I have one of those minds that wanders all over the place thinking about numerous things unrelated to the task at hand. Or I will contradict decisions I make due to the mind-wandering. For example: While I have been sat here writing this post, I have had a discussion in my head whether creating a blog is a good idea, or not, due to my crazy indecisive mind. As a result, I can never decide what to do and get bored.

This indecisiveness carries its self across to work. Here I am, trying to work out what is more important: Configuring an IBM database, which I may add, is close to impossible due to the pathetic documentation provided by IBM; Start developing the new back-end for a web portal I previously programed; Or start helping other people with their work. All of which are legitimate tasks that require my attention at one point in the near future. Now, I could just get down them one by one and slowly get them out of my in-tray, however the though of thinking how to fix and tackle each problem is what’s putting me off . Problems result in mind wandering which results in indecisiveness… get where i’m going here?
