The whole idea of mental noting sounded distracting, wasteful and useless to me. I resisted. Time is a limited commodity. Since I said I was open to suggestions, I must keep my word. I had to try it.
I was correct, all those things were true and what I learned from it was actually practicing mental noting was worth it. I plan on doing it on a regular basis.

Just do your best, my friend.
If anything distracts me from my inspiration, I won’t try it!
I’m someone who works on inspiration and spur of motivation …
once pass, its hard to come back for me…
Unless I know I’m not working on anything, I won’t try this 10 minutes “breaking” interval
But I’m curious if it works for you 🙂
this one is a very crammed full suitcase to unpack. Mindfulness is extremely hard, but beyond that is actually being in the moment. That is truly hard.
Nice!
One thing I have to learn to do is to focus on doing the work of blogging on this site and others to the best of my ability.
