘task monster’? I think I need some.
unfortunately not – i’ve been trying to get into the task monster zone all week, and only just managed it on the fourth day of trying!
cute term! I like it. Think I need some too.
I’ve never managed this. I get distracted by ANYTHING.
I find that ‘checking out’ is definitely the only way to get things done sometime. Am so pleased it worked so well for you – there is nothing better than that feeling of “HUZZAH!”
