Thinking: A How-To Guide on Being Productive

Today, I found myself looking at an endless parade of boring facebook pictures and had an epiphany. I worry, constantly, that I'm not as productive as I'd like to be. And then I wonder why that is--what's holding me back from my inner Type-A personality (I always dream of being Type-A, but I think I operate on more of a Type-D, or E level).

Epiphany: AHA! When I stare unthinkingly at facebook pictures, I fail to be productive! So is it wrong to look at facebook pictures? No, it's just pointless, but that's beside the point--the point is that there's a different point that points to pointing out that there's a point at which I swear I have a point....

I think there was something about bunnies. NO! That was before. We're done with bunnies. Now, it's about thinking, or not thinking--it's about falling into the trap of doing things unthinkingly, like reading another whole article on Hilary Clinton's failed campaign.

So, here's my guide to being productive: Think.

Those political articles! I get sucked in every time. Not to mention (but to mention) looking at my friend's boyfriend's dog's aunt's pictures on facebook. I swear, like, every 2000 pictures I know someone. Usually. Sometimes. Ok, rarely.
