Talk and work? Forget it!

I may have times when I work on something that I loose my attention, but somehow my mind wants me and pushes me to finish what I have started. I really hate to have things be stuck in my mind as I have always had trouble with "letting things go". I just do!

Having just finished my sophomore's in college, I realized that everyone is different when they work at a project or something. Some are good at doing the project whilst talking to their friends at the same time, some do their best when they are alone. And I tended to be best whenever I work alone and I "know" what I am working at. If I don't know something, I Google it up to find answers, or at school, I go and ask the teacher (even though I still get tense doing so).

My dad also introduced a new technique to help me focus on work. And that involves using an Eggtimer being set at either 10 or 15 minutes and a 5 minute break after each interval. This technique worked flawlessly for both my dad and I have recommended this technique of "time intervals" to others as well. But nevertheless, I don't like to be interrupted with talk while I work on anything, even while doing the laundry or the dishes.

My mom asking me of what to have for the next meal annoys me a bit. I'm one of those few who don't go hungry easily and especially, she would ask me while I'm working on something. I just don't get it, I just hate interruption. If I see someone working, I NEVER interrupt them, unless if there something really urgent. But if I have to respond to a question, I will respond. And the same goes for school as well, I will only ask if urgent and answer if someone asks something important (or if I'm not too busy).

Don't get me wrong, I just need to focus whenever I do something. Many people are already annoyed of even someone calling them through their cellphones when they drive! I hate it too when someone rings me up whist in a public place or whenever I'm working which requires 100% focus. I don't want to switch off my cellular if not necessary as those who call me may think something has happend to me.

I don't really know if my adulthood life would be better or worse than it is now. Only time will tell and if I could, I would tell people that not everyone can multitask. Sadly, the corperate world we are seeing today defies that and the stronger are honored. It really sucks that things are like this these days, but not much can be done-- just do your best.
