I learned a new word this week: Omnitasking.

…omnitasking is a higher state of multitasking enabled by today’s many technology tools. Talking on a bluetooth-enabled smart phone while sending out an email from your laptop and sipping a latte at the corner coffee shop - that’s omnitasking

Are you afraid? I am. I don’t want to be an omnitasker. I want to sit on my porch, sip an adult beverage, snack on some mixed nuts and chat with my husband. I don’t want to always be connected, always be productive, always be ON. Just thinking about it exhausts me.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, my friend Michelle sent me a new link this week - a blog called The Growing Life (”Alternative Productivity, Anti-Hacks for Living”) that’s all about living an intentional life. The author has a great post about the Attentional Feng Shui of a Room. If you don’t have time to read it all at least skip to the end and read the four concrete steps you can perform. I’m jazzed and ready to transform my home office and then tackle the rest of my house…the bookshelves in my room, my stash of yarn for knitting, my stack of paid but not filed bills, you get the idea. I’ll let you know how it goes.
