I thought I rrrrolled my R's quite well! Besides, I completely agree - it's way too much fun to stop! We'll just have to accept a reduction in productivity. As always, <i>Balance</i> in all things! What, you didn’t like my accent? I thought I rrrrolled my R’s quite well!

Besides, I completely agree - it’s way too much fun to stop! We’ll just have to accept a reduction in productivity.

As always, Balance in all things!

I'm with Erik - blogs are my undoing. Or are they? I have so much more fun this way, meet so many people, share ideas, read about tribbles, learn about the distinctions between trekkers and trekkies, get a smile in the morning - you know I just want to keep that door wide open :-) Joanna Hi Robert

But they're so much fun! Prioritization goes a long way toward controlling the little critters, though. As does actual, you know, will power!

I just mentioned a trekker high school friend of mine today. My "tribble" of late is definitely reading blogs. I start off on one, link to another, then another, then another. . . My solution? Try to limit myself to a set time limit, then bookmark where I left off. Robert, it must be the day of Star Trek posts. I just mentioned a trekker high school friend of mine today.

It's almost impossible to <i>not</i> stop and check it when I see there's one in the que. Brad: Final Jeopardy? I knew we had a lot in common! Jean: Thanks for dropping by! I have to admit - it seems like the ones I'm not that sure of are the ones that draw the best responses. Now, how can I tap that knowledge? Mike: I know what you mean about email.

I'm trying to finish a proposal for a new client, but my eye's on the clock because I want to catch Final Jeopardy. Seinfeld reruns are on next, so ... here I am reading your entertaining post about Tribbles. Like Mike, I'm a major Trek fan, especially Next Generation. Not only does the show give flight to your imagination, as Mike says, it speaks volumes about our everyday life, as you talk about. What other TV show ever did that? TV is a big distraction for me.

It makes me feel accepted, and connected but like the “tribbles” (hold on—I just got one—I will be right back) they distract me beyond belief. For me the solution was to simply shutdown my Outlook (I hate Outlook by the way, but have to use it at work) and open the program hourly. Since you opened the Star Trek door—---few alternate realities (I know it’s a show) have given our minds the chance to travel beyond our own cubicles. Just open your flip phone and try not to ask Scottie a question. E-mail–I have a love/hate relationship.
