I might well ask that to myself, why do I feel the need to distract myself from what I’m doing - watching TV while eating, losing myself in thought while driving…

I do know better, I know that activity is far more effective when it is given full attention, and yet still I don’t manage it very often. Why? Often boredom! That monkey mind says “hey, this is boring, let’s go off somewhere else, anywhere but here”. But here is where it’s at. Here is now, and there’s nothing else.
