- Running a business meeting
Because I have to deal with people and their inanities Because this meeting could've been an email. Or collaborative document.
- Negotiating
Because I can't read your mind. Because there's no room for error or revision. Because I'm bad at it. Because there's always a sense that it could be better. Because I'm afraid of making a mistake
- Being interrupted
Because my focus is blocked
- Teaching students in a class
Because they're stupid and just keeping us all behind
- Creating web content
Because it takes far longer than I think it should
- Repairing equipment
Because it takes far longer than I think it should
- Listening to people's days
Because it takes far longer than I think it should Because I'm honestly not that interested, usually Because they should just know how to solve their problems right???
- Sleeping / cuddling
Just not interested? There's better things to do?
- Cleaning
Because it takes far longer than I think it should Because it just keeps happening Because spaces are poorly designed I do like the satisfaction of having cleaned though
Analyze
I like being competent and getting more competent I like seeing the beauty and truth of Creation I like making things JUST RIGHT I like working with my hands and creating things I like flow I like to develop and work with others - if we're 100% on the same ship heading the same direction. I do not want to have to convince you though.
A lot of things take longer than I think they should and it's frustrating I don't like when I'm not already onboard with someone and I'm not sure what to do when it's the case.
