Don't override distraction

learning productivity

• An important productivity lesson: don't try to force myself to keep working when it is clear I am distracted on a given activity. I shouldn't need to expend a lot of willpower to do something for personal use.
• Pushing harder on something I'm not interested in only serves to divide my motivation and focus. Best to switch activities and return when the interest and distraction has subsided.
• Distraction is a signal of boredom or tiredness; either way it needs to be respected.
