Ignoring my family
Given that I need to increase my personal productivity readers might notice that productivity's been a recurring theme of late.
I get a lot more done when I am alone for long periods. However, when my family are around, they are often engaged in their own activities, not interrupting me. I think I am just instinctively trying to fit in with them anyway, to be available when something interactive or communal does happen. In my position it's perhaps a bad habit but it's been hard to shake. They interact with each other about computer games that they play but I generally try to avoid games. There are other times when it's not really clear what's going on but perhaps I don't actually have to wait until that's determined before doing something anyway.
Festival days like today might be an exception but I have been getting more done lately by imagining what I would do if alone and by not feeling bad about antisocially abandoning my family to head upstairs to my desk when they are just buried in their electronic devices or television shows I can miss or suchlike. I make it clear that I am quite interruptible and often I can get a good hour of work in before something more like family time seems to again occur.
It does mean that I have been getting less reading done of late.
