Join Us Tonight

Oh Look at . . .

Surely, you’ve heard of Shiny Object Syndrome — that behavior that allows any small change to be a distraction. Are you plagued by it? Shiny objects seem to be everywhere these days.

Oh, and bring example links to share — shiny objects are fun.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. :)

    hi Liz… re “Do you get distracted easily?… Is shiny object syndrome only found on the Internet?”…

    I think any of us who work on the net get caught up in multi-tasking to the extreme.

    Right now I have 5 browser windows open, RSS, Twitter and designing a new Wordpress theme, almost forgot CNN in the background… I guess I suffer from SOS but that seems to be the norm on the net.

    BTW, I love how you engage your readers!

    The epidemy of my Shiny Object Syndrome:
    sitting in a library procrastinating on research I’m supposed to be doing by reading Havi’s procrastination ebook, taking a procrastination break from reading about procrastination by reading your blog.

    You’re oh-so-shiny. :-)
