I've also taken on a commitment to live a complaint free life, back when I was doing the Benjamin Franklin series. The one thing I'm ruthlessly doing right now is simplifying my life: this includes donating ALOT of clothes, organizing, throwing away junk, reducing feeds, and many other things. So far it's been great for reclaiming lost attention. The one thing I'm not doing that you recommended is absorbing gap time. Whenever I have openings, I usually fill them in with more information (i.e. listening to audio tapes while driving). However, I can see it as being beneficial to schedule down time, to just sit and think. Thank you for the great post. I like your idea about scheduling an appointment with yourself.

Luckily I dont like to draw peoples attention to myself so I dont distract them.
