Benefits of a one-track mind.

I dislike getting ahead of myself. Better to do what I am doing. By being immersed. Rather than thinking about what I’m gonna do next. No distractions. That’s a benefit of a one-track mind.  Focus. Focus. Focus.  On the moment. Oh, sometimes I take pride in my ability to multiple-task. To become a juggler. To do six things at once. But that’s not my preferred way. One thing at a time. Maybe I learned that as a care-giver. For my dear wife Jeanne. When she had Alzheimer’s.  I taught her the benefits of a one-track mind. To wear blinders. To shut out everything but the task at hand. It often works for those with dementia. And it can work for others. –Jim Broede
