Single-minded

We are experiencing a day-long meeting of department chairs which I’m treating as an intense writing day. While people are discussing whatever it is chairs are supposed to care about, I’m churning out my word count.

Then people will ask how I manage to publish so much. This is how.

  1. Yes, but how? How do you actually manage to write with everybody else speaking around you or in the midst of the commotion that such meetings generally are? What about people noticing that you are not participating in the meeting?

    1. I’m sure they are noticing. Just like I’m noticing them scrolling Facebook and posting on Insta. 🙂 At least, what I do directly relates to my job description.

      As for tuning them all out, I practice deep focus. I train for it. As a result, I can go into a zone absolutely anywhere.
