Today is a big day in my career.  I did it.  I turned off the new email alert that pops up and fades out in the lower right hand corner of my computer display.  Microsoft Outlook will not distract my work concentration  again.  It feels as if  a large burden has been lifted from my shoulders and it has only been gone 24 hours.  Rather than the feeling of panic and fear coming from the constant piling of new work, I have been freed to focus on the task currently in progress.  There is, however, a larger issue that this situation has brought to light, my tendency to procrastinate.  I have been meaning to turn that alert off for well over a year.  What is something that you have been meaning to do for a while?  My charge to you today is get it done.  Who knew such a small thing could be  a huge encouragement.
