Hiatus Over

My writing has been on a hiatus. Not by intention, of course. Busy has been at work and taking my time away. Since July 2012 I have been swept up in learning new job responsibilities that came my way as a result of a library-wide reorganization.

I hope to keep up with the life I am living and the services I provide on behalf of our library. It's an amazing place to be, and we do wonderful things when we allow ourselves to be of service to others.

I want to be successful, and yet I had habits in the past that I needed to eschew. One is that I am an excellent multitasker. I woke up. So my own guideline for success focus on the priorities. I received a tweet from @healthyliving -- a HuffPost service. It was about 26 things a woman should know about success. Smack in the middle of reading the list, I see, 

7. That thing you're doing isn't multitasking. "Multitasking is a myth -- what we actually do is task-switching," psychology professor Amishi Jha said. "Out of all the things our mind does, that switching function is the most depleting." Psychologist Donna Rockwell put it a little more bluntly, "There's no such thing as multitasking -- you're just not doing anything well." (see: huff.to/19nf6Wp ) for the full list.

So now I bid goodnight, and challenge myself to return to writing again, here in this space.
